Basically, the page is a place where all things between pairs of Facebook friends were brought together. It tells the story of the first Wall post to one another or sharing the funny photo from a night out. It reflects the pair’s friendship.

Where is Friendship page?

To view the friendship page, you can see it from links under relevant Wall posts, under relationship stories, and under the main photo on a friend’s profile page.

According to Philippine Star, The Department of Education (DepED) is officially on Twitter. Here’s the article:

The Department of Education (DepEd) has set up its own Twitter account where it can post announcements, especially regarding class suspension during typhoons.

Cristina Ganzon, DepEd Communications Unit director, said that by using Twitter, they hope to make it easier for students and parents to find out the latest DepEd bulletins on class suspensions and other important announcements on various policies and programs of the department.

“We decided to create a Twitter account to help disseminate information on class suspension,” Ganzon said. “This will also be a good way for us to post other important announcements and updates coming from the department.”

She said posting the agency’s announcement on the popular website “is an easy and cheap way to update many Filipinos.”

Disseminating information on which regions and provinces had their classes suspended due to the prevailing typhoon signal raised by the weather bureau has been a constant problem of DepEd.

This is a good move by DepEd but with only around 30 million active Filipino internet users in a population of over 90 million, they need to have more ways to update every Juan.
