Wazzup Pilipinas!?

 

NEW YEAR, SAME DEDICATION – Rebisco shows once again its all-out commitment to the sport of volleyball as they enter 2022 with a renewed focus and goal of getting its indoor professional teams in the Premier Volleyball League to a better finish.

 

Entering its third season in the PVL, head coach Oliver Almadro’s team aims to build on its first two stints as they aim for a podium finish this time around and raise the level of competition in the Philippines’ first professional volleyball league higher than ever.

 

After adding experienced and skilled veterans in setter Jem Ferrer and middle Cherry Nunag back in November, Choco Mucho signed four key players that will strengthen the team’s championship drive this season.  They are Desiree Cheng, Isa Molde, Aduke Ogunsanya and Thang Ponce.

 

Cheng and Molde will provide the much-needed scoring in the wings while Ogunsanya and Nunag will join the defensive middle blocking composed of Bea De Leon and Shannen Palec. Ponce meanwhile, will support Denden Lazaro on floor defense.

 

“Choco Mucho is a team we consider to still be a work in progress. We are confident our new talented players will address the needs of the Titans and further strengthen what has already been built by the team,” says Rollie Delfino, Choco Mucho Flying Titans Team Manager.

 

With all PVL teams preparing heavily for another action-packed tournament, the Choco Mucho Flying Titans v 3.0 are ready to bring their A-game on the court this season.

 

“The competitive spirit, the passion, the pride, and the willingness to do more together with faith is what I see this team being all about,” added head coach Oliver Almadro.

The Social Security System (SSS) is once again urging its members, pensioners, and employers to use its online services as the country continues to record a high number of COVID-19 cases.

SS President and CEO Aurora C. Ignacio said transacting with the SSS using its online channels is the simplest, safest, and most convenient option for SSS stakeholders.


“Through our online channels, our stakeholders can avail of our services without the need to go out of their homes or offices, minimizing their risk of exposure to COVID-19,” Ignacio said.

On the other hand, employers may also submit Contribution Collection Lists (R3), Employment Reports (R1A), Loan Collection Lists (ML2), SS Sickness Benefit Reimbursement Applications, and Maternity Benefit Reimbursement Applications; and certify their employees’ Retirement Benefit and Salary Loan Applications, among others.


Currently, there are over 30 member services and nearly 20 employer services available in the My.SSS Portal. Some of these services can also be accessed through the SSS Mobile App.

Meanwhile, the uSSSap Tayo Portal, a self-service platform, enables SSS stakeholders and the public to conveniently find relevant SSS information to answer their questions and access a facility to communicate with the SSS for their additional concerns.

Why Iyo Bernardo believes he is an alternative to Vico Sotto

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The public tit-for-tat between Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto and Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo continues, after Bernardo threatened to take legal action against Sotto. 

Sotto is wondering why Bernardo dragged “family reputation” into their verbal tussle when he never mentioned anything about it. 

“Bakit ‘family’s reputation’.. may sinabi ba ako tungkol sa pamilya niya?” Mayor Vico Sotto tweeted in response to Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo’s criticisms.

The team handling Iyo Bernardo’s publicity is not doing him any favor. As far as numbers are concerned, he’s up against a social media darling known for changing the course of the game in LGU public service. Looking at the overall engagement reactions on social media, we know who’s obviously winning. 

Ano kayang mental gymnastics ni Iyo Bernardo to think that he is actually an alternative to Vico Sotto?

Iyo Bernardo, who is running against Mayor Vico Sotto, is supported by vice presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte. 

Iyo Bernardo was the grandson of its former Mayor Emiliano Caruncho. The elder Caruncho was one of the country's longest-serving local executives, serving from 1956-1986. 

Iyo Caruncho was also a nephew of former Pasig Vice Mayor Lorna Bernardo. 

If you're wondering why Iyo Bernardo is making so much noise, it's because he was most likely was paid to do so. He's a Eusebio ally after all. Does he believe what he's saying? I doubt it. But he and the old guard want to start throwing dirt on Vico now, hoping it will stick.

I’m sure Iyo Bernardo knows he will not win. But if they want to pull off discrediting Vico as a leader for 2034, they have to start now, para it will seem like a persistent issue right from the start. 

The Eusebios know they're not getting that power back soon. That's probably why they got this pointy haired clown (seriously, hair gel in 2021?) as their inside man to supposedly publicize the boy mayor's "failings." Problem is, walang credibility si Iyo.

I mean, he didn't even show the screen of his phone to "prove" na tinext at tinawagan siya ni Mayor. And even if he did, everyone knows how easy it is to delete logs lol. But then again what do you expect from a dude who thinks his hair is a great idea in this year, at his age?

He is still the current vice mayor right? What the heck is he doing? Whining instead of actually working? Throwing a tantrum like Pasiguenos owe him anything. what a crybaby!

Iyo Bernardo is now becoming the biggest pest I've seen in Philippine politics! He doesn't deserve to be in that position and he doesn't even have the class and morals to be there. Mayor Vico rose to fame because of good governance and showed true heart for Pasig. 

Mayor Vico is one of the best LGU leaders in the Philippines. This is clearly an election ploy by those who want to be back in power. 

Talagang pelikula ang nangyari sa Pasig.

Dahil ang akala nilang imposible, nagawang posible sa leadership ng isang tao. Ang daming nabago, andaming napabuti... na sa pelikula lang nangyayari.

Hanggang ngayon hindi makapaniwala ang mga bumabatikos kay Mayor Vico na totoo yun. 

At sa pelikula, laging may kontrabida rin...at yan si Iyo Bernardo.
