“WE DO NOT WANT TO BE DICTATED BY ANY FOREIGN FORCE, AND WHILE WE ARE FRIENDLY WITH THE UNITED STATES, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA, THEY SHOULD NOT PRECLUDE US FROM BEING FRIENDLY WITH ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT NEIGHBORS, CHINA. IF THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CHINA, THEY SHOULD NOT INCLUDE US.” Sana ganito ang leaders natin. Alam paano protektahan ang tao nila. Marunong ng independent foreign policy. He has the same policy as PRRD, except he’s nice about it lol. And yes Malaysia also has territorial dispute with China over the Spratly Islands. Di alam ng mga Talyanista kasi na it’s not the Philippines vs China, its many countries vs each other in this territorial dispute, with Vietnam occupying the most number of islands and Taiwan occupying...

How The Rich Got Richer

How The Rich Got Richer

The law is good but do we really think these institutions will follow it to the letter? Maybe they will but I’m sure they will find a way to screw us up somewhere. The best example is GCash. I just noticed they have a ₱2 convenience fee when I buy load from the app to my prepaid Globe number. GCash and Globe are both owned by the Ayalas so why in the ****ing world should we be charged a convenience fee when it is their duty to provide their customers utmost convenience by seamlessly integrating all their services that includes buying load, bills payment et cetera across all the companies they own — at no possible cost. That’s called customer convenience. It’s called looking after your customer needs and providing them with...

SCS hoax No. 3: 'Court' ruled vs China's claims"

SCS hoax No. 3: 'Court' ruled vs China's claims"

Read full article: SCS hoax No. 3: ‘Court’ ruled vs China’s claims - Rigoberto Tiglao Third of four parts THE third-biggest lie over our South China Sea (SCS) disputes with China has been disseminated in the Hitlerian tactic that a fallacy repeated again and again would be believed as truth. Indeed, nearly all media reports on our SCS quarrel contain versions of the following statement: "The Philippines sued China before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2013 over the country's claims in the West Philippine Sea. In July 2016, the court ruled in favor of the Philippines and rejected China's nine-dash claim, covering almost the entire South China Sea." That's from a May 24, 2024 report in the Daily Tribune, ironically...

Did It Changes Anything?

Did It Changes Anything?

Wag na tayo mangamba dahil kayang kayang tayong ipagtanggol ng travel vlogger sa “West Philippines Sea”. 😜😜 In the report published by Philippine Star, the lady said: "Yes, nagawa namin! Nagawa namin! Ang galing, ang galing ng moment. Atin 'tong sandy Cay na ito. Atin 'tong Spratlys, iyon 'yong feeling. Nakakatakot, siyempre. Nakakanginig din ng tuhod 'yung experience kasi doon pa lang makita mo may mga Chinese vessels nga na puwedeng pumunta agad, puwede kaming habulin” .

Insights 101

The Congressmen hearing the plight of the fishermen had no answers to their concerns about: 1) Why there is a rising number of Vietnamese fishing vessels around Scarborough Shoal (Bajo de Masinloc). 2) Why Chinese Coast Guards have no issues with Vietnamese fishing vessels 3) Why Philippine Coast Guards seem to not mind about rising Vietnamese fishing vessels The answer in 1 is the fact that the 2016 South China Sea arbitration decision declared that Bajo de Masinloc is traditional fishing grounds of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino fishermen. The likely answer to #2 is that China and Vietnam have deepening cooperation in the South China Sea, specially among their coast guards. There have been a series of confidence building...

Saan Na Kaya Tong Dalawa?

Saan Na Kaya Tong Dalawa?

Powell + Tarriela: Our Assertive Transparency Initiative in the South China Sea is working and has caused great reputational damage to China in the eyes of the international community. China: The China Coast Guard is now authorized to detain trespassers in our territorial waters in the South China Sea by June for 30-60 days without trial. We will impose a 4-month fishing ban over our waters in the South China Sea from May 1 to September 16. Me: Yes Ray and Jay, it’s working alright.

Massive misinformation on Scarborough, SCS issues

Massive misinformation on Scarborough, SCS issues

Massive misinformation on Scarborough, SCS issues WITH our disputes over the South China Sea territorial and maritime disputes again hogging the front pages, I am again astonished at the massive misinformation on the issue, a testament indeed to the tremendous power of the US and its propaganda apparatus. What gives these lies so much power is first, deep-seated anti-Chinese racism, which early in our history as a people led to massacres of the Spanish-era Chinese settlements, called the parian. Second, it is another instance of that deeply ingrained mentality that psychologists and anthropologists call the "us vs. them" syndrome: that is, evil is the other tribe, the other clan, the other fraternity, the other basketball team, and...

Welcome to Maisug Bohol.

Welcome to Maisug Bohol.

This is another evidence of the growing authoritarianism of the BBM regime: harassing duly elected and appointed government officials they perceive to be allies of PRRD by either suspending them in the case of elected officials or outright removal and replacement without cause for PRRD appointees. From DavNor governor Jubahib to Gov. Mamba of Cagayan province, Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama, MinDA chair Mabel Acosta, the 40 or so high ranking PNP officers of Davao City, and plenty more that were not publicized or we just don’t know about. While I agree that officials who were responsible for what happened in the famed Chocolate Hills needed to be held accountable for failure to exercise their proper functions, it seems to me suspending...

The True Cost of POGOs: Economic Losses and Rising Crime in the Philippines

The True Cost of POGOs: Economic Losses and Rising Crime in the Philippines

Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) have been a significant topic of debate in the Philippines for several years. Initially, POGOs were welcomed with open arms, expected to bring substantial economic benefits and boost local employment. However, recent discussions and analyses, such as those presented by Prof. Cielo Magno, have revealed a more complex picture. While POGOs were anticipated to be an economic boon, the reality is far more concerning. Issues related to crime, money laundering, and social costs have come to the forefront, raising questions about their overall impact on the country. Moreover, the minimal contribution of POGOs to the national GDP and their association with îllégâl activities have further fueled the...

Good Morning Ayuda Nation

Good Morning Ayuda Nation

ALMOST 80% of our GDP is from private household consumption. Is this good? For the ordinary Filipino, the answer is no. For business owners it is a big yes. For politicians eager to make his mark in Philippine politics, it’s a sad yes. In March 2024 Household consumption was pegged at 78.3% of our entire GDP. Simply put, almost eighty percent of our economy is fueled by household consumer spending which means only twenty percent comes from savings & investments, exports, and government spending — the other three components of a country’s GDP. This is why a rise in nominal GDP is not necessarily a reflection of how resilient or evenly distributed the wealth of a country’s economy is since it only measures total spending. The...

Good Morning From Putin With Love

Good Morning From Putin With Love

Ukraine was Putin’s red line against NATO expansion into Russia’s doorstep since 2007 at the earliest. More recently, Mr. Putin declared another red line: the soon to be delivered F-16s to Ukraine from NATO will be viewed by Russia as ‘nuclear capable’ threats. During, before, and even after his inauguration, Mr. Putin without any hint of ambiguity said that Russia will not hesitate to attack military bases outside of Ukraine that may provide logistical support for these jets to deliver bombs against Russian troops. Analysts say those bases referred to by Mr. Putin maybe those NATO bases in both Romania and Poland. Mr. Putin further stressed he will not hesitate to use tactical nuclear weapons against these bases both in and outside...
