I advised to them that they should not worry about it. They can include Naver search in the list of options, while not setting it as the default. This will help in making global users familiar with Naver search.
And with the declining quality of search results in both Google and Bing/DuckDuckGo/Ecosia, there is an opportunity for Naver search there.
From my own experience, Naver search's result for other languages is better today than a few years ago. If they can provide an English interface, there is a market for them globally.
Not good, yeah it has been a pain in the butt for many, especially those who are outside the Philippines and may have a SIM but failed in being able to provide a local address, DL etc ... for registration.
There are ways around 😉😉 (winkwink*) though, as he/ she knows 🤔👍🏻💯😁
Really not worth the security they say, and as you, the losses 😒😶🫥

OMG. How much were all the camping gears HyoYeon and Sunny brought in #NoWayHome (#노웨이홈) E01? HyoYeon also brought a fireproof cloth to protect the grass and avoid an accidental grass/forest fire. First time I saw one.
Once again, if you're not aware what's going on in the inappropriately named “South China Sea”, it has gone up another notch. Philippine men were recently injured because of China. Nations are backing up the Philippines; and China replied with “we are ready”.
@youronlyone > I read about it in the Manila Bulletin and 'how' the government is planning to address the situation.
🙏 I pray for a good outcome with this aggression by China.
It has already, ( as sure you know) been arbitrated in the World Court years ago, but China chooses to ignore the outcome rightfully in the Philippines' favor. 👍
News that will surprise precisely no one: Cillian Murphy wins the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in "Oppenheimer." IndieWire talked to the Irish actor about how he created the character.
@CultureDesk Oh! WoW; a fedora, lol 😋😋😮😂, but overall it was a well-made movie, reviewed by science critics for historical accuracy with few" made for Hollywood" scenes, and was deserving.👍
Here are some dating tips, nothing grand, but can be useful.
Know how to say “I love you” in the #Filipino language because we have two for romantic relationships.
“Mahal kita” = This is your “I love you” in English. It can be used romantically or for family and relatives.
mahal = ma (as in “mama”) + hal (as in ha + L) which means “love”
kita = ki (as in ‘ki’ in “kit”) + ta (as in ‘ta’ in “tank”) which means “you”
“Iniibig kita” = This can be translated into English as “I deeply love you” or “I deeply desire you” or both; and should only be used romantically. You could say it is a poetic way of saying “I love you”, however, it is more than that.
iniibig = i-ni-i-big (i = as in the sound of saying the letter “e” = iihh) which means “[deeply] love”
Understand what “mutual understanding” or “m.u.” is.
It's actually simple. “Mutual understanding” is that stage wherein two people are already comfortable with each other, but are still not officially dating. Usually, they do not know they like each other; however, there are those who choose it because they are not sure yet (especially permission from parents).
If the person you like decides to be in an M.U. relationship, don't take it negatively. It is a sign that they are considering dating you, just that, there are still things they need to settle on their end. Give them some time.
You need to clarify your relationship.
Never assume that you are dating. I've seen “couples” who never made it clear and later was shocked the other partner finally have a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. The surprised party felt “cheated” but in reality, no one cheated, they were never dating in the first place!
It is important to make your relationship clear.
Are you dating exclusively? “Exclusively”, meaning, there are no one else both parties are dating.
Or, are you in an “open relationship”? An “open relationship” is a relationship wherein you allow each other to have other dates.
Are you actually dating, M.U., or just friends?
Are you “officially” dating? “Officially”, meaning, both of your parents know (regardless if they agreed to it or not).
“PDA” or “Public Display of Affection”
This is publicly holding hands, hugging, kissing (cheeks, lips), being overly sweet with each other.
Filipinos are generally fine with it. If you don't like it, a Filipino date might misinterpret it as you not being proud of them. Thus, if it is not in your culture to show PDA, then make it clear with the Filipino you are dating, to avoid misunderstandings.
There are also some Filipinos who are not into PDA, so, you need to be open about it. And limits.
You are not just dating one person, you are dating the entire family.
Filipinos are family-centric. And when it comes to Filipino, be sure to treat their families well.
This is a good thing. If your partner is telling you what to do, it means they really want to date you.
That's just 5 when it comes to dating. Marriage proposal is a whole different matter. We have our own form “dowry”, although less practised today, it is still good to know, especially if the Filipino you want to marry is traditional. (They may not tell you anything because you're a foreigner, but deep inside they're expecting it.)
@youronlyone@pilipinas@pinoy .Yes sometimes people wonder why the other ( Filipina, Filipino) does something that seems strange. It may be as you say matter of her/ his family that brings this about! 😉👍😍
You bring forth some very good points, many do not think about when cultures differ! 👍
Family is everything, in a Filipino's life, coz when it all comes down. They may be the only ones they have to turn to, so don't disregard tor disrespect or you will LOSE!
@youronlyone@pilipinas@pinoy > They also are the buffer between your and her family a difficult position to be in sometimes. Don't make it harder on her!
@youronlyone@pilipinas@pinoy >Thank your reply, almost 28 years married to a Filipina. I still do not quite understand sometimes her actions when it comes to family but, she is BOSS and understand, trust her judgment. Just as we have talked about, the bridge for her. I am lucky we do have a good relationship as they know I try my best always to treat her well, and DO love her very much our three children born in the Philippines where we also married, in Mandaluyong. tc Godbless 🙏😊😉
@youronlyone@pilipinas@pinoy My wife has shown through action this deep family relationship and since mine was not close like this ( like many Westerners aren't) and a much deeper appreciation of family closeness and I admire and have become much closer to hers though we have lost several that we have buried. In some I have paid in all, or have helped to give them the funeral they deserve, especially her Mom and recently her father. 😊😉😍💯👍
A Filipino tradition.
Never thought about to eat ourselves, a good point 👍💯 Where Filipino tradition differs spiritually from other Asian countries, w/ ties to Christianity. Spirits don't need food.
She goes to Memorial Gardens on every relatives anniversary of passing and birthday.
Something very important to her, as they are still with us...
just in a 'better' place as I always tell her😊
It has become an event, (or events) that we plan for every year.
My wife cooks Pancit, her Mom's favorite always and make a day (outing of it) which makes her very happy and I have actually come to enjoy very much w/ the family together for the day, sort of like a picnic.
If you can picture that lol...😂 at the cemetery.... 😉😊🙏😍
( We have family plots in Taguig's Memorial Gardens) 😉👍
@youronlyone@pilipinas@pinoy Yes, it does overshadow the Holloween traditional celebrations though, my wife still puts up decorations for it, then ALL SAINTS Day off to the cemetery seems kind of hypocritical doesn't it ??? ... hehehe 😂😋😋😋😁
It's surprising, but fantastic, to see a mainstream media outlet in 2024 recommending wearing N95 masks, and guiding consumers on where to purchase them.
This is the kind of content we need to normalize the wearing of masks in the long-term!
@w7voa > After the accident with the offshore drilling installation HORIZON explosion and eventually went to the bottom of the Ocean, FEMA had a heck of a mess to clean up.
I hope this is properly handled as wildlife is at stake here. 🤔😟🥺
This Lunar New Year is particularly special for Chinese around the world as the dragon represents wisdom, good luck, and strength.
Perceived as a celestial and divine creature, the dragon has always played a significant role in Chinese culture, meaning many will be looking to have “dragon babies” during this period, which comes around once every 12 years.
I hate that being covid cautious is such a heavy burden, and that it wouldn't be nearly as difficult if everyone (or at least the majority) took part.
It's been so tiring; slowly recovering from burnout and depression, dealing with an increased workload in the office (burning out again...), and continually fighting for a permanent remote work accommodation, all the while staying away from family and friends who have given up on any mitigations. But this is viewed as being my fault, that I'm doing this to myself because I want to be isolated for some reason, or that I've become increasingly paranoid over something that "isn't really dangerous anymore".
Do they really think I want to live like this? Do they really think I enjoy not seeing family and friends? Granted I wasn't very outgoing pre-covid, but I'd love to be able to go out without a mask, meet up with others and not be afraid of disability and death.
I didn't choose this life, it was thrust upon me by a society that is unwilling and/or unable to accept the terrifying truth that an airborne virus is ripping through their lives while they continue to catch and spread it over and over and over again.
@croissant@corvax > Why I said deniers not political affiliation. Some of both sides don't want to take responsibility for themselves, much less others ..sad 😒🥺Thanks your reply
