“sablay” instead of the usual toga for the end-of-school-year rites in elementary and high schools nationwide.Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo made the statement after DepEd Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del Pascua pushed for the use of sablay to “instill patriotism and nationalism among young learners.”
In a radio interview, Panelo, a UP graduate, after asking what a sablay was, backed the proposal, saying it may be cheaper than togas. In an Aide Memoire dated February 18, Pascua said the use of toga, “with its deep Western roots, has been taken for granted all these years despite its many disadvantages” like not being Filipino.

POGOs will continue to operate – PalaceThe controversial offshore gaming service will still be allowed to operate in the country for now. President Duterte has decided not to suspend or stop the Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs) due to the anticipated revenues that can be used for the programs and projects such as government's efforts against the coronavirus threat. Hayst This is not good. The govt should concentrate its efforts on manufacturing and production of things, foods, tech, etc. Supporting farmers and innovating the agri sector. NOT encourage gambling which gives no real value to the future of our country. POGO should be stopped. Congress umaksyon kayo. Di lang si Buang ang gobyerno sa Pilipinas. If a bill was vetoed Congress can override a veto by passing the act by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. (Usually an act is passed with a simple majority.)
