RAPPLER

“Hindi naman tatamaan ang mayayaman na may family driver. Ang tatamaan ay ang middle class na walang driver at pinapang-hatid-sundo ang sasakyan.“

Have you ever been in a situation where you wish you could use magic? Ever daydreamed about flying a broom to work instead of sitting in traffic or using a spell to summon your lost cellphone?

To celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the first Harry Potter book, we've put together a number of day to day situations where magic would be a lifesaver!

Can you relate to these?

Starting today, we will be aggressively deleting crude and disrespectful posts and comments that violate standards of civility.

Debates and discourse have always been anchored on basic principles of human decency, respect, and values.

We have zero tolerance for comments that curse, trash, degrade, humiliate and intimidate. Such behavior does little to inspire intelligent and informed discussion that is the foundation of a vibrant democracy.

Freedom of speech does not mean license to smear reputation and ruin credibility. Nor does it mean the freedom to be irresponsible and to defame. Freedom of speech, rather, is the recognition of the right of anyone to speak his or her mind, and to express a contrary view without being objectionable.

We are reclaiming our space as one that is safe from harassment on social media. No one should be afraid to write or speak what he or she thinks.

On Rappler, you should feel safe to express yourself without fear of being attacked and swarmed by an army of anonymous commenters who seek to silence and tame.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is in stores today!

A new Harry Potter book is on the shelves again!

Remember the first time you lined up early to get a copy of Harry Potter?

Get your wands and cloaks out of the closet.

(We miss you, Alan)

Back to magic, back to Hogwarts!

BRB selling my soul for a copy.
