1984 by George Orwell Relevance today
Sa mga nakabasa ng 1984 book ni George Orwell, did you noticed the same current situation we are in? Summary The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia). Oceania is governed by the all-controlling Party, which has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The Party has created a propagandistic language known as Newspeak, which is designed to limit free thought and promote the Party’s doctrines. Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” The Party maintains control...

The unfortunate Bong Go
President Duterte is the absentee landlord of Philippine politics. In his absence, Sen. Bong Go, his personal aide of two decades and the erstwhile special assistant to the President, often serves, all at the same time, as source, bearer, and filter of the President’s thinking. Other national politicians have been actual absentee landlords; some landlords have won high political office without spending too much time away from their properties. But in the history of the Philippine presidency, no one has been AWOL as much as Rodrigo Duterte. Even Joseph Estrada, not known for an ethos of hard work as a politician, respected the office enough to be present for most important occasions; he did not embarrass the country by flying to summits...
Deadly Protests Across Colombia(NSFW)
For several days now, people across Colombia have voiced their anger in large demonstrations. The protests—initially in response to a tax-reform proposal by President Iván Duque that many said would punish the middle class—have transformed into platforms for people to E×ρréšš their wider anger over the government’s mishandling of unemployment, inequality, and the ongoing pandemic crisis. Demonstrations continue, despite President Duque’s withdrawal of his unpopular tax proposal. Recently, the protests have also focused attention on police brutality, after the deaths of at least 19 demonstrators in previous days.

China Backs Away as Philippines and U.S. Send Impressive Fleet to West Philippine Sea
© Provided by Esquire Philippines In a surprising move, the Philippines sent its strongest response yet against China’s expansion into the West Philippine Sea. Not since 2012 has the Philippines moved its naval forces to the West Philippine Sea to challenge China’s militarization of the area. The move is a highly coordinated response with the United States. In March, the Philippines reported the presence of 220 Chinese vessels at Julian Felipe Reef. That number has been reduced to fewer than 10 as of April 13. "The Chinese have blinked," retired U.S. Navy officer Jerry Hendrix told Forbes. Below are photos taken by the Philippine Coast Guard on April 13 and 14 showing Philippine and Chinese vessels at Julian Felipe Reef. ©...

Brazil's P1 coronavirus variant mutating, may become more dangerous study
© Provided by BusinessWorld RIO DE JANEIRO -— Brazil’s P1 coronavírus variant, behind a deadly coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surge in the Latin American country that has raised international alarm, is mutating in ways that could make it better able to evade antibodies, according to scientists studying the virus. Research conducted by the public health institute Fiocruz into the variants circulating in Brazil found mutations in the spike region of the virus that is used to enter and infect cells. Those changes, the scientists said, could make the virus more resistant to vaccines — which target the spike protein — with potentially grave implications for the severity of the outbreak in Latin America’s most populous nation. “We...
