US And Philippines Open Annual Joint Military Exercise, Several Allies Expected To Join In
The United States and the Philippines formally opened this year’s edition of Balikatan (Exercise Balikatan 41-2026) which is their annual joint military exercise focused on readiness, unity and defense, according to a news report by GMA News. Several allied nations and seventeen thousand troops are expected to participate in the exercise which will have military drills across various parts of the Philippines.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…
The Philippines and the United States on Monday formally opened their annual joint Balikatan Exercise for this year, with 17,000 troops and several other countries expected to join.
“I hereby declare Exercise Balikatan 41-2026 officially open starting today,” AFP chief General Romeo Brawner Jr. said during the opening ceremony.
“Let this exercise not only demonstrate our readiness but affirm our commitment to stand together, to act together, and when necessary, defend together,” he added.
More than 17,000 troops from the Philippines, the United States, and partner nations including Australia, Canada, France, Japan, and New Zealand. At least 18 more countries are expected to serve as observers in the exercise.
The drills will be conducted across various parts of the Philippines from Luzon to Mindanao.
Balikatan 2026 will cover multiple domains such as air and missile defense, maritime security, live-fire exercises, and joint readiness operations.
The exercises will also include humanitarian and civic assistance programs such as building schools, supporting healthcare initiatives, and enhancing disaster preparedness in local communities.
Brawner said the expanded scope of the exercise reflects the evolving security environment.
Balikatan 2026 will be transformed from a bilateral activity between the Philippines and US into a multilateral effort aimed at improving interoperability and collective defense capabilities.
Brawner pointed out that the drills are anchored on respect for international law, national sovereignty, and the goal of promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think transforming this year’s Balilkatan from a bilateral US-Philippines activity into a multilateral effort makes sense? Considering the number of allies and soldiers expected to participate in the 2026 Balikatan, do you think Communist China will feel intimidated?

New Visas For Foreign Restaurant Workers Suspended By Japanese Government
Foreigners who planned to work in Japan’s restaurant sector will have to wait further or search for other new opportunities as the government of Japan officially suspended visas for foreign restaurant workers, according to a news report by Kyodo News.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News. Some parts in boldface…
The Japanese government is no longer issuing visas for foreign specified skilled workers in the restaurant sector as the quota of 50,000 has nearly been reached — the first restriction of its kind since the current limit was set.
The Immigration Services Agency of Japan suspended issuing certificates of eligibility for Type I Specified Skilled Worker visa applications received from Monday. The agency said that, according to preliminary data, the number of foreigners with Type I status working in the food service industry reached roughly 46,000 by the end of February.
It said that for applications received before Monday, certificates will be issued in order up to the quota limit.
In January 2026, the government decided to accept up to 805,700 individuals, expanded to 19 sectors, under the specified skilled worker program through March 2029, with the caps decided based on the degree of labor shortage in the respective fields.
“The food service industry was quicker to employ foreign skilled workers than in other sectors,” said an official at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
“However, there is room for debate as to whether efforts to secure domestic talent, a prerequisite of the system, are being carried out to the fullest extent,” said the official.
The Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act stipulates that the issuance of certificates of eligibility will be suspended if the number of foreign specified skilled workers is expected to exceed the quota.
The agency also said that, from Monday, requests from foreign skilled workers to switch to jobs in the food service industry are not being accepted in principle.
But technical interns who are already working in Japan and transitioning to a specified skilled worker visa in the sector will be given priority in the screening process, it said.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the suspension of visas for foreign restaurant workers will not be harmful to the Japanese restaurant owners/operators? Do you think labor shortage in Japan’s restaurant sector is bound to happen sooner than later?

Temporary Reduced Fees And Support For Port Clients Confirmed By SBMA
In response to the spiked fuel prices and other economic uncertainties, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) announced that it will temporarily offer reduced fees and provide financial support to its port clients.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from official announcement by the SBMA. Some parts in boldface…
The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) has temporarily taken measures to provide port clients with the much-needed financial support, amid the ongoing rise in fuel costs in the global market.
SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño explained that this is in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Executive Order No. 110, which immediately placed the entire country in a state of national energy emergency due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
Aliño added that such temporary measures aim to provide aid to industries affected by the Middle East crisis by ensuring that cost-stabilizing strategies for the transport and food sectors are implemented without delay.
“These initiatives, including reduced fees and extended free storage, provide a fiscal cushion to reinforce investor confidence and prevent supply chain bottlenecks,” said Aliño.
He also cited that key industry participants namely, importers, suppliers, consignees, vessel owners, and consumers, will experience the impact of these measures through their respective counterparts – terminal operators, cargo handlers, brokers, consolidators, processors, ship agents, and shipping lines, resulting in a cascading effect throughout the supply chain.
As part of this initiative, the SBMA will implement a five percent tariff reduction on all commercial vessels, including harbor fees, berthing fees/ anchorage fees, and harbor cleaning fees, as well as a five percent tariff reduction on cargo charges including wharfage fees, and storage fees.
“We will also implement a five percent tariff reduction on SBMA shares such as pilotage fee, hauling services, tugboat services, heavy equipment rental, line handling services, chandling services, water tendering, cargo handling for containerized cargo, and bunkering services,” he added.
Additionally, the SBMA is also offering free storage for non-containerized cargo, and free storage period for an additional 2-day extension.
To further aid port clients, the SBMA will temporarily suspend the collection of shares from terminal operators/cargo handlers for liquid bulk cargo handling and related activities; the implementation of the one percent admission fee for liquid bulk; and the implementation of the ten percent increase on cargo handling and miscellaneous charges of non-containerized/ general cargoes.
Chairman Aliño assured port stakeholders that these measures shall take effect immediately upon its approval and ratification by the SBMA Board of Directors, adding that these will remain in force until geopolitical tensions subside, at which point they shall be lifted via a formal issuance following Board approval.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think this new move by the SBMA will be sufficient enough for the port clients and keep economic activity in the freeport growing? Do you think the SBMA will have to further intensify its tourism activities to attract more high-spending tourists to bounce back from a potential economic downturn?

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The rivalry between Google and Nvidia is intensifying as the AI boom shifts from training models to running them efficiently for rapid answers. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang argues that its GPUs are more versatile, handling a wide range of applications, while Google is betting on its custom Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) specially tuned for inference workloads, which it expects to dominate as demand for fast, cost‑effective AI services grows. Google’s chief scientist Jeff Dean emphasizes the need to specialize chips for training or inference, and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis notes that many AI labs now prefer running on both Nvidia GPUs and Google TPUs, with interest in TPUs at an all‑time high. Analysts see inference as the next battleground, citing Google’s decade‑long experience in chip design and its Gemini model’s strong reasoning performance, while Nvidia has invested heavily in inference technology through acquisitions such as Groq. The competition reflects a broader industry shift toward specialized hardware that can deliver scalable, low‑latency AI services.

Il 28 febbraio, dopo che #USA e #Israele hanno dato il via alla guerra contro l’ #Iran, le autorità israeliane hanno chiuso i valichi di frontiera con Gaza, provocando un calo dell’80% nel numero di camion in entrata nella Striscia nelle prime tre settimane di guerra.
Le pressioni degli Stati Uniti hanno spinto Israele a riaprire i valichi nel corso delle settimane successive.
L’accesso agli aiuti, tuttavia, rimane ben al di sotto dei livelli previsti dall’accordo di cessate il fuoco.
Secondo i termini dell'accordo, ogni giorno avrebbero dovuto entrare a Gaza 600 camion di aiuti, coordinati dalle Nazioni Unite, da organizzazioni internazionali approvate, provenienti dal settore privato e dai paesi donatori. ⬇️6

Daily writing prompt How do you use social media? View all responsesI used to spend too much time on Farcebook just blindly scrolling and hoping not to catch a virus. Those days are behind me now.
I have accounts with Tik Tok and YouTube that I rarely get on. I never really learnt the ends and outs of Tik Tok so it sits idle. As for YouTube, I had been making videos but have removed most of them and now it also sits idle.
WordPress. My social media platform that has become a lifeline to keep in touch with some fantastic friends I have made since joining in 24′. I became a secluded self imposed hermit after the vid and slowly opened up to this wonderful world of engagement. I have found a family of courteous and like minded souls that can handle my rants and sometimes enjoy my silliness and off the wall thoughts.
It’s a welcome part of my life and my friends here encourage me to continue on my journey that started with not knowing what to say to publishing two books to my new endeavor of making music with the help of AI.
Does email count as social media? I use it to contact lost friends from here once in a while, to reach out and see if they are doing okay but that is rare too as I don’t want to pressure them into answering me, they left for a reason.
I have a cuz that follows me on here and that is our only contact as we live many miles apart and life gets in our way but I love hearing from him, ‘hey cuz, ROCK ON!’
So that’s about it for this prompt today, no pics or images, no major rants, just me and my roasted black bean syrup.

@lightbocks Good servers & Admin BUT...
Near-0 for organisation + deep 2-way chats - ALL servers almost 0.
Shallow 1-way posts of tech / cat pics = Not developing humans much.
Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't non-human stuff and never really building #trust or #participation or #relativity.
Nothing to do here but 1-way posting & hating #Trump / Musk.
Building trust + #relativity?
#Mastodon for spreading the bad crap here and not helping improve our own communication + feelings + actions?

building some #uncontrolled inputs in #solidjs
thinking in solidjs when coming from #react still feels a bit challenging sometimes. but when digging deeper, it's always a surprise, how much easier a pattern can be.
for example, building uncontrolled inputs in react is a nightmare, you have to write so much strange code around react's core principles (with ref, ...).
In solidjs, I can *just do it* in a vanilla-ish way. but going back to these patterns feels uncomfortable at first 😅#html #dev

Want to find which time period contains a #Python #Pandas datetime? Use to_period:
pd.Timestamp.now().to_period('1D')
pd.Timestamp.now().to_period('6W')
This returns a Pandas "Period" object, useful (among other things) for checking if two dates are within the same period.

🔎 Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis appears to have entered final development: a former lead narrative designer updated their profile on LinkedIn, listing the project as finished.
That usually means story and structure are locked and the game is moving into polish, but there's no official release yet, a tentative window is one and a half years. Layoffs and restructuring at Crystal Dynamics in 2025 make leaks less reliable. FANS...
