Google's latest addition to Allo is custom GIFs of your face

© Provided by Engadget It seems like Google hopes tickling your funnybone will keep its Allo chat app installed on your phone.

The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

DSWD Sec. Judy Taguiwalo Reveals How ABS-CBN Twisted Her Statement on EJK

Secretary Judy Taguiwalo of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) accused one of the country's leading news media organization, ABS-CBN of taking advantage of her presence at a forum to corner her on what she can say about the extra-judicial killing (EJK) and made it appear that she's one of Pres.
