*********************************
PAHAYAG NG MAISUG
Alinsunod sa naging pasya ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa-Duterte, nais kong ipabatid sa lahat na HINDI TULOY ang pagdaraos ng HAKBANG NG MAISUG, isang payapa at malawakang PEACE RALLY, na nakatakdang ganapin mamayang 5pm sa Bustos, Bulacan.
Ang naging desisyon ay upang maiwasan ang anumang gulo at sakitan na maaring idulot ng lantarang PANGGIGIPIT ng pamahalaan para hindi matuloy ang ating PEACE RALLY.
Hindi po tayo papasupil sa pagmamalabis ng administrasyon. Antabayan po ninyo ang mga susunod nating pagkilos.
Protect and Defend the Constitution!🇵ðŸ‡
April 8, 2024: The US origins of BBM’s “Assertive Transparency” Strategy against China
This recent Article of The Manila Times (TMT) talks about the United States’ (US) origins of the “Assertive Transparency” Strategy that the Administration of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) is now using against China, and warns of its Negative Effects on the Philippines. Here are some selected Excerpts from the Article, the Link to which you can reach it is below:
* “From Washington's perspective, the Collaboration is designed to weaken China prior to a potential Taiwan Crisis. Tokyo shares the view. Though the Philippines is positioned to bear the most Risks and Losses, it is not entirely clear how it will benefit from the new Trajectory. Without Policy Recalibration, Manila seems to be stumbling into a major Geopolitical Minefield even before an expected Taiwan Crisis, while the Filipinos' trust in their Political Leaders' Domestic Policies is dwindling.”
* “During the Electoral Campaign, Marcos pledged he would build on Duterte's Legacy. After the Election, those Vows were turned upside down. In the SCS, the past cooperative approach was replaced with the Tactic of "Assertive Transparency," that is, "publicizing the aggressive aggressions of China. In Washington, the Tactic is portrayed as Manila's response to counter China. Yet, the Architects of the Policy seem to be linked with the US Department of Defense. Instead of just a narrow Information War of "Naming and Shaming," the Tactic involves broad Counterinsurgency Operations.”
* “In the Philippines, the use of the "Assertive Transparency" Doctrine has been paralleled by the plummeting of the Approval Ratings of President Marcos and other Government Leaders. The Decline is due to growing Filipino concern regarding Issues like Inflation, Corruption and perceived weak Leadership. In such circumstances, SCS Tensions are a convenient distraction away from Filipino Bread-and-Butter Issues — unless and until the SCS Tensions finally explode, in which Case those Issues will get a lot worse.”
