The Lawless Duterte Administration
SA ISANG TINGIN Ang pagguho ng rule of law sa Pilipinas ay isang pangunahing tema na sumasailalim sa pagkapangulo ni Rodrigo Duterte. Ginagamit ng Pangulo ang batas bilang sandata laban sa mga itinuturing niyang mga kaaway. Ang pagsunod sa internasyonal na batas at pagtaguyod ng mga karapatan na may kapangyarihan ay humina. Sa unang 4 na araw ay naging pangulo si Rodrigo Duterte noong 2016, hindi bababa sa 45 ang mga hinihinalang gumagamit ng droga at trafficker ang napatay. Iyon ay tungkol sa 11 mga bangkay sa isang araw: isang landas ng dugo na magiging signal ng trademark ni Duterte sa pamamahala sa bansa. Sa kapal ng digmaan sa droga - noong ika-8 buwan niyang katungkulan - pinadalhan ni Duterte si Senador Leila de Lima, ang...

Coronavirus Advice
Hi folks, This source is from a doctor in Hong Kong who consulted with his friend (who currently works on SARS prevention research) on some effective ways to prevent the Coronavirus. It was originally written in Cantonese style Chinese so I used my best attempt to translate it into English for you guys. Worth a read. About the virus: 1. It is pretty large in size (cell is about 400-500nm diameter), so any normal mask (not just the N95 feature) should be able to filter it out. However, when someone who's infected sneezes in front of you, it will take a great 3 meters (about 10 feet) before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne. 2. When the virus drops on a metal surface, it will live for at least 12 hours. So remember if...

As the 2019 novel (new) coronavirus or 2019-nCoV continues to spread globally, a possible computer virus is also hitting the world wide web.

The discovered files were said to contain a range of threats from...

Duterte explained why he has sought stronger ties with non-traditional partners China and Russia: 'It's because they respect the sovereignty of the country which America is totally, totally, lacking...' Oka- wait, what? They respect the sovereignty? Russia, maybe. But, China? China respects the sovereignty of the Philippines? So, harassing the Philippine fishermen and coast guard is respecting our sovereignty? Building military outposts on the West Philippine sea is respecting our sovereignty? Refusing to recognize the Hague ruling which Philippines won is respecting our sovereignty? Never knew bullying and harassment are already considered respect. While US' respect for sovereignty is also questionable, to make it look like China is...
