October 31, 2022: Just an interesting View on the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) with the United States (US) which President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) intends to fully implement under his Administration. Like it or not though, PBBM has the right to run the Philippines’ Foreign Policy anyway he wants to just like Duterte did. The Filipinos who kiss America’s A$$ are so happy with this, but if it’s any consolation, PBBM does seem to intend to maintain cordial relations with China also

September 24, 2022: President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) has been talking up a lot, and I mean a LOT about the Philippines’ relations with the United States (US) recently that admittedly I was beginning to become uncomfortable about it. However, it seems that PBBM is wisely not limiting his Foreign Policy only to the US but also to other Countries like Russia. His idea of possibly getting Oil and Fertilizer from them is absolutely fantastic, the Philippines should not be made to suffer for the West’s stup1d Economic War against Russia. PHILIPPINES FIRST!!! Go, PBBM!!!

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) Movie Review

All Quiet on the Western Front Poster by Netflix

The Movie is set during the last Year of the First World War and is told from the German Point of View. It follows a Soldier named Paul Baumer right from his recruitment into the Army and up to the end of the War. 

It is a bit long at with around two and a half Hours of Running Time, and there is a slow spot near the Middle for me, but overall it is a pretty good one. 

2022 Russia-Ukraine War Notes, October 28, 2022

A composite Image of the Flags of the Russian Federation and Ukraine and the War Title

Here are News Reports and some of my thoughts on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War:

* US’ GDP contracts for the 2nd straight Quarter in 2022, nears Recession 
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States (US) declined or grew at a Negative Rate for the second straight Quarter of this Year of 2022, putting them on the brink of an Economic Recession. The Negative Growth is mainly due to the Economic Sanctions they imposed on Russia which are now coming back and blowing up in Senile US President Joe Biden’s thick Face

* Amnesty International says Ukraine uses Civilians as Human Shields
The International, Non-Governmental Human Rights Organization “Amnesty International (AI)” itself said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are endangering Civilians by setting up Military Bases in Residential Areas like Schools and Hospitals, and launching Attacks from Populated Civilian Areas. The Russians have been saying this for so long now and even showing Evidences, good that AI was willing to tell the truth and defy Western Propaganda

PBBM Relative thanks US first for Covid-19 Aid instead of China

PNA Headline on House Speaker Romualdez thanking the US for its Covid-19 Aid to the Philippines

Why is the House Speaker Martin Romualdez thanking the United States (US) first for their Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Aid and not China when in fact it was China who aided us first with their Vaccines MONTHS before the US even started sending theirs, probably saving tens of thousands of Filipino lives? 

Note that Martin Romualdez is another Blood Relative of President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) and the Owner of the Manila Standard News Publication. Also another relative of PBBM, Jose Manuel Romualdez is the Philippines' Ambassador to the US. 

President Bong Bong Marcos' (PBBM) Term Infrastructure Review, 2022

October 18, 2022: I got to use the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) recently, and the first thing I noticed that instead of going inside the Property of the PITX Terminal, the Buses were allowed to just drop their Passengers off at the Street leading to the Terminal. 

Add in the fact that they closed most of the Doors on the side of the Terminal except one and it resulted in a long walk for Commuters from where the Bus let us off to inside the Terminal. I asked about the closed Side Doors at the Information Desk, and they told me they were being opened only during Rush Hours. 

On the positive side though, the Terminal was now a lot less chaotic than it was before. There were less People inside and much less Buses around the Terminal. It was colder inside also, and the Comfort Rooms were now all operational. It generally just looked cleaner compared to just a couple of Months ago. 

Waiting time for the Buses to my destination was short, although of course this depends on where you are going. Overall I liked the “new look” of the Terminal, except for that long Walk which they need to fix. 

October 15, 2022: Took the Mass Railway Transit-3 (MRT-3) yesterday (Friday, October 14, 2022) at around 4 pm. The Trains and Train Station looked clean and well-maintained, the Trains were fast and the Waiting Time for them were short. It was also cool inside even if it was fairly hot and humid outside. Not that many People at that time as I was able to get a Seat. I hope this goes on for the rest of President Bong Bong Marcos’ (PBBM) Term, or even improved on

Marawi Exhibit Review - October 15, 2022

A Poster of the Marawi Exhibit by the AFP

A couple of Days ago I saw a Post by the Kalinaw News on their Facebook Page about the Marawi Exhibit which was going to be held at the Philippine Army (PA) Headquarters (HQ) Grand Stand. They also referred there a Link to register for anybody who wanted to go to the Exhibit. 

So I filled up the Form on the Link, and this Morning when I checked Google Maps for Directions, it kept telling me to go to the Army Gate along Bayani Road, so that’s where I went. However, when I got there, the Guards referred me to go to the PA Gym which was at the corner of Lawton Avenue and Bayani Road. 

The supposed Tourism Ban by China on the Philippines over the POGO Issue

The recent News Headlines on PTV and PNA about Zubiri and the supposed Travel Ban Issue by China

So just three Months into the new Administration of President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) and China has been again put in a negative light, this time over the issue of a supposed Tourism Blacklist. 

Senator Migz Zubiri was quoted by the Press saying that China’s Ambassador to the Philippines told him that the Philippines had been put on a “Travel Black List” over the Issue of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) which China opposes but the Philippines continues to operate.
