PLDT subscribers, are you able to access Mastodon?
I thought it was a problem with the site or my phone but my work VPN is able to access Mastodon.Social. I was able to use someone's Globe mobile data to access the site and it worked.

This sounds fabricated just to weaken the accused's credibility in a court of public opinion.
Doesn't sound very professional to me.
PH police start visiting journalists in their private residences after Percy Lapid killing.

Marcos signs SIM registration law
After 100 days into his presidency, Marcos signs a law for the first time. However, privacy advocates question the details of the law and fear that it may be used to hunt down critics of his administration.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.has had two months and 28 days in power to spell out specifically how he aims to raise the nation’s economic game. Instead, he has relied on vague and tired talking points.
TIL of the PH Shortchanging act.
Unsure of how enforceable this is but the more you know, the better.

And if it does work, then you can then figure out how to port that into other countries."
