How the DSWD Prepare & Distributes Relief Goods for the Victims of Bagyong Lawin

There is indeed a lot of changes in various departments of the Executive department under the administration of Pres. Rody Duterte. The Department of Social Welfare and Development, one of department blamed by netizens during the onslaught of super typhoon Yolanda. In order not to repeat what happened during the previous admin, the DSWD prepared even before super typhoon hit Northern Philippines.



According to DSWD Secretary Judy Taguiwalo, their agency prepared a lot before Bagyong Lawin devastated most areas of Northern Luzon as they released over P1.2 billion standby funds for the calamity.

Due to the trust of most Filipinos in the administration of Pres. Duterte, hundreds of staff members and volunteers of the DSWD were busy packing boxes of goods for the relief operations at the main office of DSWD in Pasay City.

The goods which were already distributed earlier by the DSWD were placed inside boxes instead of the usual plastic bags. Each box contains 6 kg. of rice, 6 packs of 3-in-in coffee, 8 pieces of canned goods which are good for 3 days per family.

In order to speed up the process of packing, the DSWD made some changes as they were placed in assembly lines on conveyor belts manned by volunteers to ensure immediate distributions of relief goods to the victims.

According to the latest reports of various news outlets in the Philippines, a total of five thousand boxes of relief supplies from DSWD arrived in Ilocos Norte on Tuesday, only a few hours after the typhoon hit the province. The relief goods were part of the first batch of relief from the government agency.

The immediate response of DSWD and various government agencies ensured that what happened in Tacloban will never be experienced once again under the Duterte administration particularly in the aspects of late distribution of relief goods to the victims.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

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 ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
