This reminds me about the whereabouts of Adrian Zenz, now that a real genocide of Muslims is going on? In fact, the West MSM will give you a pass no matter how extreme your viewpoint actually is as long as your are anti-China.
Sorry, there are a lot of OFW that are willing to come home and work on this project, plus the Chinese can provide the engineering expertise themselves. The Main problem is the right of way, corruption and POLITICS. usually BIG ITEM infrastructure is a major source of corruption, the Chinese having learn their lesson from the aborted North Rail project wanted a counterpart funding instead of lending money directly to gov't institution. This take time, within the 6 years of Duterte administration, major plan including engineering and feasibility studies had been undertaken and completed in 2019, covid delay the release as the Philippine used those counterpart fund to buy vaccine and the rest is history as Marcos bungle his Foreign Policy BIG TIME, by selling our leverage to the American for $15 million....lol
Vietnam has already exceeded the Philippines in both GDP per capita and Human Development Index.
You choose your lots, why not ask the American for funding
you can't have it both ways. Let see if the Japanese will be willing to fund those risky investment and your overstretched statement applied to them not to the Chinese. There is smugness among the Marcos official , they want to put a brave face and the shift the blame to Duterte for trusting the Chinese. Let's see in 5 years time what major changes he had done to improve the lives of ordinary Filipino, right now he had an abysmal record, it look like we regress and most of us here are filling the pain without effective policy to mitigate it.
The Filipinos really love to talk big and tough when all that tough talking stems from their Supreme and unwavering belief that America will fight China to the last Filipinos!! Lol...
Bro for $15 million, well at least it can buy a Mcdonalds Happy meal with large fries and unlimited drinks.
I just saw and read the tweets of that smug, arrogant, bellicose posts PH Coast guard officer calling China as modern day barbarians. His way of expressing himself endears him to his stupid base of clueless Filipinos and western masters wanting to use idiot countries like the PH to disrupt and destroy the economic ascendancy of ASEAN and China so that western countries can remain the only viable option and on top.You choose your lots, why not ask the American for funding
At least Wang Yi had been given some snack compare to their previous Alaska meeting and please ask for some hot water for Ramens incase those snacks are inedible.
He is a politician not a military officer, after leaving the service, I bet you he will run for office using those phrases to win votes, that's the only way for people like him to gain upward mobility. In an Oligarchy society, family status come first, then loyalty and the last is meritocracy, your status in society are set unless you did something spectacular that will endeared yourself to the oligarch.
