I am so glad that the power is back, last night the power went off during big heavy rains, strong wind an thunderstorms, its really scary. But I just sleep and told God that I am so tired to get worry and I just say my prayers and let his mercy pour out on us. Due to the corrupt officials Manila is not the safest place when calamity strikes, because they use unqualified materials to create foot bridge and let other buildings build without safety measures. I love my country, but the officials are so thick faces to do this to us, ang now more tiktok influencers are running for senate, the nerve! Citizens of the Philippines mut wake up an should not trust their idols who has not even pass the civil service exam, and did not even won any lower position in the government and as in 0 experience in running a small barangay. I hope God will never allow it, the first thin that these people will do is to set more immoral laws, and will not set a good example to our youth.

Our constitution should be revised. The qualifications to run for office should be upgraded. Do you still have high tide there?

Yes, I agree, so those ambitious with personal agenda, and lots of air in the head can't run office. I think they need to study basic law at least and pass a board exam or the civil service exam. I agree with one of the tiktoker, those lowly government official with minimum salary should pass the civil service exam before they have a chance to apply for a job, and yet those too thick faces celebrities and influencer have the nerve to run for office, without any knowledge not even basic knowledge about our laws? And they will just study after they won. That's evil! So much for clout and air in their heads. They can help in their own ways. Mind you they are not running for Barangay Officials they are running for Senate and Congress!!! It subsided already, yesterday there's flood.

@luisadannointed We did a power outage yesterday morning, but it was not that long. I hope no typhoon will come again.

They do understood but most of them are really greedy. They outnumbered the good ones.

Either run yourself or just be thankful that you're alive and got power restored quickly.
