Necessary Precaution or Excessive Force?
The recent attempt to arrest Pastor Apollo Quiboloy has stirred up quite the controversy, with figures like former President Duterte, Vice President Duterte, and their allies, including Senators Padilla and Marcos, claiming Quiboloy is being treated unfairly. But let's take a closer look at the facts before jumping to conclusions. 1. Quiboloy himself has said, “I will not be caught alive,” which should raise some red flags. So, when the Philippine National Police (PNP) showed up with SWAT teams, helicopters, and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), they were doing what was necessary to handle a potentially dangerous situation. First off, Rappler reported that Quiboloy has a seriously pricey gun collection, worth...
New Standard of Nationalism
President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent condemnation of excessive force during the attempted arrest of David Quiboloy, leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, has sparked widespread debate. Duterte's statement has faced scrutiny, given his administration's controversial record on human rights and law enforcement. Under Duterte's leadership, the Philippines has seen a highly aggressive campaign against îllégâl drugs, resulting in numerous fatalities and accusations of human rights violations. Duterte’s public endorsements of harsh tactics, such as his "shoot to kill" directive for drug offenders, have raised concerns about his commitment to human rights. Critics argue that his condemnation of excessive force in Quiboloy’s case appears...
MADNESS OF THE CROWD
. China assets will probably be next and the insanity of Western leaders would’ve grown to a level that’s going to bring the whole world closer and closer to financial and nuclear armageddon. In social psychology this phenomenon is referred to as “the madness of the crowd” where a large number of people including whole countries and groups of countries seem to display “irrational behavior” and take “impulsive actions” that normally can be considered as detrimental to the well being of their societies at large — contrary to what these individuals do or act individually when they are not part of a “crowd”. In juvenile psychology it is commonly described as peer pressure. Undeniably, 73% of Filipinos support, therefore belong to this...

"The U.S. military launched a clandestine program amid the COVID crisis to discredit China’s Sinovac inoculation – payback for Beijing’s efforts to blame Washington for the pandemic. One target: the Filipino public. Health experts say the gambit was indefensible and put innocent lives at risk." READ: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-covid-propaganda/
Budget Update
So 10% na lang natira. Ibig sabihin 100% fully disbursed na ang budget before the end of this month. Maaga ang pasko ng mga hinayupak na kurakot sa gobyerno. Kaya panay paraffle, paconcert, paliga, at kung ano ano ng party party ang ginagawa ng mga Mayors, Governors at Congressman. Nakowww! Pano yan hindi pa typhoon season or rainy season na sigurado ang daming babahaing lugar. Kumusta na kaya mga calamity at contingency funds nila?
Huwad Na Kalayaan
HOW JUNE 12, 1898 WAS STOLEN BY TWO RACIST COUNTRIES "During negotiations between Dewey’s camp and Jáudenes, U.S. Army General Wesley Merritt, commander of the San Francisco–based VIII Corps, shared his views of Filipinos. In an 1899 interview, Merrit told a journalist from the New York Sun that he had come "with orders not to treat with the Indians [sic]; not to recognize them, and not to promise anything," adding, General "Aguinaldo is just the same to me as a boy in the street." The Spanish commander held a similar attitude; he was "willing to surrender to white people," but never to Filipinos." Read: The mock battle that ended the Spanish-American War
RUSSIA displaced and overtook Japan as the fourth largest economy in the world in terms of PPP or Purchasing Power Parity.
4TH LARGEST. PPP, if I’m not mistaken is a metric used by economists to measure the size of a country’s economy not in nominal terms or the total GDP size in US Dollars but in the purchasing power of it’s local currency against another —the American green back as is usually the case. This fact was highlighted by international media only recently but the World Bank confirmed Russia long overtook Japan as the fourth largest economy in PPP terms three years ago in 2021 as shown in the graph. China, Russia, and India of the BRICS alliance are now among the top five largest economies of the world in PPP terms with the US and Japan rounding up list. However, Japan’s currency the Yen has devalued very significantly against the US Dollar...
Ito Dapat Sundin,Wag Lang Sanang Mamundok.
Arian Jane Ramos , formerly known under the alias "Marikit", a law student and a productive member of society. She once served as a full member for 7 years achieving the rank of secretary of the NPA's guerilla front 55 based in Davao City. All throughout her life she is guided by her need and intentions to serve the community. She joined the CPP-NPA because she saw the socio-economic injustice and imbalance on the livelihood of the people. Seeing the increased involvement of the government on the very same battle, she had a renewal of ideology and returned back to the fold on August 1 2021, where she surrendered to the government. Taking time from her busy law school life, she is an active partner in community building together with...
Just My 2 Cents.
What happened in Davao City is just a dry run. It's a rehearsal for the Bigger Battle BBM wants to fight. Arrest Digong if ICC warrant of arrest comes out. And of course, eventually arrest Sara, remember she was suddenly included last year. Why they want to control Davao City should be in everyone's mind now. If you know what Digong prevented to be established in Davao City before, you should already know the answer. Davao City is a strategic location for launching something. Go back to August 2013...and you will know the answer.
Maharlika Investment Fund?o Scam?
Ipapasok daw ang pera ng taumbayan na nasa Maharlika Investment Scam sa pagkonekta ng kuryente sa mga isla sa national power grid para daw gumanda ang supply ng kuryente sa bansa. Ang ganda pakinggan, di ba? Pero usisain nyo kung sino ang nakakuha ng negosyo ng pagsusupply ng kuryente sa mga isla ng bansa. At usisain nyo kung kelan nila nakuha ang mga negosyong ito. Sagot: dalawang malaking cronies/oligarchs ang nakakuha ng marami sa mga negosyong ito AT nakuha nila ito pagkatapos ng eleksyon ng 2022. Parang alam na alam nila ang mangyayari. Hahaha. So ngayon gobyerno ang popondo ng koneksyon para gumanda ang supply ng kuryente sa mga lugar na ito. Hulaan kung kanino mapupunta ang tubo? Laway lang ang pinuhunan kasi di sila...
LOREN'S BOY is now among The Big Boys.
LOREN’S BOY is now among The Big Boys & is playing with his version of Toys for the Big Boys. The estate is part of the Roxas Haciendas in Batangas owned by RCI or Roxas & Co. Inc. and Roxas Holdings Inc. (RHI) both of which Senator Loren Legarda’s son Leandro Leviste has acquired a significant stake in. The acclaimed solar farm boy son of a Senator has recently fashioned himself into a corporate raider with the heavily idebted — BUT ULTRA REAL ESTATE RICH — RHI and RCI of the old money Tisoys Roxas-Elizalde clan as his first target. Leadro’s hostile corporate takeover bid even sent the Tisoys scrambling to take necessary steps in order to maintain control of the companies they own who collectively own the real estate in question...
PH Eexit Na As Asean Member?
Seriously? Really? Are we even remotely aware of the political, economic, and security consequences of such a move, if at all? If the Philippines exits ASEAN, it will lose its platform for regional diplomacy and collective bargaining power on trade, security, and regional stability issues. In that case, PH will need to rely more on bilateral agreements, which is fine but could be less favorable than multilateral agreements secured through ASEAN. Likewise, PH may lose preferential access to the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which could negatively impact exports, trade, and economic growth. If the Philippines exits ASEAN, it may no longer benefit from the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and other trade agreements like RCEP, potentially...
American Hypocrisy
The US is not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS. Russia however, is. Surprised? Here’s more: In December of 2023 the Americans announced they are preparing to make a territorial claim by extending the seabed boundaries of the Alaskan peninsula in the Bering Strait just across Russia’s Siberian coast of their northeastern most Arctic boundary. This claim will extend the US continental shelf and by default their sovereign territory, and in effect extend American soil closer and closer to Russia. Although the latest American territorial claim doesn’t overlap with Russia’s, the Russians have vehemently opposed the American claims citing the US is not party to UNCLOS — the UN body that for...
Putin's Not Joking
THE WORLD is inching closer and closer to World War 3. A few days ago Mr. Putin has set his ultimate red line: US-NATO provided long range missiles striking deep into Russian territory constitutes an act of direct war by those countries against Russia. Following those remarks, Mr. Putin has now called on his senior officials and fellow Russians to prepare to be in the front line if that should happen hinting on a possible mass mobilization of the entire nation into a war footing. The Americans foolishy still think Mr. Putin is bluffing. I don’t. — MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Monday the United States could face "fatal consequences " if it ignored Moscow's warnings not to let Ukraine use...
Unsay Ampatuan Makakalaya?
When you search for the Ampatuan Massacre in Meta, it will ask you whether you want to continue doing so. Understandable because that event is the worst day for journalists in the Philippines, the worst election related violence and the most barbaric display of guns,goon and gold of any politician. If you want to see 58 dead bodies being recovered by backhoes in a large pit in Maguindanao, go ahead. In fact I think, you should see it. Now it is rumored that Unsay Ampatuan, the main guy who got convicted for this heinous crime in 2019, is set to be freed soon. Why? How? He is supposed to rot in jail right? Well, they may use the New Good Conduct Time Allowance Law (NGCTA). Apparently, in April 3, 2024, the Supreme Court found DOJ to...
