Report Philippines Suspends Network Maintenance to Ensure Connectivity for May Elections
File photo for reference only In preparation for the upcoming May 12 elections, the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has mandated that all telecommunications companies and internet service providers halt major network repairs and maintenance across the Philippines from May 5 to 14. This directive, detailed in Memorandum Order No. 003-04-2025 from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), aims to ensure uninterrupted connectivity vital for election transparency. The NTC has instructed all Public Telecommunications Entities (PTEs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to complete necessary network work by May 3, with only emergency repairs allowed thereafter. DICT Secretary Henry Aguda emphasised the commitment to maintaining a robust digital infrastructure, reflecting the integrity expected from democratic processes. "Every signal sent, every message delivered, we want the Filipino people to feel secure knowing their voices are protected," said Aguda. The measure safeguards the transmission of precinct-level reports, allows families and first-time voters to track election results in real-time, and ensures no communication is lost during this pivotal event. While emergency repairs remain permissible, they will be governed by strict protocols. Providers must be on full operational alert, with personnel required to carry valid IDs, wear company uniforms, and use marked service vehicles. To uphold network reliability, the NTC collaborates with the Commission on Elections (Comelec), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to monitor and secure communications infrastructure. Additionally, Regional Election Monitoring Teams (REMTs) have been activated across all 16 NTC regional offices to oversee connectivity and support the electoral process.

Barron ain't American
Ditto for Donnie Jr and Ivanka. Though I think they escape the cutoff date. Need actual proof that Màiri Anna had her papers in order. Barron apparently converses exclusively with his mother in Slovenian. Its cool that he's bilingual (actually trilingual), but apparently he does this when his dad is about, and it hacks his father off. And he speaks English with an East European accent. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-infuriated-when-melania-and-barron-speak-slovenian-around-him/ar-AA1rQRVr -

Transferring visa extension stamp to new Passport - Chaeng Wattana
It is a pain and imo a flaw in the bureaucracy of stamp transfer. I need to travel with both pp as my reentry permit was issued at DMK and CW immigration won't touch it.
