About last night sa MOA, 5 kabataan namatay at mukang magiging 9 pa yata kc meron pang 4 nag hihingalo sa hospital at karamihan babae. Respunsibilidad mo alagaan sarili mo.. Kung my nangyari man syo un ay ka pa bayaan sa sarili... Una, Alam mong crowded sa lugar hindi mo kilala mga tao sa paligid mo pra lang mka jamming ka at masabi na cool ka, alukan ka lang ng liquid sa baso.. Ikaw naman si gago iinom ka, 2nd wag ka basta basta mag take ng E/ drugs na alam mo baguhan ka lang at di mo kaya... Always remember pag sobra sometimes nkaka matay. WAG KANG TANGA!! 3rd sa mga babaeng kabataan.. Please lang wag kyo pamigay at magpa loko,, pwde??? 4th sa mga kabataan na nag mamaganda at feeling nila nkaka sabay sila sa uso tigil na ninyo mga kabaliwan nyo isipin nyo mga magulang nyo, nag papaka pagod kumita lang ng pera pra my ma ibigay sa inyo ginagawa nila un kc mahal kyo, pero ikaw naman si bobo hithit lang ng sigarilyo, nag drugs, pag party "dont tell me di ka gagastos sa bar or kung san kang lupalop ng kapokpokan mo?" Kadalasan pera ng magulang nyo un diba? Hindi ba kyo na hihiya mga leche kyo... Tapos mag ririklamo kyo sa curfew mangyayari sa bansa?? Dapat lang un pra sa mga kabataan na liligaw ng landas katulad mo.... At kayo nman mga hinayupak na alok ng alok sa kabataan na mag try ng kung ano anong drugs mga puki ng ina nyo...

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

DOF opposes tiered approach to tax on sugary drinks

© Provided by Mediamerge Corporation MONEY- Tax thumbnail The Department of Finance (DOF) is not amenable to Senator Juan Edgardo Angara's suggestion to implement the proposed levy on sugar sweetened beverages via a three-tier system. "We oppose the tiered approach. Meaning 'yung first seven grams will be tax free and then after that would be taxable," Finance Undersecretary Karl Chua said during the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP) Economic Forum in Manila on Friday. Chua note the tiered approach may compel manufacturers to come up with smaller packaging. "So you can drink three of them with no taxes," the Finance official said. It will defeat the purpose of imposing excise tax on sugary drinks as a health measure, he added. During deliberations on the comprehensive tax reform bill, Angara floated the idea of implementing the excise tax on sugar sweetened beverages under a three-tier system to incentivize those who manufactu...
