Former Senator Nikki Coseteng recently said that the ongoing Hate Campaign against China under the current Administration of President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) could lead to War between the two Countries.

Coseteng said, "This Campaign, subtly and sometimes overtly promoted through Traditional and Social Media, threatens to tear apart our Nation. Suppose we do not address this Issue immediately and adequately. In that Case, it will spiral into a full-blown Hate Campaign, not just against China but against the Chinese Filipino Community among us."

She warned that the Country is now on the brink of War, noting the actual consequences of Conflict were beyond the immediate loss of Life and Destruction but included the irreparable damage it leaves behind for Generations to come.

"War creates untold loss, division and polarization among People. The Scars it leaves behind are not just physical but deeply psychological, ripping apart the very fabric of Societies," she said.

Coseteng said that being Filipino Chinese, she was subjected to "Sinophobic remarks from supposedly well-educated friends." The Incident, she said, was a disturbing indication of how anti-China Rhetoric is increasingly blurring the Lines between Chinese and Filipino Chinese.

Coseteng added that many Filipino Chinese, including those who have been running legitimate Businesses for generations, now feel targeted by discrimination. She said disregarding the Contributions of Filipino Chinese to the Country's history and welfare would be not only counterproductive but also profoundly unfair.

Coseteng expressed skepticism about the Government's promise of protection for Filipino Chinese. "In a climate where aggression is tolerated and encouraged, what about ordinary Filipinos? How can they feel secure when the leaders meant to protect them enable such hostility?” She said.

The issue of the West Philippine Sea is being manipulated to cast the Chinese negatively, Coseteng added. Coseteng said the use of forged Immigration Documents was a Crime not unique to the Chinese. "Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Foreigners have gone through the same Procedures facilitated by Enablers within our Government," she added.

Coseteng said it would be hard for Illegal Operators to exist without help from Philippine Authorities. "We have yet to see the full force of the Law bring them to justice," she said. Coseteng said the Philippines needs an able Negotiator with China.

"This isn't like negotiating at a stall in 168 (a mall in Divisoria, Manila) where you just bring a Mobile Phone with a Translator and start talking. It's not that simple. These are long-term Discussions that cannot be resolved in two Days. This is about the future of our Country and the next generation. Hot-headedness and one-upmanship have no place here," she said.

"China, to me, is not a bully. It's a large Country, moving forward at high speed while we're still riding a Tricycle. It's a tough situation," Coseteng added.

A nice Article about the true State of Philippine Journalism as of now, under this Administration of President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM). As I have been saying, almost all of the Philippine Mainstream Media (MSM) right now don’t work for the Filipino People anymore, they work for whoever Oligarch it is that owns them, they basically are just the Propagandists of the Oligarchs. Here are some selected Excerpts from the Article:

“Even self-styled Guardians of Press Freedom, especially the US-funded Media Outfits like Vera Files, Rappler, the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, and the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility are exposed as Minions by this Binag Exposé. They have been totally silent on this Issue. Why? Because Marcos is a certified Puppet of the US, and these Entities can't defy the American Hand that feeds them. ABS-CBN's Karen Davila, whose "Head Start" Program has focused on one-on-one Interviews, and featured and interviewed hundreds of less Newsworthy Personalities, would have begged to interview Cathy Binag. She didn't. In fairness to Davila, that "don't" order would have come from the very top.”

“Such Control has become an Existential Requirement for the Marcos Clan. After two Years, he has inarguably been a bad President, even our worst, buoyed to remain in power by the US and Media. His US-prodded belligerence toward China, the Economic Superpower in Asia, will bring us to ruin. Doesn't he ever wonder why among Asean's 10 Members, it is only the Philippines that is hostile to China?”

“However, the steep rise in Newsprint Prices (the biggest cost for a newspaper), President Estrada's call to his Billionaire Friends not to place Ads in the Newspaper, President Duterte's move to wrest the lucrative Mile-Long Commercial Center away from the Rufinos took a heavy toll on the Paper and the Rufinos' Financials. A Year after Magsanoc died in 2015, the Rufinos took full control of its Editorial. It even dropped the Paper's original Slogan "Without Fear or Favor" that projected its crusade to expose corruption in Government — a signal to stop fighting the Government. The Paper is even afraid of ever losing control of its Editorial Side by not appointing an Editor-in-Chief, with an "Associate Publisher" competing in power with an "Executive Editor." There will be no more powerful Editor-in-Chief like Letty Magsanoc in the Inquirer the Rufinos have ensured.”

“Our Ambassador to Washington, Jose ("Babe") Romualdez, told me he owns substantial Shares in the Star. Romualdez's open Bias toward the US and his belligerency toward China explains why the Newspaper has become basically the main Propaganda Sheet for the American Lies in the South China Sea Dispute, with its Daily Messaging directly coming from Washington.”

I have been seeing Comments every now and then about how the Administration of President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) supposedly has not bought anything yet for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). It already has, actually, but the ones being reported by the News Organizations have not been many so far.

Hence I have decided to publish this Blog about what we know the PBBM Admin has bought as of now. Note that long time Followers of this Page know that I have also done something like this for the former Administrations of Rodrigo Duterte and Benigno Aquino III before.

Again like with the previous Administrations, this is a “running Blog”, it will be updated once in a while when new Information becomes available.

Here are Excerpts from the the Global Time’s (GT) latest Article about the China Coast Guard’s (CCG) new Regulations which the Administration of President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) said was a “Provocation”:

* “Marcos' hyping of CCG's Regulations came after the Philippine Foreign Ministry issued a Statement on Monday protesting China's implementation of the Annual Fishing Ban in the South China Sea, saying that it "raises tensions" in the South China Sea, despite the fact that this Chinese Policy has been widely recognized for its Ecological, Economic and Social Benefits as an important Means of conserving Marine Fisheries Resources in Waters around China.”

* “Experts reached by the Global Times noted that the recent Hype around the South China Sea Issue by the Philippines ahead of the 21st IISS Shangri-La Dialogue are aimed at creating some News Buzz and thereby helping the Country to turn the upcoming Conference into a Venue for promoting its Illegal Claims.”

* “"By hyping up China's recent Regulations, the Philippines is actually using this to attract international attention to China's Actions in the South China Sea, and attempting to portray China's legitimate Actions as a Challenge to the Philippines," Chen said. Given that the Philippine President will deliver a Keynote Address on Friday to mark the opening of the Shangri-La Dialogue, Chen predicted that Marcos will continue to mention this Matter and try to deceive the International Community for Sympathy.”

* “The Philippines' recent Series of Hype and Tough Rhetoric will only serve to worsen the existing Disputes between Beijing and Manila, heighten Regional Security Tensions, and draw increased International Attention to the South China Sea Issue, Analysts said.””

Nagpakilig sa mga netizen ang vlog nina Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. at Unang Ginang Marie Louise “Liza” Araneta Marcos na pang-Valentine’s Day ang peg dahil ibinahagi ng mga ito ang kanilang pribadong buhay bilang mag-asawa.

Sa kanyang vlog nitong Linggo (Pebrero 11), naging special guest ni Pangulong Marcos ang Unang Ginang kung saan ay naging mga “love guru” pa sila sa pagbibigay ng payo tungkol sa pag-ibig at sa magandang pagsasama ng isang mag-asawa at pamilya.

Sinagot nila ang random questions mula sa netizens gaya ng kung paano binabalanse ng Pangulo ang kanyang oras bilang isang ama at chief executive ng bansa.

Sabi ni Pangulong Marcos, lagi niyang sinisigurado na may quality time sila ni Gng. Marcos kahit na napaka-busy ng kanilang mga schedule.

“Basta’t whatever the schedule allows, we take full advantage of it,” ayon sa kanya.

Kahit busy nga sila ay mayroon pang “date night” ang First Couple tuwing Miyerkules kung saan ay lumalabas at kumakain sila sa paborito nilang restaurant at nagkukuwentuhan ng katatawanan upang mawala ang stress.

Ikinuwento pa ni Gng. Marcos na nagluluto si Pangulong Marcos sa kanilang bahay kapag may oras ito.

Sa tanong kung ano ang best quality ni Gng. Marcos, sinabi ng Pangulo na maalaga ito sa kanya at sa tatlo nilang anak na sina Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos III, Joseph Simon, at William Vincent.

Para naman kay Gng. Marcos, ipinagmamalaki niya ang Pangulo na isang mabait, matalino at napaka-pasensyosong tao. Sikreto sa pagsasama nila ang sense of humor at hindi hinahayaan na ma-stress sa kunsumisyon.

Payo ng Pangulo na mahalaga ang direct communication sa halip na mag-usap lamang sa telepono.

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has committed to prioritizing the well-being of the Filipino youth as part of the “Bagong Pilipinas” initiative, acknowledging their crucial role as future nation-builders.

“In the Bagong Pilipinas, the youth takes precedence because their future is our priority. Their primary focus will be environmental stewardship. The reforms we envision for our educational system should be prominently reflected in our classrooms,” Marcos declared during the Bagong Pilipinas kickoff on Sunday (28 Jan 2024).

The upcoming reform aims to provide students with books, highly skilled and motivated teachers, competitive salaries, and a thoughtfully curated online curriculum for effective learning.

Additionally, Marcos pledged to implement feeding programs to provide meals, ensuring that children can fully engage with their lessons and addressing hunger among learners.
