Fundacion Sanso has announced that its founder, Juvenal Sansó, passed away yesterday, March 28. The 95 year-old artist had battled Stage 2 Diabetes for years. In his long and productive life, Sansó established himself as one of the country’s most notable modernists with more than 70 years of work.
Sansó earned prestigious awards, including the Presidential Medal of Merit from the Republic of the Philippines, the Order of Isabella from Spain and the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from France. His legacy continues through Fundacion Sansó, which continues to preserve his works, authenticate his art and support the next generation of Filipino artists and cultural workers through scholarships and programs that promote the arts.

McDo latte (I ask for less ice) is 👍. It’s sweetened already. But not all the branches have it.

Burger king’s salted caramel coffee is 👍 too. I ask for less ice.

If you want Starbucks, their latte is 👍. I ask for sugar and less ice.

I read that unsweetened latte or flat white is 👍. I haven’t found an espresso shop that has 👍 unsweetened latte or flat white. I may be so :) after tasting such a drink.

I’m not a veteran espresso drinker.

In 2016, Duterte’s drug war left 26,000 to 30,000 families, fatherless or husbandless. The wives and mothers of the killed victims are left trying to make ends meet for their families. The documentary follows three women named Maria after the bloodbath of Duterte’s drug war.

MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos may later be required to register their SIM (subscriber identity module) cards in person to make identity verification easier as the government finds ways to deter individuals from illegally selling their IDs for fraudulent activities.

New or Used.

Newly Wed and starting a family soon-ish, 1st time getting a car as well.

Any split keyboard owners here? They seem to be terribly expensive with very few choices. What's worth pruchasing for portability and quality? I currently own a Delux 920 Pro but that thing is bulky to travel with.

EDIT-06April2025: I bought a second Mistel MD770. AMA related to the keyboard.

Anyone here use Sync for Lemmy? This week it's so slow and has many errors for me. I went to the Sync community. I learned that other Sync users had issues too. The last update was March 2024. Had to download another app. :(

My 📱 is the Samsung a70. I picked Voyager.

Dam, son! Where’d you find this?

Nothing has come easily for Kansas City Chiefs kick returner Nikko Remigio. He spent all of last season on the practice squad and didn’t even have a space in the locker room; his locker was in the equipment room last season.

...

Speaking to reporters on Friday afternoon, Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said that beyond his work ethic, part of the reason Remigio has seen so much early success on punt returns is that he is still improving as a return man every week.

“During the regular season, he got better and better and better,” Toub remarked. “And now, in the playoffs, he’s really hitting his stride, and his confidence is high. And that’s what you want in a punt and kick returner is confidence.”

Along with his confidence, Toub said that he was impressed by Remigio’s tenacity.

Tenacity is a trademark of Filipino culture. When times get tough, you don’t just dwell on it, you keep fighting (or, “laban lang,” as they say in Tagalog, which translates to just fight).

Would like to see this model across the whole world! Local people are the backbone of any truly sustainable conservation plan.
