‘Save Cebu Movement’ launched
Political democracy is back in Cebu Province as the “Save Cebu Movement” was launched on Friday that will focus on feeding starving Cebuanos. This comes as Dr. Rowena Burden — a known philanthropist and political strategist — disclosed that she will challenge incumbent Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in the 2025 gubernatorial race. Burden stressed that the healthcare system of the province is so minimal that until now availability of “cottons” and medicines are needed by patients in district and provincial hospitals. “Since 2022, I’ve been contacted by a lot of constituents from the province for a host of problems such as health care, business, whatever, I am the sumbungan ng bayan,” Burden said. She also revealed that a group of businessmen had asked her to run for the position in 2022 against Garcia as she constantly called the governor out online. But Burden then told the group that she had no interest in the governorship and turned down the offer. “Being governor is not something that is actually an ambition for me. It’s local. Its scope of power is limited but I have to do it,” Burden said. “I’ve been offering a lot of Cebuanos. I ran the longest privately funded Yolanda relief. I ran the longest privately funded Bohol earthquake relief. Every day, I did more for Filipinos than any politician has ever done,” she added. Save Cebu Movement Coordinator Pamela Baricuatro, on the other hand, disclosed that while the province has been bragging on being the “richest” province, it has the highest poverty incidence in the country. The land properties of the province were pegged at P166 billion in 2022 and the Commission on Audit declared Cebu province as the richest in the country. “The province of Cebu tops the list of provinces with the highest magnitude of poor households,” Baricuatro said.

Modern cars are a data privacy ‘nightmare’ says study
The world's most popular car brands are a data "privacy nightmare," collecting and selling personal information in an age when driving is going increasingly digital, a study showed on Wednesday. The California-based Mozilla Foundation reviewed 25 car brands and said none of them fully satisfied its standards on privacy and that no other product category had ever received as poor a review, including makers of sex toys or mental health apps. "Modern cars are a privacy nightmare" at a time when "car makers have been bragging about their cars being 'computers on wheels'", said Mozilla, which is best known for its privacy-conscious Firefox web browser. "While we worried that our doorbells and watches that connect to the internet might be spying on us, car brands quietly entered the data business by turning their vehicles into powerful data-gobbling machines," Mozilla said. Tesla was the worst offender, according to the study, with Nissan coming in second and singled out for seeking some of the "creepiest categories" of data, including sexual activity. The study found that a staggering 84 percent of car brands admitted to sharing users' personal data with service providers, data brokers, and other undisclosed businesses. Most of them, 76 percent, said they sold on their customers' data and more than half said they share data with government and law enforcement on request. Today's connected vehicles not only mine data from driving, but track in-vehicle entertainment and third-party functions such as satellite radio or maps. An overwhelming majority of car brands, 92 percent, were found to provide users with little to no control over their personal data with only France's Renault and its Dacia brand allowing users the right to delete data, probably out of compliance with European Union law. Mozilla complained that none of the car brands - which also included Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Volkswagen, and BMW - would confirm they met the foundation's minimum security standards when 68 percent were subject to data leaks, hacks or breaches in the last three years.

From ball games to video games, GDLs push each other to be better
Juan Gomez de Liano is the best GDL - in terms of NBA 2K, that is. "I am the 2K god no doubt. Nobody can beat me," he said in The Prospects Pod where he was the guest alongside brothers Joe, Javi, and Jordi. "Si Javi, plays off (ang) fatigue e tapos si Joe, laging nagpe-press and it's really easy to break the press." And Jordi? "I'd say kami ni Jordi top two." When it comes to one-on-one on the basketball court itself, though, the playing field is pretty much level. Asked who wins the most in head-to-head ball games, Juan answered, "Sometimes me, sometimes Javi, sometimes Joe, pero si Jordi has a lot of work to do." Of course, bragging rights matter to brothers - especially if there are four of them. For the GDLs, though, their fire and desire to be better than one another is nothing but a good thing. "Our competitiveness makes us better. Our competitiveness raises up our game," Javi said. He then continued, "Example, when we lift weights, kami ni Joe and Juan, laging nagpapabigatan ng bench press, shoulder press. Hindi kami magpapatalo kung sino pinakamabigat magbuhat e." Yes, for the brothers-slash-proud products of the University of the Philippines, working out is a competition in itself. Again, that is nothing but a good thing. As Javi put it, "Iron sharpens iron e." That is also exactly why when it comes to pick up games, the GDLs apparently do not like being teammates. "Siyempre, whenever we play with each other, gusto naming magkalaban. Bwakaw kasi sila e," Joe said, with a laugh. He then continued, "Saka gusto namin (makita) who's the best sa amin. Ganun. Pero of course, we don't take it personally. We just wanna prove na 'O, I'm the best.'" In the end, having their constant challengers living with them under the same roof has, indeed, only gotten the best out of the brothers. "For me, it's just a blessing na every day, we motivate each other. Yung competitive nature namin sa bahay, ibang level talaga ever since we were kids e so we like to compete," Juan shared. He then continued, "We are never afraid of anything. All we wanna do is win." --- Follow this writer on Twitter, @riegogogo......»»
