Ragnarok Journey Philippines servers to close down on May 31

The browser-based MMORPG, Ragnarok Journey, has come to its end as they announced the closing of its servers soon.

Launched for more than one year already, the Ragnarok Journey Philippines came from the iconic Ragnarok game franchise that a lot of Filipinos even play today. This game, however, is a browser-based MMORPG which means that players don’t have to download the client to enjoy playing it.

Based on their Facebook post, the Philippine servers will close on May 31, 2019, but players can convert their GEMs (cash currency) in the Warpportal platform into another game’s in-game currency.

Lawyer, Congress bet: Redistricting needed for Cebu

CEBU CITY, Philippines — A reassignment of districts might be necessary for Cebu province.

This was the sentiment of lawyer Baldomero Estenzo, a candidate for Representative of Cebu’s sixth district, as Mandaue City is set to become a lone district.

Estenzo, a former dean of the College of Law of the University of Cebu, said a reassignment of districts might be necessary in order not to leave behind in terms of progress the towns of Cordova and Consolacion.

The two towns, which are geographically separated by the cities of Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue, will be the only remaining towns in the sixth district once Mandaue City’s transition to being a lone district will be finished.

“If Mandaue City will become a lone district already, what will happen to Cordova and Consolacion? Maybe we should look at the entire province,” Estenzo said in a press conference on Thursday, May 2.

Estenzo, however, admitted that it will still take a long time to reassign the districts of the local government units.

Estenzo, a resident of Mandaue City, is vying for the 6th district seat in the House of Representatives against former Mandaue City councilor Emmarie Ouano-Dizon./dbs
