GCash Security Scare: Rethinking the Safety of Digital Wallets

A few days ago, many people woke up to find unauthorized transactions in their GCash mobile wallets. These transactions, which occurred at a rate of Php 2,000 per transaction, even affected a local actress, drawing widespread attention.

This malware has an interesting...

With the Philippine elections coming very soon, One of the most colorful part this national exercise is the proliferation of Party Lists that have a great name recall.

This system allows national, regional, and sectoral parties or organizations to gain seats in the House based on the proportion of votes they receive. The goal of the party-list system is to ensure that marginalized and underrepresented sectors of society have a voice in the legislative process. Each party-list group represents specific sectors such as labor, farmers, women, youth, indigenous peoples, and other marginalized groups. Voters can choose a party-list group during el...
