Thanks bro. I’m actually a Filipino diaspora in the US (moved here as a child) but unlike a lot of Filipinos living here, I have made myself aware of Filipino history, society and politics. So along with that, awareness to American-Filipino geopolitical relationship. All I can say is that it’s sad for an “independent” country to willingly vassalize itself like the Philippines all on the basis of history that has been doctored and warped. We have never really achieved independence.
A possible peaceful solution, why not discontinue the Dual Passport policy, why allow a foreigners to owned business and run for public office? As long as this policy persist we will never be free from the Collective West vassalage as the enemy is our own and its better than a bloody revolution.
I had held this belief that for all its flaws, incompetence and some hypocrisy, the CPP-NPA was at least the real nationalists in the country—and I use that term loosely for Filipinos who put Filipino interests at the fore. Boy was I wrong. It looks like America has gotten to virtually every sector of Philippine society. They’re almost as bad as the Filipino liberals who suddenly went silent when Marcos Jr. did a 180 degrees on his foreign policy from taking a more nuanced approach to just completely selling out to the US. You might be right with Joma though, for all my gripe about him, I believe he stood on his principles.
Most of the leftist activist in the cities had been tamed, as their children are allowed to study abroad sponsor by the oligarch and the US. This is the American method use to subjugate any opposition, an example is Renato Reyes Jr, he was active condemning Duterte about his drug war BUT eerily quite under Marcos Jr administration, he is known as a nationalist leader BUT he is very coy in his criticism of the new EDCA. What's the reason? well his wife work as a high executive in Ayala group of company, an oligarch establishment, his son studied at Ateneo De Manila and his daughter studied abroad in the US. So who support his expense as he is jobless? the revolutionary fund is thinning as the extortion money can't keep up with daily expense because of inflation, so you can see the hypocrisy. While the opposite can be said about those NPA fighting in the Mountains, these are true revolutionaries, they have problem recruiting new members because of Duterte policy.
we never had a real civil war, so that might rectify the wrongs in the Philippines…
And we never will as people find a peaceful solution as long as there is a Duterte in the ballot. The oligarch and political elite should be thankful as he save them from a possible pogrom because of Noynoy mismanagement and oligarchy greed.
Maria Ressa is a mediocre journalist who should be in prison for tax evasion and violating the constitution. The fact that she got acquitted for some of these charges is enough proof that the US has a lot of undue influence in our government.
*ahem*NED*ahem*
I'm glad that She is not a Filipina BUT an America, just look at her, she's the opposite of what define a Filipina beauty.
