Yup, you're right I'm from the Philippines lol and yeah, he's insane in a sense. Can't believe I voted for the guy jfc Altho a majority of Filipinos did vote for him because when he was the Senator of a specific city, it was one of the best cities in the whole country. Clean, safe, and almost next to no poor people/peeps living off the streets. Corrupt leaders went to almost 0 in Davao city (it's the city where Gackt has a house in so, tbh if I love it lol) I even remember before when Duterte won, Gackt made a video of full support for him, dude literally said he was happy and glad the Philippines has a great leader now wild But tbh, I didn't know he would go to such extreme lengths to get rid of rioters and such. Idk if we should've expected this since he was a soldier before gosh But all in all, the health workers here are somewhat being given good attention so that's a good news. A good portion of people keep donating PPE and a lot of citizens had gone out of their way to give driving services to front liners since public transportations had been banned already. In a way, at least there's still some good things happening in my country. Idk about the others tho, all I keep reading from other countries are bad news and it's sad ;w; 1 secret_no_03 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted April 15, 2020 if anyone needs masks and doesn't want to buy overly priced ones online or sew themselves one, Newegg gives out FREE masks (disposable ones) on your purchase. i think it's only a one time thing though and they give you five in a pack but it's better than nothing. i got some on a recent purchase for a graphics card. it just depends on whether you have something you want to buy from there or not. it's also US based but they have a global shop as well. i wonder if other shops/places offer free masks? 1 Gesu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tokage 5930 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) smh hard @ the absolute drones still thinkin shit like ''OH NO I NEED MUH NEW IPHONE'' during a global pandemic/global economic collapse tbh... Also: Dutch news said that based on immunity-related research so far it appears that only 3% of the examined test subjects indeed developed antibodies for the virus. So much for herd immunity :^) Edited April 16, 2020 by Tokage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries, just didn't want you to think children are getting money, that'd be ridiculous. Also, no one in college will get it nor will anyone claimed as a dependent.
