Wazzup Pilipinas!?

 

The Philippine Post Office joins the nation in celebrating 2022 National Women’s Month with the launch of a series of activities to commemorate the event which was held in front of the historic lobby of the Manila Central Post Office in Liwasang Bonifacio.

 

Philippine Commission On Women Deputy Executive Director Maria Kristine Josefina G. Balmes was invited as guest speaker.

 

Director Balmes talked about the gains achieved for women and girls, and actions towards gender equality and spoke about the steps that must be taken to ensure progress in empowering women. She noted that even prior to the celebration of National Women’s Month, the Post Office has already honored and immortalized in Postage Stamps the Filipino women who have brought pride and inspiration to the country which include First Filipino Olympic Gold Medalist Hidilyn Diaz, Yuka Saso, the First Filipino to win the US Women’s Open, Lea Salonga, Monique Lhuillier, Josie Natori, Olivia “Bong” Coo, Gloria Romero, Rosa Rosal, Nora Aunor, Vilma Santos and Susan Roces.

 

The Philippine Post Office is proud to pay tribute to women letter carriers and frontline workers nationwide. Women Letter Carriers in Mega Manila Area (National Capital Region) were given plaques of recognition for their loyalty and outstanding contribution in the postal service.

 

“They (women letter carriers) have not only taken good care of their families but also nurtured our postal business and raised the standards of our public service”, Postmaster General Norman Fulgencio said.

 

He added. “We are proud that almost half of the Post Office workforce is composed of women and perhaps this is why we are headed towards a more progressive and mapagmalasakit (compassionate) Post Office”.

  

“The Post Office emphasizes the importance of equality among men, women and other gender. Hindi po tayo tumitingin sa kung sino ka man, what is important is your integrity, diligence, and competence. We admire and respect women everywhere. They deserve a safe and conducive working environment, which the Post Office will always provide”, Fulgencio said.  

 

The National Women's Month Celebration (NWMC) theme from 2017 to 2022 is "WE Make CHANGE Work for Women", which highlights the empowerment of women as bearer of change that is anchored on malasakit (compassion) at pagbabago (change).

 

Spearheaded by the Human Resource Management Department, the Post Office celebrates Women's Month this year with events lined up to celebrate National Women’s Month. These include a Stamps Design Contest, a Lecture on Sexual Harassment and Safe Spaces Act, Health Services Engagement, Gender and Development (GAD) Day Care Reunion and honoring of “Solo Parent” Employees. 

 

The façade of the historic Manila Central Post Office Building was illuminated with Purple. It is the color of International Women’s Day which signifies justice and equality.

Mobile vs. PC Gaming

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



PC games have dominated the market for decades, but gaming has continued evolving over the years. However, mobile games have grown in popularity in the last decade, controlling almost 50% of the revenue in the gaming market.

While both platforms offer a wide range of games, many still wonder which the better option between computer and mobile gaming is. Let’s see the answer in this article.

Gaming on a Smartphone

Smartphones are the new favorite devices for millions of gamers in the industry. These devices are highly affordable compared to consoles or gaming PCs and they also lower the entry barrier for mobile game development companies. Even without spending money, developers can create a basic-level mobile game using free tools and assets readily available online.

The convenience of carrying a mobile phone everywhere we go has also contributed to their popularity on the gaming market as lots of players enjoy playing games while on the go. Additionally, they don’t need to be plugged into the power source all the time and you can easily carry your power bank to recharge them at any time.

Besides their convenience, mobile technology is constantly improving and developers are continually creating more immersive games while reimaging the old ones. Moreover, mobile game developers have entered the gambling and esports market, with operators like Betway leveraging this trend through their sports betting app that offers hundreds of games to wager on.

Gaming on a PC

To lots of gamers, having a gaming PC is crucial for any player who takes this favorite pastime seriously. To some extent, that’s quite believable as PC systems feature robust hardware that can handle the high-quality graphics featured in most modern games. However, mobile phones have also rapidly evolved in the last five years and they can offer good storage space and support high-definition graphics.

PCs cover a long journey, ranging from casino games at sites like Betway to online survival war games. Their processing capacity and visual offering are essentially unrivaled, with lots of PC games supporting a high level of customization. Unfortunately, you'll need to set aside a bigger budget compared to mobile gaming for you to create a system that fulfills various needs.

Despite the cost implications that PC gaming comes with, the systems are upgradable. That means you’ll always have the option to add or replace the components with new, powerful ones. Additionally, you can use your desktop for various activities, including work.

Mobile Or PC Gaming: Which One Is The Better Platform?

Mobile phones have significantly evolved to become innovative, powerful, and beneficial gadgets for different users. In the gaming world, phones have grown to handle games with high-definition graphics, immersive stories, and lots of storage demands than they could handle years ago. For instance, some flagship smartphones are using DDR4 RAM technology, which is typically common with PCs. However, mobile gaming is typically popular with casual gamers, although developers are creating sophisticated titles like Fortnite and PUBG mobile.

PC gaming is less casual and it features lots of AAA and competitive games which players enjoy. For instance, PC games like Counter-Strike, Grand Theft Auto V, League of Legends, and Dota are dominating the esports market and there are no mobile versions for them. However, gaming companies are introducing AAA games to mobile phones.

Gianluigi Buffon's bad luck in major tournaments

Wazzup Pilipinas!?


Nobody can argue with the fact that Gianluigi Buffon is one of the best goalkeepers in history. Whenever keepers of that quality are on a field, make sure to visit 1xBet in order to start betting on them.

Probably the most important highlight of Buffon’s international career was winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup with Italy. However, he has missed many matches of major international tournaments due to injury. Some of the competitions that he missed partially or fully were:


the Euro 2000;
the 2010 FIFA World Cup;
and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.



Probably the worst of these episodes came during the Euro 2000. At that moment, Buffon was only 22 years old, however, he was already the starting keeper for the Italian side. Obviously, Buffon was selected as part of the Italian squad that was going to take part in that competition. All the Euros and other major football competitions are available at 1xBet for placing wagers.

However, a few days before the beginning of the tournament, the keeper suffered a broken hand. For this reason, Francesco Toldo, who was originally the second goalkeeper in the squad, played during the competition. Also, Christian Abbiati was called to have three keepers in the squad.
The negative streak continues

Six years later Buffon played all the matches in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which saw his squad becoming champions for the fourth time. When visiting 1xBet mobile, fans will find multiple opportunities to wager on those fantastic football tournaments.

However, the 2010 and 2014 World Cups wasn’t so positive for the Italian. The squad had a disappointing performance in the 2010 competition. In fact, the performance was so bad, that they finished last in their group.

The first match of the Italians during this competition was against Paraguay on the 14th of June. The match ended 1-1 with goals from Daniele de Rossi and Antolín Alcaraz. Before the end of the first half, Buffon looked like something was not right. He seemed to have pain in his back. To not risk things further, Buffon was replaced by Federico Marchetti during the half-time. Marchetti played the two remaining matches of the Italian team. The mobile 1xBet site features all the matches of the Italian national side.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup was another opportunity for Buffon to redeem himself. He was selected as part of the Italian squad.

However, prior to the first match against England, it was reported that the keeper was suffering physical problems. This was soon proved right when Salvatore Sirigu was chosen as the starting keeper rather than Buffon. However, Buffon recovered to play the two remaining matches.
