MANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill that lets women keep their maiden name even after marriage.

Voting 227-0, the House approved House Bill No. 10459 which seeks to amend the New Civil Code of the Philippines to clarify that married women can continue using their maiden name.

“This is no small feat for women,” said Rep. Arlene Brosas (Gabriela party-list) who co-authored the bill. “In fact, this is a welcome development in recognizing the legal identity of women apart from their spouse.”

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again.

Mitch McConnel, Is It Hot Where You Are?

It turns out ole' Mitch is in a tight spot, and the GOP are doing everything they can to avoid having to run a special election to replace him, fearing that a certain Thomas Massie might decide to run. So they're pulling out all the stops to make it sound that he's not so far gone that they're legally required to do it.

https://leavingmaga.org/ Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA nation for seven years; it made me feel I was part of something important: a movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths
