No self-respecting gamer likes watching ads while playing, especially if they have a choice. Valve also committed to this by releasing a new set of advertising rules for Steam , first reported by Gaming on Linux. These rules prohibit games that force players to watch in-game ads on Steam. The unsupported advertising on Steam includes games requiring players to watch or engage with advertising to play or gating gameplay behind advertising. Advertisers also can’t use ads to provide value to players, like giving players rewards for watching or engaging with ads. “If your game’s business model relies on advertising on other platforms, you will need to remove those elements before shipping on Steam. Some options you could consider include switching to a single purchase “paid app,” or making your game free to play with optional upgrades sold via Microtransactions or Downloadable Content (DLC),” the document explained.

The local government of Iloilo announced that the second Iloilo City Action and Response (ICARE) center in Barangay Balantang in Jaro District is ready to serve surrounding communities after its inauguration on February 4.
“This is very strategic in the sense that it will cover barangays which are in Jaro and will be able to cater to the needs of our constituents along those areas,” said Mayor Jerry Treñas.
The first center was established in Barangay Calumpang in Molo District that was inaugurated in November last year.
Treñas said another center is being constructed in Barangay Ungka, Jaro while similar facilities will be built in Barangay Nabitasan, La Paz; Barangay Esperanza, City Proper; Barangay Sooc, Arevalo; and Megaworld in Mandurriao.
The ICARE centers cater to calls for assistance such as trauma cases, vehicular accidents, medical emergencies, and even transport of COVID-19 patients.

Each ICARE has an ambulance being backed up by the emergency operations center.
City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) head Donna Magno said the satellite centers are a big help because the operations are already downloaded to the district level and they no longer have to rely on their resources at the emergency operations center.
“We can count on the barangays in the district to help us out.”

The satellite centers are connected to the command center that is about to be completed at the Gaisano Iloilo City Center (ICC) along Diversion Road in Mandurriao district and the emergency operations center at the motor pool.
The system works in such a way that emergency calls will be connected to the command center for dispatch to the closest satellite or they can directly call to the nearest ICARE center using their available hotlines.
“As early as last year we already made purchases for our emergency telecommunications network as part of improving the equipment within our emergency operations center. These equipment will also be used in our ICARE centers,” she said.
