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...
Support Lang For Minda
OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF SECRETARY MARIA BELEN S. ACOSTA This is to inform the public that the quo warranto case that was initially dismissed is now reversed. The regional trial court has granted the Motion for Reconsideration and ordered the other party to respond in 15 days. This is the curious case of Mindanao Development Authority having two appointed Secretaries for one and the same position. The post is not vacant, not co-terminus, neither a position of trust as its mandate is clearly defined in RA 9996, and presently occupied. Yet, another person was appointed with no prior formal notification from Malacañang. Due process was not followed, and no clear “cause” was established. The undersigned stands by the letter and intent of...
Go Tulfo,Ubosin Mo Lahat Ng Insik
Naghain ng resolusyon si Sen. Raffy Tulfo na naglalayong imbestigahan ang aniya'y nakaaalarmang pagdagsa ng Chinese nationals sa Multinational Village sa Parañaque City. Sa kaniyang Senate Resolution No. 1043, binanggit ni Tulfo ang reklamo ng mga residenteng may-ari ng Multinational Village sa nasabing pagdagsa ng mga Chinese sa kanilang komunidad noong 2019. Ito umano ang taon kung kailan nagsimula umanong lumipat ang mga Chinese na sinasabing nagtatrabaho sa Philippine Overseas Gaming Operators #POGO. "Kamakailan ay sunod-sunod ang mga natatanggap ko na reklamo mula sa mga homeowner ng Multinational Village sa Parañaque City tungkol sa pagsakop na ng mga Chinese national sa kanilang lugar. Nagmistulang Chinese territory na raw ang...
Just So You Know.
Sa isyu ng pagsama-sama ng pondo ng bayan nuong COVID-19, sa mga mambabatas na gustong tirisin ang liderato nuon, paki-kuha ninyo ang kopya ng RA 11469 o Bayanihan to Heal as One (24 March 2020) at RA11494 (11 September 2020) o Bayanihan to Recover as One. Ang RA11469 ay deklarasyon ng pagkakaroon ng national emergency. Pakitingnan ang Sec. 4 sa authorized powers na binigay ng Kongreso sa pangulo. Ang RA 11494 ay klarado sa Sec 10 sa Appropriation and Stanby Fund, Sec 11 sa Sources of Fund, Sec 13 Report to Congress, Sec 14 Reportorial Requirement and Creation of an Oversignt Committee. Huwag nyong ibahin ang kasaysayan. Ang Kongreso ang nagbigay ng kapangyarihan sa pangulo nuon para tumugon sa COVID. Ang ibang Mainstream Media iba...
Lower Tariff = Lower Price of Rice?
Naniwala naman kayo na babagsak ang presyo ng bigas dahil binabaan ang taripa to 15%? Last December na extend na yan ni BBM yung binabaan ni PRRD na from 40%-50% under the RTL to 35% noong 2021. Bumaba ba ang presyo? Diba hindi? Mas lalong tumaas pa nga under BBM, diba? RTL + Cartel May problema ang RTL pero hindi ito totally na masamang batas. Patunay diyan eh hindi ito pinapasawalang bisa ni BBM at ng congress. Bagkus ito ay pinapabago o amend lang. Kaya huwag niyong sisihin si PRRD diyan dahil sa IRR ng batas yan nagka problema matapos ito ay napirmahan. Ang problemang malala sa RTL ay ang paglagay ng classification ng bigas. Syempre yung mga importer ay hindi nila dinideklara ng tama yung mga bigas nila. Idini-declare nila...
Shout Out To Rappler.
EPOCH TIMES ARREST ‘SOLVES MAJOR MYSTERY’ A stunning arrest at the anti-China media outlet Epoch Times is set to solve one of the biggest mysteries in media. . How did an amateur freesheet launched in 2000 by members of a modern religious cult become a rich, powerful international media group, published in at least 36 countries? . By 2019, it was so powerful that it worked with US government groups, including Washington DC’s notorious “Radio Free Asia” and “Open Technology Fund”, exposed as being involved in financing and aiding the violent unrest in Hong Kong in 2019. . . . . MONEY LAUNDERING This week, Bill Guan, 61, chief financial officer of the Epoch Times, was arrested on charges of money laundering by federal prosecutors in the...
Drama In The High Seas A.k.a Batang Quiapo.
DRAMA in the high seas with a script that was written as the story went along. This new controversy surrounding the May 19 resupply mission to Ayungin Shoal by the Philippine Navy shows the embarrassing ineptitude of Marcos Jr.’s administration in handling our dispute with China in the SCS especially in their subsequent media presentations after each ‘mission.’ But what if it was a case of a bad PR plan that went worse leading to a desperate act of public image redemption. Two articles in one media outfit alone, in this case Inquirer.net is very confusing to me it made me think something is really off-tangent. The incident as reported by the AFP claimed that the Chinese Coast Guard “seized” provisions meant for our troops...
Truth To Be Told
I find it difficult to understand why the sinophobic mob, and that includes the President, can't understand that the UN Convention on THE LAW OF THE SEA, is. as its name emphasizes, deals with rights over maritime areas (EEZ, territorial sea etc.) and NOT WITH nations' sovereignty. Such conflicting sovereign claims can be solved only through negotiations and the agreement of TWO countries to let a third body decide on it. Aquino III however conflated the issue, not for the truth but for propaganda that is easily believed by the gullible.
