I love the Philippines The price tag of a shirt said ₽100 (around $3) I went to pay, “that will be ₽100” Wow no tax, no extra fees Just $3 like the tag said
In the Philippines, the tax is already included in the tag price—in all places. This means no work for the customers and more work for the bookkeepers/accountants.

In reply to https://en.osm.town/@seav/112812847286368807 🧭 https://www.frederickcalica.com/?p=3366176Recently I’ve gotten into the habit of increasing the speed of a certain class of YouTube videos to 1.5× (or 1.25× or 1.75× depending on the video). I guess I’m not alone? 😅
That, and I also have a habit of checking out the 3-minute and 7-minute marks of a 10 minute episode to see if it interests me. Some creators and padding their content to be able to monetize.

the "tipaklong" here is a euphemism for "p*ta". So, "anak ng tipaklong" is more or less "son of a gun".

Hahaha. But last I check there's a group there too but inactive. When I was still playing POGO, I just check the discord for updates, then I visit the area and “hide” somewhere. ^_^;; Even in ARG, I like to play solo. There is also a Telegram group but I don't have the link currently.
If only I can find Pinoy raiders here in Montreal.
