Wazzup Pilipinas!?


The platform commits to continue providing a welcoming, supportive environment for its community.


Among the reasons why TikTok has become a go-to platform for creative expression online is the safe and positive environment that has been built on the app. The platform advocates kindness by constantly encouraging its users to treat one another in a friendly and respectful manner. Nurturing a welcoming and supportive community has always been one of TikTok's commitments, and the platform continues to hold true to this promise, spreading goodwill among creators and viewers on the app to help prevent cyberbullying.

Many creators have contributed to the inspiring and uplifting atmosphere on TikTok by speaking out against cyberbullying in the videos that they share on their feeds. Through these creators, TikTok users can learn how to protect themselves and the community from negativity. Their content also lends support to anyone who may have been bullied or mistreated by others online, helping them see that they are not alone, and that they can always find someone to talk to, who understands what they are going through.

Here are some inspiring creators along with the uplifting videos they have shared on TikTok.

Inka Magnaye has been very open about her past experiences with bullying. She shares that she was bullied for many things growing up, from her teeth, gums, and large eyes, to her body shape, and dark skin color. For this reason, she has chosen to use her voice to advocate against bullying, as well as promote bullying awareness and prevention online.

EduCreator Lyqa Maravilla talks about cyberbullying in this video, illustrating the role that spectators may play in empowering cyberbullies whenever they interact with their posts. She says that, because everyone shares in the responsibility of changing that paradigm, we must strive to be disruptors instead of enablers and aggressors whenever we witness instances of cyberbullying.

In this video, creator Japboy teaches viewers how they can stop cyberbullying by checking their own reactions and comments before posting them online, to make sure that they aren't being bashers themselves.

Creators @chuckandjoe call for respect, and say no to discrimination and cyberbullying in this video, which encourages viewers to stop hate, and spread love instead.

Together with these inspiring creators, TikTok also takes steps to address important issues like cyberbullying and negativity on the platform through movements such as its recently-launched #CreateKindness campaign. This global campaign and creative video series aims to raise awareness about online bullying, and the power of kindness and inclusion in battling discrimination and hatred online. As part of this ongoing initiative, an animated video series will be launched on the @TikTokTips account, telling real stories from six animator-creators that offer perspectives on how to counter bullying, expose the true impact that harmful behavior can have on a person, and remind the community why everyone needs to work together to prevent this.

TikTok encourages everyone to participate in the #CreateKindness hashtag challenge by posting videos on the platform that show heartwarming moments, and leaving comments that can inspire others to spread kindness, too. Choose, celebrate, and create kindness every day. Help spread positivity on TikTok, and do your part to prevent cyberbullying online.

COA: DICT bought 170M worth of gadgets from construction firm

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

A Commission on Audit  (COA) report questioned the legal basis of the Department of Information and Communications Technology's (DICT) purchase of ₱170M worth of laptops and other devices, including the eligibility of its supplier.

In its 2020 Audit Report, COA cited the P170,273,000 worth of gadgets which included thousands of laptops, pocket wi-fi and tablets, that were bought by the DICT from a construction firm. 

The state auditors doubt that a general construction company will be able to legally supply the DICT with laptops and other computer gadgets. 

And the plot thickens. This is probably why Duterte was going ballistic against the COA. Well, now we can't ignore the insurmountable evidences of questionable transactions going on within the government agencies.

Universal store na pala hardware sa Pilipinas. Pati napkin, laptops, etc. Wow talaga! Ang husay nila. Ang kakapal. Ang galing talaga ng gobyerno natin ngayon. Bow kami sa kademonyohan nila.

Just like buying in Binondo. The store clerk will always say: we have that item, I'll just get from the "bodega." Bodega is code for items that will be bought by the store from nearby stores, and re-sold for a bit of profit.

Matibay daw kasi ang laptop na galing sa construction services vendor na ito. Pre-cast ang body niya. 5HP split type ang cooling system. And the keyboard is gawa sa tiles imported from Italy.

The COA also flagged the DICT for over P5.78-Billion unspent budget for 2020. 

The COA said the failure of the DICT to utilize funds for key programs affected internet connectivity in the country. 

There are dictheads in DICT. They could've also created an app and the national registry for covid tracking. Instead, our methods are Jurassic.

This is probably because another ex-military is leading it. 

I think this was the overall plan after all. To assign ex-military and friends to the different government agencies in order to accumulate funds for this administration's elite corrupt team.

The COA-UN Auditor, Atty. Jake Cimafranca, who signed off on the DoH & on the DICT Red Flags have died of a heart attack due to "stress".

We can imagine the stress brought to bear on the good man by Duterte himself who ranted last night that such "flagging, flagging" by the COA must be ignored.

Lahat na lang nang sangay nang gobyerno ni Inutil ay kurap , sindikato talaga ang mga animal!

COA flags 1 Million worth of sanitary napkins purchased by OWWA at a hardware

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

It's more corrupt talaga sa PHILIPPINES!!!

COA cited OWWA for buying more than 1 mliion worth of hygiene kits, napkins, and thermal scanners from MRCJP Construction and Trading located at No. 80 M. Cornejo Street, Malibay, Barangay 161 Pasay City. 

COA officials did not find a hardware at the said address when they conducted an ocular inspection.

Apparently OWWA bought “sanitary napkins” from a construction firm in an address that turned out to be nothing but a residential street.

OWWA chief Hans Cacdac says Deputy Administrator Faustino Sabarez III will explain to COA why the construction and trading company cannot be found in the stated address.

The OWWA purchase of  P1.269 million worth of hygiene products bought from a hardware store "is still subject to liquidation and explanation,” according to OWWA administrator Hans Cacdac.

COA also says that OWWA purchased bottled water and snack items from a caterer in Quezon City when these items are available in supermarkets or hypermarkets within the vicinity of Pasay City.

Baka naman yung sanitary napkin, may technology siya na pwedeng reusable (eww), ganun. Tapos baka online seller yung hardware, maayos ang demo nung product kaya napa mine si OWWA. 

Bata-bata system po kasi bawat government agencies. Dig deeper and you'll discover a lot of legal suppliers but they are all one owner that contracts almost all supplies and services to that agency. May mafia at oligarchs systems combined. The crooked culture reeks so high up to the mastermind.

Ang big question of the day; pati ba sanitary napkins ng mga taga OWWA sa tax pa natin kinukuha? Tapos sa hardware pa binili?

Bakit ba nalungkot si Duque? Hindi naman pala nag-iisa ang DOH. Pare-pareho silang lahat na kurap to the max. Mas makapal lang mukha ni Health Secretary.

Wait lang at nag-iisip pa ng idadahilan sila Mocha. Baka papel de liha na ang pinang pupunas nila sa mukha at puwet nila dahil masyado na daw kasi makapal at masangsang!

Duterte's Legacy! A government stinking of corruption, and protected by no less than the President whose name should not be mentioned because he might redtag you, and make you the main topic of his late night talk show.

The DDS hates corruption but loves Tatay Digs, the master of all corrupts. Lol! Kurakot dito, kurakot doon. Kabi-kabilang pangungurakot sa pinaghirapan ng mga Pilipino. This is where are taxes went, Pinoys!

Corruption. Corruption. Corruption. Officers that made those decisions and signed off the purchases should face consequences! 

Kaya nga pinapatagal ang pandemya eh... "May pera sa pandemya" - motto ng national government hanggang next year's election. There may even be a possibility that they'll cancel it, citing the never-ending and worsening pandemic situation in the Philippines.

The Best and the Brightest indeed!!!

Oh OWWA anong linyahan nyo? Kay Duque na yung "Winarak"

I hope the corruption money they've pocketed during their stint in government will be used to soon to finance buying medicines for their ailments, and also their families might get an extended illness out from their infectious disease. Karma will soon get back to them!
