Mga fresh updates tungkol sa internet at tech scene natin. Here's what's been happening:

• Messenger website magshu-shut down na by April 2026 — so if gamit mo pa yung desktop version sa browser, better migrate na sa app. Pero matagal pa naman, don't panic haha.
• Freedom House nag-release ng 2025 country report natin about internet freedom — worth checking out kung curious ka sa state ng online rights dito sa PH.
• BSP gusto gamitin yung satellite internet para mapalakas yung digital payments nationwide, especially sa areas na mahina ang connectivity. Maganda to kung matuloy.
• World Bank naglabas din ng report about digital transformation sa Pilipinas — main takeaway? Kailangan pa rin talaga ng better internet infrastructure.
• Bloomberg feature about POGOs and online gambling sa bansa — heavy read pero relevant, lalo na sa ongoing debates about regulation.
• Johns Hopkins study about e-marketing at yung "vapedemic" dito — online ads daw isa sa main drivers ng rise ng vaping among Filipinos.
• Throwback piece from Inquirer about how PH got connected to the internet 32 years ago — nostalgic read kung interested ka sa tech history natin.

Ano sa inyo yung pinaka-interesting na item? May nararamdaman ba kayo na nag-iba sa internet experience nyo lately? Drop your thoughts below!
