10 of the Worst Pinoybaiters on YouTube

10 of the Worst Pinoybaiters on YouTube

Society & Culture, Technology
This might be your first time hearing the term ‘Pinoybaiting” but it’s been all over the Internet since like 5 years ago. It’s slang for feeding Pinoys Philippine-related videos on YouTube and social media prompting them to watch and eventually turning them into fans and subscribers. I am talking about the gullible “proud Pinoys” who are hungry for attention and recognition. Pinoybaiting has been a pandemic even before the Coronavirus-19 hit the world. Pinoybaiters use catchy headlines like “Trying (something) for the first time in the Philippines”, “We don’t know the Philippines has this”, “First time we do this in the Philippines”, “We are shocked to see this in the Philippines”, “Unbelievable Filipino (anything/something)”, etc… In short, they use adjectives and superlatives like ...

What to do When Your Content is Stolen and Published Online

What to do When Your Content is Stolen and Published Online

Technology
We started as a research website way back in 2016. Our viral articles have been copied and published many times by opportunist bloggers who couldn’t write their own articles. Since December 2017, we stopped writing viral content and the amount of our articles being copied has dropped, and the income of the people stealing our content has dropped as well. Despite our move to publish more serious topics, copy-paste bloggers are still doing their best to milk on our content. A blogging platform altervista.org has been used by people stealing content as their most important medium to copy our content and make money through Facebook Instant Article. One of the most notorious blogs is the now suspended localhero.altervista.org. Before Altervista suspended this blog (after our request), ...

Galaxy Cable Corporation Review – Don’t subscribe if you don’t want to get depressed!

Galaxy Cable Corporation Review – Don’t subscribe if you don’t want to get depressed!

Technology
If you are not living around Tanauan City and Sto. Tomas, Batangas area, chances are, you never heard about the Galaxy Cable Corporation - a local company offering cable TV and Internet subscription which is only available around the specified areas. In March 2018, a month after I returned from Bacolod to Tanauan, I didn’t have an Internet installed here at home. I was in one year out of the province vacation so I had to discontinue my then-problematic Globe LTE. Galaxy agents came and offered a cabled Internet connection and I immediately became a customer. From March 2018 to August 2019, I had a fair connection of around 5Mbps - enough for my work-at-home writing job. Around September 2019, they replaced my line from coaxial to fiber optics. My connection went from 5Mbps to 20Mbps....

Lists of Jeepney Makers, Builders, and Manufacturers

Technology, Travel & Tourism
Since the jeepney modernization program is still a hot topic, we decided to compile at least a dozen active and well-known jeepney builders and manufacturers here in Luzon for everyone’s convenience. There are so many small builders out there and here in Batangas alone, I cannot name every shop who assemble jeepney body. Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal are the top provinces when it comes to building the jeepney’s body. Although the number of big shops has been in steady decline, the number of small repair and assembly shops are also increasing. See Also: How Much Does a New Jeepney Cost In the town of Rosario in Batangas, I once visited a place (2 years ago) where three jeepney assemblers are found just 500 meters away from each other. These shops built the finest modern jee...

Here in the Philippines, there are dozens of paint brands sold in paint centers, but I am going to give you only the most common brands that local auto enthusiasts use, as some of the least known brands may not be difficult to procure.

The Philippines is one of the most diverse countries in terms of energy sources. Although lack of oil sources, the country can rely on its renewable energy sources like hydrothermal, geothermal, wind, and solar. The country is also one among many that do not have an operational nuclear power plant.

Let’s take a look at the Philippines’ ten biggest solar/photovoltaic plants that are operational as of 2017. 1. Cadiz Solar Power Plant (132.5MW) The Cadiz Solar Power Plant is a 132.5 MW solar...
