December 9, 2014December 9, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Using a hashtag is a helpful tool for different purposes. With it, you can see what’s trending online or what a lot of people are talking about in the cyberspace. In times of a typhoon, an official hashtag (like #RubyPH) is a useful way to stay updated with advisories from PAGASA as well as for the local media and government to monitor emergencies and people in need of rescuing. This is why it’s somewhat important that we, as netizens, make sure that we use it appropriately.

Thing is, we Filipinos sometimes couldn’t help but add a little humor to everything we do even during trying times like these. Here are 10 funny ways #RubyPH was not used for its purpose on social media.

1. Taking a selfie.

2. Posting your favorite food to eat during a storm.

3. No bath proclamation.

NBSB? No Bath Since Bagyo. XD #RubyPH

4. Wishing for suspension of classes.

Sana wala ng pasok hanggang friday #RubyPH — Shaymin (Sky) (@Val_Tenio) December 9, 2014

Hindi naman sa gusto namin ng suspension ayaw lang talaga namin mabasa at magkasakit #RubyPH — lhei paje (@07_lhei) December 9, 2014

5. Using the storm to try and score with your crush.

6. Taking a legs + socks photo. 7. Just to be “in”.

Nagkamali ang PAGASA sa pag-estimate ng eksaktong oras ng pag-landfall ni #RubyPH. Ganyan kahitap ma-fall, walang esksaktong oras. ???????? — Draz Vllrñ Santos (@DrazSantos) December 8, 2014

Lastly, here’s one tweet that we couldn’t find a category to put it in.

Philippines is subject to yet another supertyphoon, and our friends from Google and Globe Telecom and have a few tips to share to everyone so we could prepare as much as we can before we feel the wrath of typhoon Hagupit.

Typhoon Hagupit as of 8:46PM, December 4, 2014 (through earth.nullschool.net)

We’ve previously reported on Google Public Alerts that now warns Filipinos of upcoming typhoons. It not only does that but it also displays information about the storm as well as evacuation plans. This time, the crisis map for typhoon Hagupit has now been posted in addition to the main public alert page and ready to be viewed (just hit the links). Google Public Alerts is accessible through Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Now. Click here to know more about it.

On the other hand, Globe Telecom encourages us to charge our cellphones and other mobile devices in case we experience power shortages. The following are a few tips on how to conserve the battery life of our gadgets:

Log off or turn off unnecessary mobile apps or at least disable push notifications for nonessential apps
Turn off unnecessary radios such as GPS, blue tooth and Wi-Fi.
Switch off vibrate function and utilize ring tone instead.
Turn off sync function.
Dim LCD screens and shorten screen timeout
Minimize notifications and use phone only when necessary
Customers in areas identified in the path of Typhoon Hagupit should also make sure their respective lists of contacts are in order. Contact lists should include emergency numbers such as the nearest hospital
