DMCI are planning to build 29 more skyscrapers

MANILA - DMCI has released an artist rendition of what they plan to do behind Rizal Monument. "We are planning to build 29 more skyscrapers," said DMCI spokesperson Arnold Miranda to the media in a presser earlier today.

DMCI's Vision
"We plan to build a total of thirty skyscrapers behind the Rizal Monument. The city's skyline will be more magnificent than it already is," said Miranda. "The DMCI board understands that the monument has a sentimental value, but we have to advance with the times. Our emotions can't bar us from advancing economically."

Torre de Manila, the first building planned by DMCI, is already halfway finished according to Miranda. "After the construction of Torre de Manila, we plan to build 2 more next to it. A business hub and a shopping hub."

Public Backlash
The public took to social media to voice out their objection with DMCI's plans. "How dare they? Why would we let them taint one of our national treasures?" Bryan Allegro lashed out on DMCI through Twitter adding, "I'd rather we stay behind economically than lose the heart and soul of the country."

#StopDMCI trended for 2 hours worldwide before dwindling down to just the national level.

Minority Support
A minority, however, supports DMCI including many celebrities and politicians. Companies also expressed their approval with DMCI's plans to paint the skylines of Manila in yellow with the lights of the skyscrapers at night.

DMCI's plans are expected to come to fruition in late 2017 with all of the projects being finished by early 2021.

A sales lady in Mandaluyong was reportedly fired after calling a transgender "ma'am-sir."

MANDALUYONG - A sales lady for a popular mall in Mandaluyong was reportedly fired after calling a transgender "ma'am-sir."

The sales lady, who we'll call "Karen" as she refused to give her real name, got into a quarrel with a transgender in the popular Mandaluyong mall. The transgender, Adrian Gonzales, born male, was window shopping in the lady's footwear area when Karen called her attention.

According to Gonzales, it was in the Alexander Wang isle.

"Nag-lalakad ako, minding my own business, tapos tinawag ba naman niya (Karen) ako. 'Ma'am-sir, Alexander Wang. 50% off po.'" ("I was walking, minding my own business, then she (Karen) called for my attention. 'Ma'am-sir, Alexander Wang. 50% off.'")

"I was very offended. I've already transition from male to a female, then she'd (sic) disrespect me by calling me ma'am-sir? Where's the professionalism?" Gonzales filed a complaint against Karen who was then released from her post this afternoon after a mutual agreement with the mall.

Bystanders during the quarrel said that Gonzales immediately raised her voice at Karen and feinted slapping the security guard who was attempting to separate them from each other.

Netizens have already come in defense of Karen, who they think is the one being oppressed in the situation. One user from Twitter posted: "I don't know the entire story, but Karen seems to be the one being bullied, so I will side with her."

Gonzales, who made public comments about the mall on her Facebook account has since switched off her social network profiles including her Instagram and Twitter accounts to avoid "being bullied."
