2025-05-12FACT CHECK: Antique vice governor did not withdraw gubernatorial bid
@cR0w I knew a #diving instructor on #Siquijor who wrote a book just on #Nudibranch|es he found in the #Visayas (#Philliphines) and I'd not be surprised if he did discover or at least extensively documented several species...
- Those little and cute fellas are the reason one should get a #DiveGuide there: Cuz they usually know where to find these...
Also those are really nice for #macro #UnderwaterPhotography because they ain't shy or dangerous and really beautyful...
It seems they never interpolated the storm tracks resulting in these weird strings of circles and arcs? And what’s up with the lack of data in the south? While #TropicalCyclones typically don’t form near nor approach the equator, the hard cutoff at around the 6.6°N latitude is an interesting choice.
Anyway, I can spot 2012’s Typhoon #Bopha / #PabloPH in #Mindanao and 2013’s Typhoon #Haiyan / #YolandaPH in the #Visayas, which tells me that they did use historical data.

"filipino" soldiers continue murdering farmers in occupied Visayas and Bicol in pursuit of "filipino" settler-colonialism's ultimate goal: to make all of the freedom-loving peoples of the archipelago completely dependent on the importation of foreign imperialist goods.

#Luzon and the #Visayas already have cases and #HolyWeek is coming. This runs the risk of spreading like wildfire.
Adults will weather this illness but it can be deadly for young children and infants. And hardly anyone is masking up nowadays.
Just schools in #Visayas & #Mindanao - for now.
Here is a list of areas where classes are suspended for Monday, December 18, 2023, due to Tropical Storm #Kabayan (Jelawat). #Philippines

Here's are some numbers for Q3 for the #OSMaPaaralan school-mapping initiative in the #Philippines by #OpenStreetMap contributors.
While we're likely to fall short of our lofty goal of completing the effort by the end of the year, we are well on track to adding 300% more schools than all of 2019, thanks to contributors like you.
Check out schools in your neighborhood, and available mapping tasks, especially in #Visayas and #Mindanao :
