This is like a second massacre. Until when will we suffer? Now you know the plight of a victim of the justice system. Why should we still have faith?” Lauro Vizconde said moments after he heard the Supreme Court.

Manny Pacquiao does it again, his 8th title win in 8 different divisions. Even though Antonio Margarito was taller, bigger and has a longer reach than Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao’s speed was just too much for him and Margarito ended up with a badly beaten face.

Now you can! With the official release of the new Philippines National Keyboard Layout, Filipino all-over the world can now type the characters that before we have to copy-and-paste elsewhere (or memorize ASCII codes).
For example, if I want to type “ñ”, I just click (RAlt)/AltGr+n and I get ñ. Typing Batangueño is now way much faster and easy. Or if you are creating financial reports and your currency is in Philippine Peso, forget about typing PHP/Php, just press (RAlt)/AltGr+p and you get the ₱eso sign.
Font availability is not a problem at all. Months ago I tested the ₱eso sign availability by simply asking it on µblogs and social networks – Linux, Windows, and Mac users can see it! And Ññ of course has been in the ASCII range (0-255) for a looooong time already.
Here’s more, start typing in Baybayin (or Alibata as was wrongly labeled by our Education system) direct from your keyboard! No need to use online typepads or copy pasting, or escaping via HTML codes, just type as you would when typing in Latin.
My name in Baybayin: ᜑᜓᜏᜈ᜔ ᜐᜒᜐᜒ ᜃᜓᜈᜒᜆ (Huwan Sese Kuneta; JC John Sese Cuneta)
Baybayin in Baybayin: ᜊᜌ᜔ᜊᜌᜒᜈ᜔
Mabuhay in Baybayin: ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔
But as you can see, you will need a font to display the Baybayin characters. Soon however, newer versions of different operating systems will have a Baybayin font included, we are working on it. For now, as a temporary solution, you can download one of the 30-50 Baybayin fonts available online! Yes, we have that much fonts, Filipinos are creating new fonts left and right.
Can someone read it? Oh yes. Offline and online. If you are in Megapolitan Manila, probably you haven’t seen or met one yet, but outside of Mega Manila, there are lots. Online, you probably encountered us talking in Baybayin via Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Identi.ca/Status.net, Multiply, even on our blogs and comments, but you don’t have a font.
Fair enough. We included a Baybayin font created by Nordenx, in our downloadable zip files. Simply install it and voila, you will start seeing the beautiful Baybayin writing script of our great Nation.
Ok, enough talk, head on over to these links to install the Philippines National Keyboard Layout (with Baybayin).

There’s one thing synonymous with the “Ber” months, it’s Bazaars. With all the bazaars happening left and right, it’s difficult to remember all the schedules and dates. So to make it easy for you, I have collated and validated all bazaars from October – December of 2010 happening in and around Manila. I present to you Boy-Kuripot’s Manila Bazaar Schedules 2010. I will be updating the post regularly for new bazaars and changes in the location and/or schedule. Happy shopping!
MANILA, Philippines – The U.S. government said Sunday it made an “honest mistake” when it displayed an inverted Philippine flag — which wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war — in a meeting hosted by President Barack Obama.
Two Cents…
It is ludicrous to say that this carelessness is a reflection of Obama or the US but you’d think in a convergence of political leaders among nations, with the US as host- someone would put in some attention to detail considering there are only ten, TEN flags to think about!! The ten-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) includes Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

This week two noteworthy events involving the Philippines made headlines: the botched rescue of Chinese tourists taken hostage by a disgruntled former policeman, and a botched response to a question by Miss Philippines in the finals for the Miss Universe contest. You might ask, what do these two things have in common? Separately, not much, but taken together, they represent both the peril and promise of the Philippines today.

yesterday’s hostage scene raked so much criticism from Filipinos (and the world alike). it was so dismaying you couldn’t help but sigh of disbelief. some IT folks found this intriguing and to perhaps show disgust, they created a game out of it!

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – A private banking officer of Citibank’s Binondo branch has gone missing after allegedly carting away hundreds of millions of his clients’ money.
Francis Bryan Ang is the former assistant vice-president of the bank’s Citigold Wealth Management group, which is aimed at high-value clients with bank deposits of no less than P4 million. Most of Citigold’s customers are wealthy Chinese-Filipinos.
A note on the Citibank website states that Citigold clients enjoy various privileges including premium information and assistance from a dedicated wealth management team that will manage their accounts.
ABS-CBN News, however, learned that Ang embezzled more than P100 million of his clients’ money.

VERY FEW people are aware of it, but we are going to have a new set of peso bills very, very soon. We may be giving our godchildren the new bills as gifts this Christmas. The present set of paper Philippine currency will be phased out. New coins will be issued later.
The question is, why is the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) doing this secretly and hastily? The nation is totally unaware of what will happen to their money or how the new money will look like. Malacañang, Congress and the Supreme Court did not know anything about it beforehand. The BSP claims that it is an independent entity and can do anything it wants. In other words, it is the fourth branch of government, a co-equal of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. To get a favorable reaction from President Aquino, the images of his parents, Ninoy and President Cory, will be in the P500 note. But no one, except insiders and a privileged few, have seen the designs.
