Affordable Treats: A Yummy Find at our Favorite Pizza Shop!🍕

lj1728 — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 04:23:00 GMT

A Pleasant and Beautiful Day to everyone!🤗🌸💖

Hello to all of my friends here and of course to all my dear fellow hivers in this lovely @hiveph community!😍

How are you all today? I hope everyone is doing well and happy right now. This is me again @lj1728 and I am happy to share in this community my simple life story with you all.💕

I want to share one of my fave pizza shops that has recently become one of my go-to places whenever I am craving something delicious and affordable and it is the “Pizza Haus”. We have been buying their pizza for quite some time now, and it has always been one of our family favorites. Their pizza is tasty, filling, and perfect for sharing at home, especially during lazy days or simple family meals.

Recently, I discovered that they also sell different kinds of bread and cookies and they also have their mini pizza bread and I could not resist trying them. I bought their cookies and I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. They have different flavors to choose from, so there is always something new to try. What I really like is that the cookies are not overly sweet. The sweetness is just right! Which is perfect fo a thirty-something girly like me who still loves sweet treats but does not want something too sugary.

Aside from the cookies, their bread is also worth trying. It is soft, flavorful, and perfect for a quick snack whenever I feel hungry during the day. I also tried their mini pizza bread and I enjoyed them as well. They are the kind of treats that go perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea during a relaxing afternoon.

Another thing I appreciate about this shop is that their prices are affordable. You can enjoy pizza, bread, cookies, and other sweet treats without spending too much. It is always nice to discover a place that offers good food at budget-friendly prices.

And that’s it for today’s blog! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my simple life story. This means a lot to me. I hope to see you on my next one. Have a nice day ahead to all of us!☺️💕

After a While, Back Home: A Little Cleanup in an Afternoon Glow 🍀

jessmcwhite — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 22:24:27 GMT

Hey guys, it's Jess again and this time let me tour you around in our soon to be new home.

It's been a while, we we're not able to visit our new house far away from where we are currently living due to so many activities in school and my parents they're kind of busy looking for work to provide for our basic needs. As you can, there are a lot of bamboo and that's where we begin our walk, it was around 3pm in the afternoon and I love the heat it's quiet stunning 😍

Now, I have decided to finally visit our house together with my brother John Kyle and sister Vanessa. I brought this Prapagayo flower to plant in front of our house. One more thing, we we're already told by our grandmother to leave their house as soon as possible because by November they're going to re-construct this house and so we we're kind of worried for all the materials and expenses that we needed to put for our comfort room and kitchen to finish.

While we we're on our way, I saw this beautiful coconut trees and decided to took a picture in 0.6 zoom multipliers and see the results, isn't beautiful? yes indeed, it amazes me!

Upon arriving in our house, this was the part in the kitchen that wasn't done yet and we're looking forward to finish it as soon as possible we're still praying for financial provision that would help us to finish this.

Our main goal is just to visit, to check if all other materials we're still available however, I saw the surroundings with all the weeds in the area that need to be cleared away so together with my sister and brother we helped each other cleared the area.

See video draft here of our behind the scene action..

See the results in front of the house, this is where some Prapagayo that my mother planted had grown now and I cleaned it's pace and now it's visible.

After almost 1.5 hours we're done, and I am quiet tired and we decided to rest and after that we headed home. I am glad for today's journey, I was reminded again that there's a brighter side in our daily life, I've been desperate too on previous weeks because of the situation of our house but I put my trust in the Lord that in His perfect timing, He will provide!

A Little Life Update: Free Samples, Small Wins, and Growing Trust

leighdalisay — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 19:14:12 GMT

Hello, Hive Friends all over the world!

Yesterday, I received a parcel from TikTok Shop: Hapee Toothpaste Sulit Double Pack. The seller actually reached out to me beforehand and asked if it was okay to send me a free sample. Of course, I said yes and I feel so lucky to be trusted with their product.

This isn’t the first time I’ve received free samples. Even though I don’t have hundreds of thousands of followers, some sellers still choose to collaborate with me. That means a lot. It shows that you don’t always need a massive following to be noticed. Sometimes, consistency and authenticity are enough for brands to take a chance on you.

I’ll see how I can feature this toothpaste in my content soon. For now, I just wanted to share this little update with you all. Small wins like this remind me that growth doesn’t always happen in big leaps; sometimes it’s in these small, unexpected opportunities.

COLLEGE DIARIES: A memorable bench cheering competition

riona09 — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 08:40:42 GMT

Good day, dear hivers! It's @riona09 again, back with another blog! Today's blog marks my official era as a college student and that is joining a competition to represent my college department, the bench cheering competition! I will be sharing to you guys how unexpected, tiring and fulfilling this was.

PRACTICE MOMENTS

Even before our bridging days, our sophomore tutors already informed us about the bench cheering and how big the pressure we hold, without us knowing, because the College of Engineering has a 4 peat winning streak and our only mission was to do our best to defend the crown.

Honestly, I know to myself that this kind of competition wasn't my thing. We were told that only 250 participants from freshmen will be able to join the competition and the rest would be put as props man or food committee. Me and my friends decided to be one of those food committee but destiny has other plans.

Just as we were heading to the practice venue, we accidentally lined up in bench cheering participants' lane because we got confused and that's where everything started. Funny how we didn't even backed out at first 😅.

Before we knew it, we were already memorizing the lyrics of the yell. Later on, we added some dance moves to it. As we kept on practicing, we already memorized everything and then comes the props which gave us a little struggle but as the time passes by, we got use to it.

Finally, we've had our last and final practice, the day before the competition. We really practiced so hard that time to the point it's already dark and pass seven o'clock. It was a very tiring journey but we know to ourselves it'll be worth it.

COMPETITION DAY

Our competition was scheduled 7:30 in the evening, following the mr. and ms. intramurals. During the daytime, all we did was to condition our bodies by attending the fun run organized by the sslg of our university and then goes back home to have some rest. It was literally a very funny run because the theme was wrong outfit so everyone has their entries.

By 1:00 pm, we headed to school to have our final blocking and afterwards we work on our attires and appearances. We painted our hands white, just like what we agreed on. We also sprayed white color on our hair because there was a last minute change of decision by our Governor regarding the removal of our headdress.

A morning full of cravings with this fresh buko juice in Tagbilaran City☺️

clarabels — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 04:45:30 GMT

Hello everyone how are you I hope you're all well Happy Friday 😊 especially to the active members of @hiveph it's me again @clarabels.
Earlier this morning, my husband and I went to Tagbilaran City to do some grocery shopping with our toddler, Baby Naiah. On our way home, we passed by a coconut stall. it was small, but the spot was shaded by a large acacia tree. We decided to stop briefly to try the fresh coconut juice, as both my husband and I were craving it.

As we approached the coconut stall, we noticed the seller's massive stock of coconuts they are well-known here in Tagbilaran as a supplier of fresh coconuts. 😊 They also sell firewood for residents who want to save on LPG costs.

So my husband immediately ordered a young coconut for your coconut juice, and we were glad that, regardless of the crowd, they still attended to us and let us go to the front of the line because we had a toddler with us who was asleep on my husband's shoulder.

From cracking, down to mixing the milk in and adding the coconut meat, it was incredibly refreshing.☺️ My husband and I were very satisfied when as we tasted the coconut juice And The stall's ambiance was also great it is located by the roadside and stays cool thanks to the shade from the large acacia tree.

And of course, there are also snacks that pair perfectly with the young coconut juice, their stall offers local treats like binangkal and homemade ube-flavored hopia.

Cravings or snacks are even more perfect when shared with a loved ones. Here is a photo of my husband and me enjoying some local snacks and satisfying our cravings for buko juice. Hehe.

And that is for now. I would like to say Thankyou so much for taking time reading my humble blog.this really means a lot to me and see you on my next blog buh-bye 🙂

Announcement: Bonus Delegation Rewards for Hivephilippines

hiveph — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 04:48:51 GMT

This is a follow up post from this previous announcement.

The Changes:

@hiveph account delegates to @hivephilippines account and it's delegation rewards will go into the pool sent to @hivephtips.

@hivephtips will receive all the Hive rewards sent from Hive Engine token rewards + hiveph delegation rewards for delegating to hivephilippines. This means an increase incentives for those already delegating to @hivephilippines monthly.

The catch

There's no exact date the rewards will be released each month as the only requirement to be eligible is having your delegations be at least 7 days old. This is to prevent users from "timing" their delegations to get a piece of the pot and then undelegating.

How much Hive rewards would the delegators be earning now that these changes will be implemented? from an estimate as of the recent monthly reports, it's more or less double than what @hivephtips is distributing to delegators right now.

Why the changes? to improve the distribution of community rewards. If you have questions about how hiveph/hivephilippines curate, you can run the /profile function on discord to check the stats and the compilation posts on how the stake is being used. This is to support Filipinos on Hive and HivePH members (Filipino or not on the platform).

How can the community increase the rewards?

Delegated more, support the hiveph account, include it on your beneficiary for your posts voluntarily. Portion of the funds the community collects gets used to buy HE tokens or allocated to future charities. The more hiveph account accumulates HP, the more HP it can delegate to hivephilippines.

There are no plans to create a community token for HivePH.

Delegating to Hivephilippines doesn't mean you get an autovote nor does this community owe you anything for delegating.

HivePH Update: More Incentives for Delegators

hiveph — Sat, 15 Jun 2024 04:22:06 GMT

![](https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hiveph/23u5xwPmSrXUY8eedjf8L2BBCpXoFdVfziQusJQfATgqkoXZcnZaTkpCKDX6WUYqibtXZ.png)

TL:DR You get more delegation rewards based on the proportion of delegations you make to the @hivephilippines account. You'll receive these rewards from the @hivephtips account.

As previously announced here

The distribution will be in proportion to how much you're delegating to @hivephilippines and only accounts that have delegated beyond 7 days are eligible. Each month, we use a portion of the funds generated by the community account on Hive Engine Tokens and our holdings have generated some consistent rewards which will be shared to the rest of the community members that are part of building this community up. This isn't as effective as owning the Hive Engine tokens yourselves but in a way, your HP delegated gives you a piece of the liquid Hive rewards from these tokens.

IMPORTANT:

It takes at least 7 days after delegating to make your account eligible for these rewards.

How often will these distribution take place?

At least once a month. We're not really talking about a large amount of Hive collected here so it's easy to miss. The value grows if we get to stack more Hive Engine tokens, people voting on @hiveph posts, delegating to @hivephilippines and even setting hiveph / hivephilippines as beneficiary to your posts for donations.

The goal is to keep growing the sources of income to offset the costs of delegating and even have a surplus of rewards.

Another important reminder:

This will never be overstated enough but voteme privileges are still privileges and not a right. Anyone whoever feels entitled to the votes should reexamine why delegators are willing to let their HP be borrowed to distribute the votes.

It doesn't matter if the post isn't quality content, whatever that means. As long as it's not spam, plagiarized, AI generated and within the guidelines of voteme usage, it's fine. We're not looking to support elite bloggers and try to keep our resources be available for almost everyone that's willing to be part of the community.

For those members and non-members that feel sour or entitled to the votes, especially the ones that aren't even delegating but cashing out more. For whatever life circumstances you find yourself into that prompts you to powerdown, that's your money and your business. We respect that choice and you do you.

Just don't think like you've been wronged by people who chose to keep their Hive staked and delegated to the community accounts because these delegators are the reason why some can sustain their cashing out habits. I mean, whales, orcas, dolphins and minnows in the Hive ecosystem retain their status as that based on their HP because they don't powerdown. And because of this choice, their stake can sometimes be used to vote on people that have no interest in building on their own accounts.

Like I said earlier, whatever you do with your money is your business but don't ever think that this community or anyone who chooses to stake their HP ever owes you a vote if your whole modus was only extracting as much value as you can without paying the favor forward. There's a reason why 50/50 is set where author rewards can be in HBD and HP. The HP can remain staked while you can cash out with the HBD in balance.

Recent Changes in the HivePH Curation and Value Distribution

hiveph — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 13:15:09 GMT

A long winded posts that summarizes the other rant posts I've shared in recent days.

And because we're a Filipino based community, it gives the wrong impression that it's exclusive to Filipinos, it's not. Anyone that really wants to be part of the community can just hang out at the server, get active, make friends, and then have those friends vouch for them to get a membership. It's peer to peer reviews like this that most don't past the screening test to see if they are are good fit for the group culture.

Making friends with the other members is the bare minimum and if you fail at that, you're unlikely going to be invested in what this community will be up to moving forward.

A recurring controversial theme is the use of the #voteme channel, it's a channel where members can trigger the @hivephilippines account to vote on them and other users using a preset vote weights based on their server roles. It currently uses a Merit-Based Voting system where members who do more for the community get more % weights rather than a Stake-based voting where if one delegates more they get more. Voteme privileges are a side perk and never a guarantee while being part of the community. The system was in placed to distribute wealth to new users or users that have less resources from users that have plenty to spare. This let's newbies get a better start at the platform because they aren't expected to delegate anything (no one is) to @hivephilippines just to use it. It's support handed out by community members that want to pay it forward.

It's also constantly monitored to avoid any sense of entitlement. As much as possible, voting % weights are being balanced depending on users usage. If there is more demand for the vote and less voting power to go around, decreasing the weights % helps ensure votes are delivered to as many users as possible. If there is less demand for the votes, the voting % are raised so that the few that use it get more. This system helps give a stable return to delegators.

This can't be stressed enough, delegating to the account does not automatically mean access, we're not a delegate for upvote service. Yet sometimes the message gets lost with some sense of entitlement.

Below is the data for the last 30 days of @hivephilippines voting profile. Frequency means how many times the top 10 accounts were voted. Note that this doesn't give us the value in $ because it only shows the number of times the accounts were voted. One vote at 1% and another vote of 50% in a different occasion can just look like 2 on the frequency counter.

What we need is pairing up with percentage

These shows the top accounts with the largest vote weights. When paired with the frequency numbers above, it adds confirmation of who has benefitted the most from the last 30 days. For users like @juanvegetarian, you can see that he's not on the top 10 when it comes to getting upvoted but because his voting weights are large, he still gets more value out of it even if he posts less. There's no % that says one is benefitting too much because that is arbitrary. Even if one has 30% on their total percentage count, that doesn't mean it's significant if the account voting only has 100 HP, but it is alarmingly greedy if the account doing the voting has a 100,000 HP. So using this metric requires more context before jumping into conclusions.

Managing the voteme channel is negotiating with the age old Supply and Demand, the supply is the votes and the demand comes from users. While our voting power recharges constantly after use, it's not an infinite resource because voting at 100% decreasing your total voting power to 2%, and that 2% recharges fully every 2.4 hours. We only have 24 hours in a day so that means there will be times when it dips below the threshold that no votes can be handed out when there are more users triggering the vote.

A soft indicator I use to gauge an oversupply and low demand is when my own percentage in the @hivephilippines increases and makes it to top 10, the account automatically votes on my account once it gets past 98% VP, and since I've been posting regularly while the VP sits at above 98%, this meant I need increase the voting weights of other users so that my account doesn't get voted by this account.

Stake-based Privileges versus Merit Based Privileges

hiveph — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 19:41:12 GMT

Determining what is a fair model that's close to distributing wealth to users based on the core principles why the stake was built by the community from the start.

What if we have a community where everyone pitched in some piece of their resources to support others on the platform? That's great, this gives more incentives to those newbies to grow their accounts and those that have more can help out even without any direct active involvement, their HP can indirectly impact others.

Now the problem is how to distribute the wealth better with the fancy tipping system, there are two approaches here when it comes to implementing voteme privileges:

Stake-based privileges versus Merit Based Privileges

Now as much as I like the stake-based voting privileges because it follow the natural flow of give more so you can get more directly from your HP delegated, this also means more competition for the limited voting power for members that don't delegate or have little HP to offer for the community. That means for users that are new, haven't built their stake or chronically powering down, they get a reduced voting percentage compared to those that can offer more.

This may look fair but the account isn't setup to be a guaranteed self-vote, the function is a side perk privilege and meant to be used for people that can benefit the growth the most. For users that had spent more than half a year but still haven't built their own stake, you're missing the point if you think your tenure on the platform means anything. You could be existing on the platform without ever involving yourself with the community, yet have this thinking like the support is just freely handed because you exist. Stake-based voting privileges benefits those who give more and and get more but it squeezes out the smaller users of the community.

Merit-based voting privileges is the current system implemented. If you do more for the community, you get rewarded more, despite not giving any delegations because none of that is a requirement, by being peer reviewed as a member by others, you earned that access from community acceptance and you can raise the perks from getting more involved with the community.

The cons of this system is that not every engagement automatically means value is being added to the community. One can just be active without doing actually doing anything significant. One can be triggering the voting privileges on others but it's just a repeating cycle on the same names or small circle group. These behaviors aren't really beneficial for community growth overall. The point was to spread the benefits and invest on individuals that are interested in growing their accounts on Hive while being of help to others.

The exclusion criteria is includes users that have existed for a long time but still refused to get involved, users that chronically cash out more than they reinvest into the platform, users that have a barren section on the comments, users that don't really want to be involved with this community's vision and others.

Whatever resources people earn from the platform is their choice on what they want to do with it, cash out, support someone, reinvest and etc. But depending on these behaviors and their long term outcomes are the basis on which users end up being dead weights, excess baggage, value leaks or extractors, by all means you're entitled to do whatever you want with what you have but don't guilt trip this community into thinking you're entitled to get supported for existing.

Anyone can check the /profile command on hivephilippines and see the voting track record there. The diversity of names is being monitored and so as the voteme channel usage. If you think there is some bias about some names being favored, you can just hit me up at #iron-cage and we'll talk it out as a community because transparency reasons.

Adjusting the voting powers

Any delegator who feels like this is unjust can take out their delegations from the community anytime. Nobody is obligated to support the community account and you'll be doing us a favor by reducing that sense of entitlement you feel. The fact that HivePH has been generous at supporting people who are new and users that have been around is already something.

In other curation communities, you're expected to provide some quality content posts because that's the ideal way to get some rewards. Here, I understand not everyone can create good content but you can still try your best to make a post and get some small rewards for your trouble. I know this fact gets taken for granted because most would be chasing those big votes, even if sporadic, unpredictable and maybe part of the system includes luck, they'll be chasing for things that aren't guaranteed.

HivePH: Power By Bayanihan

hiveph — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:09:06 GMT

![maharlika3.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/hiveph/AJefvvQArjrZL884YMMoLYkzh5gaRfAweQuLcyRWbgRoDzbxKTwBRfTXz7jxVmN.png)

The direction HivePH is heading is shaped by the quality of community members that make it up. The greatest asset any organization has is its human resources. You can install multiple systems that serve its people but the outcomes would still depend on what the people do with those given resources. So if the organization is run by people who value self-interest more than the group’s well-being, you’ll get a community that eventually fade into irrelevance.

Giving people more money was never a long term answer. It’s one of the first hard lessons learned when it comes to community building on Web3. If people come together for money, more of it isn’t going to solve the problem, it will keep the group together until the well dries up. We’ve seen this happen for the past few years on the blockchain where new names come and go during bear and bull runs. I’d like to think HivePH is beyond that. But it’s naïve to think people got convinced to join web3 without being offered by those social rewards.

The health approach is creating a culture where we are a community on Web3 that happens to earn monetary rewards getting involved on Hive. Instead of we’re a community centered on maximizing those social rewards.

The measure of one’s individual success in being integrated into HivePH is when they are gone, someone organically makes a query of where have they been? Because if no one ever asks how you’re doing despite your long absence, then that just means no one in the community has any good ties with you to care enough.

The misconception Filipinos have when they enter the HivePH server or get involved with HivePH is getting support in the form of votes just because they exist. Everyone goes through a trial where candidates for membership are peer reviewed by other existing members to see if they are a good fit for the group culture. This means everyone has to start 0 and make friends with more people in the community. It’s not benefits handed readily, you have to get to know the community and interact with its culture to see if you can belong. Now if your attitudes just don’t align with the group culture, you’re out.

Members have the individual responsibility to screen candidates they want in. Another misconception is how these memberships are dictated by staff, they’re mostly not. 1 Staff voting is still 1 vote for OR against the membership. It’s hard to earn the membership and even harder to earn it again once lost. The part where strangers don’t get when it comes to HivePH culture is how closely-knit the group is. Once you’re in, it’s easier to ask for favors because that membership to “Hayahay” is a badge that says other members have deemed you good for the community and therefore have less reasons not to help.

Bayanihan is the local term for integrating a sense of community spirit. You can have a conceptual meaning like helping community members out when they are in need for this and that. But operationally speaking, if one HivePH member asks for support over something during times of distress, they can expect more than half of the time other members will take initiative to step up and help for their sake as long as the request is reasonable.

Bayanihan is one concept the community tries to integrate without the pitfalls of being too giving as a community. There have been many ingrates and do shitters in the past so more stress on how members are screened gets emphasized. We’re looking for people who can believe in the same things and use the systems in place to do more for others beyond their Hive routine. Those monthly reports on how we use the funds we collect from delegators, blogging contests, events, and other incentives in place. Those are the things that we do to bring in value into the community.

Because where else can you find a Filipino-based community where you get the network, resources and people’s precious time to help you get started just from the onboarding? Staff members and members that do more for others do not earn any monetary rewards for helping out new users. It’s all handed freely. We got a channel where helpful guides are compiled.

We share the resources that can help new users thrive and earn and this costs only a new user’s precious time to attend the webinars we host. No downpayments, no invest here talks, no paid tutorials for Hive, no guilt trips for beneficiary cuts on your posts, or get coerced to join the community right after onboarding.
