War is in the Offing
I say again. The Philippines is not the enemy of China in the South China Sea. It is the mighty USA. Why do you think China harasses Filipino citizens doing resupply missions to the Ayungin Shoal but allows Vietnam unhampered reclamation and weaponization of the rocks and shoals it occupies in areas inside China's 9-dash line? Because Vietnam does not act as a puppet of the USA like the Philippines. On the resupply mission a few days ago, a Philippine Navy sailor lost a finger during a scuffle with Chinese soldiers who intercepted the resupply mission. The Chinese towed the PN RHIB boats away from the Siera Madre, gassed our sailors, boarded their boats, confiscated their 8 firearms and punctured the boats. So sad for the Philippines...
R.I.P Comprehension.
THOSE WHO ARE BLAMING VP SARA DUTERTE FOR THE PISA RESULTS ARE **** Yes, you heard it right. Those claiming that VP Sara is responsible for the low PISA results are misinformed. First, it’s important to understand that the OECD conducts the PISA every three years since 2000. From 2000 to 2017, the Philippines did not participate. It was only during President Rodrigo Duterte's administration that the Philippines first joined the test in 2018. The second participation occurred on March 11, 2022, again under PRRD’s administration. VP Sara Duterte assumed the role of Secretary of DepEd on June 19, 2022. This means that the students who took the PISA test were still under the leadership of then-Secretary Leonor Briones and were products...
Lost In The Definition of An Armed Attck
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐔𝐌: Philippine authorities are now at a lost on how to make sense of the recent confrontation between the Chinese coast guards and Philippine Navy. Is it an armed attack? Is it “piracy” as General Romeo Brawner Jr. said? Definitions matter. Your sentiments on social media aren’t good starting points. A deeper understanding of international law and practice in activating defense treaties are important. Let’s start with the interesting angle of General Romeo Brawner Jr, characterising the incident as “piracy.” On its face, this is a smart political move. States have universally considered “pirates” as “hostis humanis generis” (enemy of mankind). As a political move, General Brawner’s characterisation of the...
The CIA Fake A Vaccination Drive
THE CIA FAKED A VACCINATION DRIVE for Hepatitis in a village of Pakistan in 2011 months before Osama bin Laden was killed. The goal was to extract blood samples from unsuspecting villagers so the CIA can confirm if indeed Osama bin Laden was there with his family by identifying the presence of his DNA in the population. It was never really known if the CIA-led operation was successful although the Americans did find bin Laden, subsequently killing him on 02 May 2011 in a daring raid by US Navy Seals. However, the CIA’s fake vaccination was exposed to the Pakistani public inciting public indignation on the Americans. Since then, Pakistanis became wary and suspicious of any legitimate government sponsored vaccination including...

Warning: A Very Sensitive Story
Dear Bongbong Marcos, If you are still unaware or maybe until now you are still uninformed baka nagparty ka na naman or jetlag sa travel, a Filipino Navy personnel gets his finger cut off in a melee between Chinese and Philippine vessels in a resupply mission in Ayungin Shoal, June 17, 2024.

He also demanded reparations for damaged equipment, which include punctured inflatable boats. Push natin yan sir! 💦💦💦 MDT???walang nakaisip?ANYONE FROM SENATE??? BLINGBLONG NARCOS???hello?
Just A Thought
It is really interesting that these people think that the Philippine destruction will happen through missiles falling on its territory. Nope. The Bank of America already warned: any further deterioration in the diplomatic relations between Philippines and China could lead to SEVERE ECONOMIC DAMAGE to the Philippine economy. That means rising prices across all consumer goods from PAKO to MEDICINE to RICE to OIL. And while you are suffering, China will barely feel any dent. The Philippines will be plunged into further debt without any increase of productivity in its economy. You will suffer the worst inflation you will experience in your lifetime. U.S. intervention, the stuff of the wet dreams of Heydarian et al., won't really save...

10 Interesting Trivia About Philippine Senators
For some Filipinos, electing Philippine senators is more like casting votes for a popularity contest. Gullible voters are rife and outnumber those who still believe in “voting wisely”. Philippine senators who win each election year serve 6 years in office, so it’s disappointing to know that the less deserving are now senators (and some now in jail), and the country deprived of better, more qualified law makers. But enough of the complaining. We can only hope that future voters will wise up and do their due diligence to elect deserving candidates. Who knows? Perhaps in the future, one of them might achieve a milestone that will somehow make their predecessors proud. And so in this article, we feature ten prominent Philippine...

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...

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
