Schools in the Philippines are resorting to measures including a scheduling change and installing more fans following unprecedented climate change-fueled heat waves that forced classes to be cancelled in 2024. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/14/asia-pacific/society/philippines-schools-climate-change/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #philippines #schools #climatechange

"Last year, heat waves forced millions of children in the #Philippines out of #school. It was the first time that soaring temperatures had caused widespread class suspensions, prompting a series of changes.
This school year started two months earlier than usual, so the term ends before peak heat in May. Classes have been rearranged to keep children out of the midday heat, and schools are equipped with fans and water stations."

Fintech founder charged with fraud after ‘AI’ shopping app found to be powered by humans in the Philippines
Hello #Fediverse 
Have a nice weekend everyone..
Electricity is still not working in some areas mostly in my neighborhood
BINI fans (called Blooms) commenting that the girl group's new all-English EP is not getting as much attention as their Tagalog language songs like "Pantropiko" and "Salamin, Salamin." They believe the decision of BINI's management to produce English songs to cater to an international audience was the wrong move.
Ah, the modern marvel of AI: it's so advanced it can even pass the Turing test... as long as the test is conducted by humans in the #Philippines. 
Fraudulent #fintech founder takes the "human touch" in tech to a whole new level.

My favorites BINI and Cup of Joe are twinning on the Spotify PH charts.
Girl group BINI is reshaping the sound and soul of the Filipino music industry. Their message is clear: success tastes even sweeter when it's shared, earned, and true to who you are.
And what this says is, "The future of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) is fierce and female."
