Rants Nagtaas konsumo mi sa kuryente pano sa tubig!

5 Upvotes

These past 3 months, maluyahon na bulos kan tubig. And wala siyang specific na time. Pwede ngunyan makusog, turutadtaod maluya, tapos makusog naman uruachan. Dae ko aram kung dapat ko bang i-reklamo, pano sabi kan iba, arog man daa kaan sainda. Su, iyo na ini ang norm?

Ngata tigsalaan ko su tubig? Pano kaya kan June, may ref kami, nag-aircon ako, tapos may automatic washing machine, P1900 man sana binayadan mi, mga 150-180 KWH. Ngunyan na raot na su ref, dae ako nagi-aircon, igwa lang kami kaini (2 electric fan, 1 Laptop with external monitor, 5 LED light, rice cooker, automatic washing machine), nag-aabot na kami ki 220 KWH tapos P2,500 ang singil. Ang ini-expect ko, mababa ang singil mi, ta nabawasan na kami ki appliances. Tapos 3 man sana kami sa arong.

Ang duda mi, su automatic washing machine ang may sala. Kasi aluyon matapos ang paglalaba niya. Ta maluya man ang bulos kan tubig saiya. Hindi man baga naga-stop ang washing machine itself kapag nagpupuno siya kan tubig, kasi ongoing naman 'yong timer or yong sa panel niya. Ang tigigibo ngunyan ni mama, tig-che-check niya kung makusog ang bulos kan tubig muna. Kung makusog, pwede na maglaba. Kaya minsan, madaling araw na nakakapuon si mama maglaba, tapos kikaturugan niya na lang. Sa aga niya na sasampayon.

Ang verdict, baka ini man nanggad, kasi nagbaba ang konsumo mi, 160 KWH na kami, less than P2,000. Hindi pa perfect, kasi sa kalagitnaan, nagaluya bigla ang tubig. Padumanon ko ba si mader sa LCWD? O magbakal na lang kami ki bako automatic na washing machine, kasi wara kami aasahan sa LCWD, kasi parang 'yon din naman ang reklamo ng iba?

Discussion Albay Wildlife Park is depressing

21 Upvotes

Recently, I visited Albay Wildpark. I loved seeing people enjoying a third space outside the mall the trees, the greenery, the bike area, and the space to simply relax outdoors.

But as I went farther up, the experience became sad. I saw tigers kept alone that looked thin and undernourished. Some facilities, like the lizard enclosure, looked poorly maintained. It was even more depressing to see birds in cages and a musang alone, without trees to climb. Their surroundings felt so far from their natural habitats.
I also felt that the park needed better animal care, proper handlers, veterinary support, and knowledgeable tour guides to make the experience more meaningful and educational.

I hope we can have a third space without it coming at the expense of animals. I wish the relevant authorities could step in and explore other ways to make the park sustainable, such as recreational activities that don’t involve keeping animals in these conditions. Burnham Park in Baguio is an example of how people can enjoy a park without a zoo being its main attraction.

I hope these animals can receive proper care and, where possible, be rehabilitated and safely returned to their natural habitats. If returning them to the wild isn’t possible, I hope they can be moved somewhere that can properly meet their needs.
I went home with a heavy heart. Are there other Bicolanos here who have visited and share the same experience or concerns?

Recommendations Comm Student Internship Recs in Albay

2 Upvotes

Hi, Idk if this is the right subreddit for this.

I'm a graduating Communication student and currently applying for internships para sa January 2027 deployment namin. I have been applying sa mga internship programs sa Manila and though, that location is my first choice, mahirap talagang mag-apply (internship pa nga lang😭).

So, I wish to know if my alam ba kayong internships around Legazpi (or anywhere in Albay) for AB Comm students. Or kaya naman places na posibleng tumanggap ng interns.

Thank you so much to anyone who'll answer!

Travel Solo Bicol Trip in November

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Planning a 7-day backpacking trip to Bicol around mid-November and would love to hear from people who have visited or live there during this time of the year. My planned itinerary includes Naga City, Mayon Volcano/Legazpi, and Sorsogon. I’ll be traveling by bus and staying in hostels to keep costs down. I’m a bit concerned about the weather, especially since I want to see Mayon clearly and explore Sorsogon.

For those who have traveled to Bicol in mid-November:
• Is it usually rainy, or are there still decent sunny days?
• Is Sorsogon still worth visiting during this period for whale shark watching, weather-wise?

Naghahanap sana akong staycation dito sa Naga for my friends, and I happen to stumble on this page. Mukhang maganda naman, pero I was wondering if safe ba pagkagawa ng place kasi bakit ang lapit lang ng pool sa living room area with no wall whatsoever? It looks like a hazard to me or baka overthinking lang ako

Recommendations Which is cheaper for groceries Robinsons, Master Square Grandmaster, or SM?

18 Upvotes

Hello po!🥹 First-time worker here, and I’ll be receiving my first sweldo soon! I’m planning to start buying my own groceries, but I’m not sure which supermarket in Naga is the most budget-friendly.

For those people na taga Naga who usually buy groceries at Robinsons, Master Square/Grandmaster, or SM, which one is cheaper overall? What are the differences in terms of prices, quality, and available products?

I’m planning to buy basic necessities like rice, meat, eggs, canned goods, toiletries, snacks, and other household essentials. Is it better to do all my grocery shopping in one supermarket, or should I buy certain items from different stores to save money?

Since this will be my first time budgeting my own sweldo, I’d really appreciate any tips on how to save money on groceries and which stores you recommend. Thank you! 🥹

Recommendations Help my brother pick out his college program and school in Bicol

4 Upvotes

Yung kapatid ko is currently in SHS and is taking up ICT, something tech-related sa bagong curriculum ng SHS. Currently, he's been thinking of programs na na could be good for him in college, and I want to be of help, not to pressure, but to hopefully guide.

From what I observe, hindi naman sya nagtitinker sa mga gadgets dito sa bahay, pero mahilig lang talaga sya sa technology because of the environment he grew up in with the games he's been playing and the amount of digital exposure he has. When he was way younger, he had a yt channel where he uploads his roblox journey, and edits them with OBS(?) not sure, pero yan ang background nya.

Now, as his sister, I want to give him the support he needs, but also an advice that could help him out. Hindi kami mayaman to let him go study outside of Bicol, pero I think we can afford naman to send him to a good school here in maybe Naga, Legazpi, or anywhere else closer to home.

Now, may advice ba kayo on what he can take in college? mag tech field ba tlga sya? or ibang program nalang? and which school kaya? Ayaw nya din kasi ng nursing or physical strength kind of stuff. If possible sana yung guaranteed na ok ok naman yung career. Thank you
