On this day: 1983 Oct 09 — A group of prominent Filipino Moslems warned President Ferdinand E. Marcos today to heed calls for national reconciliation or risk a revival of Moslem separatism in the Philippines.

The group of 11 Moslem political leaders, including three former senators, announced their support for a plan of unity and expanded political freedom that was first proposed several weeks ago by Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, who is a determined critic of the 18-year-old Marcos Government.

Saying that Filipino Moslems have ''no desire to be dragged into the impending chaos'' that they foresee, the leaders threatened to reassert old Moslem claims to a ''Moro nation'' in the southern islands of the Philippines ''unless national reconciliation with justice for all is speedily effected.''

They referred to Benigno S. Aquino Jr., the oppposition figure who was assassinated here on Aug. 21, as a martyr who had supported Moslem demands for greater autonomy.

random hws philippines food hcs

He loves food but he has more of a “eat to live” than a “live to eat” mentality these days… he’s not very meticulous when it comes to preparing food and would opt for shortcuts than stick to tradition like using sachet sinigang mix instead of sampalok cuz it gets the job done 🤷‍♀️. 

I think he can be a pretty good cook if he’s given the resources and time. He does miss the taste of a more authentic ulam, but tbh he’d rather seek out specific hole-in-the-walls or eat his relatives’ cooking instead because he likes eating with family so much haha.

Doesn’t really like the Filipino food in malls or upscale restaurants 😭. I think likes going to carinderias and specialty places like paresans, sutukils, sattihans, etc but places like Mesa are like an ekis for him cause all he could think is him making the dish at home for less of the price lol 

Places with unlimited rice are an exception LMAO he’s attracted to them like a moth to a flame 😔 waiters are flabbergasted at the amount of rice he could store. Also fastfood restaurants with unlimited gravy, he’s a fucking MENACE when it comes to the gravy station he treats the damn thing like a soup dispenser 

People think he’s a heavy meat eater but he’s actually not. His daily diet mostly consists of fish, sauteed vegetables, soup and rice. He gives off that impression because whenever guests are invited to his home he always cooks meat, but that’s more about his way of showing hospitality than his eating habits. He would never cook veggies for a guest; he thinks it's weird and cheap (his opinion not mine 😭)

He does however really love going to samgyeopsals (or samgyupsal/samgyups in colloquial Filipino) for special occasions. Yong Soo introduced him to the concept, and he's been obsessed with it ever since. Samgyeopsals are extremely popular in PH; I even saw some people having them at their homes for their media noche instead of a traditional PH spread! He loves the communal aspect of it… and the unlimited meat deals—

He actually has a bigger spice tolerance than you'd expect. While Filipinos in general are stereotyped as having one of the worst spice tolerance in SEA, PH does have specific regions that have spicy cuisine (ex. Bicol, Cordillera, and Bangsamoro), and he did live in Mexico's house at intervals when he was younger… so compared to someone like Manila or Cebu, samyang noodles won't kill him lmao. 

Hates biscocho or any hard biscuit with passion because it reminds him too much of the crappy rations he had to endure during his Manila galleon days. No amount of sugar will make him like it, he did Not have a good time on those ships.

Has a coffee addiction. Cannot start a day without coffee. While uses a lot of instant coffee for convenience, I think he's quite invested in local coffee scenes and enjoys a good cup of Kapeng barako. His relationship with kape in general:

The Philippine government is ready to use “authority and forces” against attempts to divide the nation, a security official has said, after former president Rodrigo Duterte threatened to separate some southern islands from the rest of the archipelago.

Duterte has called for the independence of his home town, Mindanao, from the Philippines as his alliance with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr disintegrated this week over disagreements around efforts to amend the constitution.

Marcos said amending the 1987 constitution was meant to ease foreign investments, but Duterte accused him of using constitutional change to stay in power.[...]

Violence and conflict had plagued Mindanao for decades as the government battled insurgents and extremists, which has discouraged investments and left many villages in poverty.

The region’s largest rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), had signed a peace agreement with the Philippine government in 2014, withdrawing their fight for independence in exchange for enhanced autonomy in a Muslim region called the Bangsamoro.

Bangsamoro’s chief minister, Ahod Ebrahim, said in a statement on Friday that he remained committed to the peace agreement.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine forces killed an Abu Sayyaf militant, who had been implicated in past beheadings, including of 10 Filipino marines and two kidnapped Vietnamese, in a clash in the south, police officials said Friday.

Philippine police, backed by military intelligence agents, killed Nawapi Abdulsaid in a brief gunbattle Wednesday night in the remote coastal town of Hadji Mohammad Ajul on Basilan island after weeks of surveillance, security officials said.

Abu Sayyaf is a small but violent armed Muslim group, which has been blacklisted by the United States and the Philippines as a terrorist organization for ransom kidnappings, beheadings, bombings and other bloody attacks.

It has been considerably weakened by battle setbacks, surrenders and infighting, but remains a security threat particularly in the southern Philippines, home to minority Muslims in the predominantly Roman Catholic nation.

Abdulsaid, who used the nom de guerre Khatan, was one of several Abu Sayyaf militants who aligned themselves with the Islamic State group.

A confidential police report said that Abdulsaid had been implicated in at least 15 beheadings in Basilan, including of 10 Philippine marines in Al-Barka town in 2007 and two of six kidnapped Vietnamese sailors near Sumisip town in 2016. The Vietnamese were seized from a passing cargo ship.

He was also involved in attacks against government forces in 2022 and a bombing in November that killed two pro-government militiamen and wounded two others in Basilan, the report said.

Abdulsaid was placed under surveillance in February, but police forces couldn’t immediately move to make a arrest because of the “hostile nature” of the area where he was eventually gunned down, according to the report.

On Monday, Philippine troops killed the leader of another Muslim rebel group and 11 of his men blamed for past bombings and extortion in a separate clash in a marshy hinterland in Datu Saudi Ampatuan town in southern Maguindanao del Sur province, the military said.

Seven soldiers were wounded in the clash with the members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters.

The Abu Sayyaf and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters are among a few small armed groups still struggling to wage a separatist uprising in the southern Philippines.

The largest armed separatist group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, signed a 2014 peace pact with the government that eased decades of sporadic fighting.

Moro Islamic Liberation Front rebel commanders became parliamentarians and administrators of a five-province Muslim autonomous region in a transition arrangement after signing the peace deal. They are preparing for a regular election scheduled for next year.

Typhoon Paeng

Severe Tropical Storm Paeng (Nalgae), the Philippines’ 16th tropical cyclone for 2022, unleashed torrential rain that triggered floods and landslides in parts of Mindanao, the Visayas, and Luzon. It struck just as the country was heading into a long weekend to mark All Saints’ Day and All Soul's Day.

Paeng’s five landfalls were all in Luzon, but initial reports show Mindanao suffered the most deaths, particularly the newly created province of Maguindanao del Norte.

Following the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm Paeng, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. declared a state of calamity for six months in the Calabarzon region (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon), the Bicol region, the Western Visayas, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

I've learned all about from this typhoon paeng is the importance of being ready. Many of our fellow citizens lost their lives due to the lack of preparation in the middle of the tragic situation.

To ensure that we are always prepared, it is essential to listen to weather updates and advisories. In addition, we should be aware of the emergency hotlines and stock up on food, rescue equipment, and clothing in case we need to evacuate.

As a student, child, or classmate, my priority is the safety of my families, relatives, or schoolmates, and I will remind you that it is always important to be prepared because we cannot predict when disasters will enter our community.

A typhoon is a type of large storm system having a circular or spiral system of violent winds, typically hundreds of kilometers or miles in diameter. The Philippines is an area of intense seismic activity because it is located along the border of two tectonic plates on the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’, which means it is also prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

MANILA, 29 October 2022 – Tropical Storm Nalgae (local name Paeng) made landfall on Saturday, 29 October in Catanduanes with over 3 million people living in affected areas. Strong winds and heavy rains are causing flooding, landslides, and displacement in several regions in the Philippines, with 72 unconfirmed casualties. In the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) alone, over 78,000 households are reported to be affected by flooding and rain-induced landslides. Nalgae is the latest of over 20 storms that hit the Philippines during the 2022 Pacific Typhoon season.

“You cannot forever escape from the storm; you must learn to stand up to it!” Filipinos are known for being resilient in the face of a storm, literally and figuratively. When you live in a country where natural disasters happen quite frequently, you just have to be tough and remain faithful. We should build an emergency kit and make a family emergency plan and listen to the radio or TV for information.

Typhoons is like kryptonite to me. Students like me face high risks of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression disorder, and other health problems after typhoons .

There are three lesson I learned from typhoon Paeng. First, We must always be prepared because we don’t know what will happen. Find out where the evacuation area is, find out the emergency hotlines and prepare food, water, clothes, and emergency kits. Second, We must know what to do when there is a storm and flood so that we are not afraid and nervous. Lastly, Help the relatives clean up the mess caused by the typhoon Paeng and ask the relatives who were devastated by the typhoon Paeng are doing if they are fine.

Filipinos are ready to help and unite in everything. We are not alone in the challenges of life because God and our fellow human beings are there. In everything we do, let's show love to our fellow human beings because we are the only ones who will help each other.

Argosino, Sofia Marie G-11 Narra "Typhoon Paeng"

A tropical storm unleashed floods and landslides in the Philippines, killing at least 45 people and sending rescuers searching for missing victims Saturday. Strong winds and heavy rains slammed into the island of Mindanao, displacing thousands of people, aid agencies said. Floodwaters submerged schools and households there, according to the U.N. children’s agency. It said more than 3 million people were living in areas affected by the storm, the latest of at least 20 to hit the Philippines during this year’s Pacific typhoon season. Typhoon Paeng will hit Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon on October 31. The effects of this strong hurricane have been felt by numerous homes, buildings, and people. Thankfully, our home is elevated enough to avoid disaster, but even being in a secure location doesn't ensure that I will be able to sleep through a strong typhoon like this one. Once again, we are picking up the pieces of our collective lives shattered by a severe tropical storm. “Paeng” left a path of destruction this past weekend – a time many had expected to be the kind of “long weekend” one can enjoy with family as they leisurely prepared for the observance of All Saints’ Day. The death toll brought about by “Paeng’s” wrath was estimated at 60. Many of the fatalities were from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. Most of them perished from floods triggered by torrential rains. Paeng” traversed the CALABARZON region, inundating the region’s main highways and road systems, as well as inflicting damage on homes, buildings, and other vital infrastructure. My three main takeaways from Storm Paeng are to always be ready and have an emergency supply kit on hand, to keep checking on your family members to see if they request help, and to always assist those who have been most severely affected by the typhoon. You could help them or help them with housework to reduce their suffering.
