MGA BAGONG BAGON NG PHILIPPINE NATIONAL RAILWAYS 🚄🇵🇭

On Friday, the Philippine National Railways (PNR) unveiled their new trains as part of their North-South Railway Commuter project.

The new train will go at a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride. It is longer than the LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3, and MRT-7 trains, as well as the PNR trains that are currently in use.

Each train set will be able to transport 2,228 passengers. It will also travel at a top speed of 120 kph, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free, and efficient journey.

On November 20, 2021, the project's first train arrived at the Port of Manila.

In October 2021, the trainset passed the Factory Acceptance Test at the J-TREC Factory in Japan, allowing it to be shipped to the country.

From Malolos, Bulacan, and Tutuban, Manila, it will take only 35 minutes to drive after PNR Clark Phase 1 is operational, compared to the existing one and a half hour. It will be able to accommodate 300,000 passengers.

According to Transportation Secretary Art Tugade, the North-South Commuter Railway will help decongest the streets. Its partial operability is 2023.

Countless companies have either pulled out of Russia, or downgraded their investments/operations.

Energy Companies: Exxon Mobile, BP, Shell are all out.

Consumer goods: TJ Maxx, H&M, Marshalls, IKEA, Unilever, Phillip Morris, British American To***co, Nike, Adidas. All closing shop or reducing their roles.

Big Tech: Netflix paused services. Disney, Sony, Warner Bros paused services. YouTube and Google paused advertisements, and started blocking Russian propaganda. Apple and Microsoft paused sales.

Finance: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Citi Group halt services. Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, are winding down operations. Western Union stopped services.

Food: Burger King no longer servicing its 800 franchise locations. Mars candy, they are done. McDonald’s temporarily closing its 850 locations. No one cares about Little Caesars, but they are out too. Pepsi & Coke are out. Starbucks is out. Heineken is out.

Their packages: UPS, DHL, FedEx are all out.

Not that it matters. With so many sanctions in place, it is not even clear how trades would occur, and if they did, it is speculated there would be a massive sell off, until stocks had zero value.

Brace yourself and pray that this will be over sooner than later.

Walk-in applicants eligible to avail of the passport courtesy lane will be accommodated in all consular offices nationwide starting March 16, the DFA announced.

KAALAMAN: BURADO NA SA GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS ANG TINAGURIAN "GREATEST ROBBERY OF A GOVERNMENT"

Ang naturang record na simulang lumabas sa Guinness noong 1987 sa panahon ng pag-upo ni President Cory Aquino matapos na inagaw ang pamamahala mula kay President Ferdinand Marcos. Makikita ito sa page 281 of the 1987 book edition of the Guinness Book of World Records, under the “Theft” category.

“The government of the Philippines (Cory Aquino Administration) announced on April 23, 1986 that it had succeded in identifying $860.8 million that had been 'salted away' by former president Ferdinand Edralin Marcos (born September 11, 1917) and his wife Imelda. The total stolen, it was asserted, since Nov 1965, was believed to be between $ 5 and $ 10 billion.

Ngunit sa haba ng panahon mahigit tatlong dekada ay bigla nawala ang record na ito at missing na sa website ng Guinness World Records. Ang sagot ng Guinness noong Biyernes, March 11, 2022, mula sa head of publishing and brand communications of Guinness World Records na si Amber-Georgina Gill.

“GWR takes very seriously, now more so than ever, our responsibility to be a source of reliable, accurate information.

"Any record which has not been recently researched and verified by independent sources will be re-examined to ensure its accuracy, as well as its compatibility with GWR values and the values of the audiences we serve."

Samakatuwid ay tila napatunayan na walang basehan at walang katotohanan na ang record o ang nasabing "Greatest Robbery of a Government" na paratang kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos at sa kanyang pamilya.

Ito ay suportado ng mga lumabas na desisyon noon sa korte ng Amerika at katunayan ay nalathala ito sa The New York Times noong June 30, 1990 na nagsasabing: The Marcos Verdict; Marcos Is Cleared of All Charges In Racketeering and Fraud Case.

"Imelda Marcos, the widow of the former Philippine President, was acquitted yesterday of charges that she raided the country's treasury and invested the money in the United States.

Mrs. Marcos, her lips trembling, looked to the ceiling as the jury forewoman announced, ''Not guilty,'' four times. With that, Mrs. Marcos wept and a gallery filled with supporters from her homeland cried out and cheered in triumph."

My friend shared.

A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog. He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: “Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl”. The man says: But I am not a New Yorker! Oh, then it will say in newspapers in the morning: “Brave American saves life of little girl”, the policeman answers. But I am not an American! says the man. Oh, what are you then? The man says: I am a Saudi! The next day the newspapers says: *”Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog”*.

McDonald's is temporarily closing all of its 847 restaurants in Russia, nearly two weeks after Russia first began its invasion of Ukraine. The fast food giant’s 62,000 employees in Russia will keep receiving salaries. The closure of the McDonald’s locations will also carry symbolic importance in Russia. After the Soviet Union began to fall, Russia's first location, which opened in 1990 in central Moscow, came to represent the emergence of Western capitalism.

McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said in a statement on the company's website, 'It's impossible to predict when we might be able to reopen our restaurants in Russia.' He went on to say that the company is 'experiencing disruptions to our supply chain along with other operational impacts. We will also closely monitor the humanitarian situation.’
