Student stays in classroom to finish schoolwork because they don’t have electricity at home

The next time you feel like giving up on work, get inspired by this student.

Teacher Mark Pee Ortil Pornasdoro shared a now-viral photo yesterday showing one of his students doing homework inside their classroom beyond school hours.

The reason? The student doesn’t have electricity at home.

Pornasdoro, who teaches at the Malusak National High School in Atimonan, Quezon, shared that he was inspecting the classroom in preparation for the coming typhoon at around 7:30pm when he saw Grade 11 student Jeric Reyes inside.

According to the teacher, Reyes was the only one left in the classroom. The student was working on homework that was originally due at 5pm yesterday but Pornasdoro moved the deadline to the next day because classes were suspended.

While most students probably would have procrastinated, Reyes continued to work on his assignment.

Floyd Mayweather trying to gauge interest in whether the public has the stomach for 'The Money Fight II

Boxers are many things: They’re among the toughest people walking the planet. They can endure frightening amounts of pain. As a group, they’re magnificently conditioned. They’re also unusually sensitive with extraordinarily fragile egos.

That’s why it was predictable that as media and fan attention on the rematch for the middleweight title Saturday night in Las Vegas between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin reached a crescendo that Floyd Mayweather would do something to call attention to himself.

He did it in the wee hours of Saturday morning, posting a short video on Instagram of himself talking to Manny Pacquiao and writing that a rematch was soon to come.

FB accounts selling passport appointment slots shut down

MANILA, Philippines — Social media giant Facebook has shut down more than 1,000 pages and accounts offering or selling Philippine passport appointment slots, The STAR has learned.
Data from the Office of Public Diplomacy of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) showed that 1,024 Facebook pages and accounts were taken down since February for illegally offering passport appointment slots for a fee.

The DFA has intensified its efforts to curb fixing and scams in relation to passport application.
“Fixers and scammers engaging in fraudulent activities are punishable by law,” the DFA told one Twitter user who was offering slots.

“Violators will be prosecuted and barred from applying for passport. We will report you to designated authorities to penalize you because of your illegal activity,” it added.
The agency also urged the public to avoid having contact with fixers and report posts of people selling slots.

“If you encounter such cases, you must report it immediately. We are doing our best to report these to the designated authorities. You may give us a screenshot or link of particular parties who fix appointments,” it said.

“Appointments not made through http://passport.gov.ph are not legitimate appointments,” added the agency.

An entrapment operation was conducted earlier this year that resulted in the arrest of 20 people who were selling passport appointment slots.

The DFA said it has been implementing various programs to address the backlog in passport
 applications.

It recently rolled out an electronic payment system to address the backlog and the proliferation of individuals who sell appointment slots to applicants.

“It allows DFA consular offices to accommodate more passport applicants. By significantly cutting down the processing time, DFA consular offices will be able to accommodate more applicants with the same amount of available resources,” said the DFA on the ePayment system.

“It gets rid of fixers. Payment of the passport processing fee is a prerequisite before an applicant will be able to receive a confirmed appointment schedule. An applicant’s confirmed appointment schedule is non-transferrable,” it added.

Thousands of additional slots have also been opened in various consular offices nationwide.
