A bit unrelated and assuming this “free multiplayer weekend” promo is over: I don’t have a PS4 yet, but I assume it supports multiple user accounts same as the PS3? My account has PS+, but my brother’s does not. If we both have accounts on the same PS4, will my brother be able to play multiplayer from his account?

Are you employed? Many employers will provide health insurance. If your employer doesn’t you might want to find one that does.
You can also apply to Philhealth even if you’re not employed (you’ll have to make contributions manually)
You should also be able to apply with private insurance groups for personal coverage (again, you’ll have to make the contributions yourself). The only ones I’ve tried are Intellicare and Medocare.
It is bad not to have health insurance if you are accident prone, or your family has a history of hereditary illnesses, or you are growing older (in your 30s maybe, but I would recommend getting health insurance as soon as possible)
Even if it’s not something serious like cancer or a stroke, diagnostic procedures can cost as much as 10k-30k or more, so having insurance to cover some or all of that definitely helps.

Yeap. Well, you could always just try making a fan project and hope and pray that they don’t shut it down.
For contacting someone at EA, going through the regular channels like customer support or marketing/sales isn’t going to cut it; that’s not how deals are made, with their staff entertaining random proposals from people on the internet. The only way to get traction is to find someone on the inside who will listen to you - probably through game dev industry contacts or such. If you already have the capacity, I would suggest just making your own game first (maybe “inspired” by lands of lore, but not ripping it off directly) and hope that leads into a future path that might eventually get you where you want.
-
The fact that you knew you needed to contact EA means you already know the answer - you need permission from the current rightsholder

Ew, banding

Datablitz doesn’t have used games but that doesn’t mean the market doesn’t exist. There are shops in greenhills that will buy and sell used games. iTech also sells some used PS3 games, not sure if they will buy them off you as well.

I’ve often read that our country has the second-highest cost of electricity in Asia (or are we the highest already?) Has there been any study or analysis conducted and published that provides a breakdown of why we have such high costs? Is it solely due to Ramos-era expensive IPP contracts? If so, how long until we can get out of these contracts? Can we renegotiate them somehow, or at least the provisions that are disadvantageous to the government/public? Or are we overpaying for some other components such as labor, fuel, components, maintenance, distribution, etc costs? Are our power plants more expensive? Can we compare cost breakdowns with our neighbors to find out? I would think that if you were a newly-elected President appointing a secretary to the Department of Energy the first two things you would ask for would be (a) an analysis like the questions above need; and (b) a list of proposals to drive down energy costs. But I don’t recall Erap, Gloria or PNoy coming out with any such analysis or plans. (Aside from the WESM which doesn’t appear to have been successful in driving down prices) Anyone on my feed have more knowledge on this topic, anyone involved in the national power generation and distribution systems (wala ba mga EE diyan lol)?

It’s actually around $166 more expensive. I remember getting my first PS3 around the same price.
