December 21, 2022: Why is our Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) complaining about China’s supposed “Reclamation” but not those of Vietnam which reportedly occurred about the same time? Why the silence on Vietnam but all the noise against China when President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) is set to visit China next Month of January 2023? Kindly explain, Secretary Enrique Manalo

December 20, 2022: American Companies like Apple are now reportedly moving from China to Vietnam instead of our Country which is supposed to be an “Ally” of the United States (US) and has a Defense Treaty with us. Vietnam doesn’t do Defense Treaties with other Countries, that is one of the main Pillars of their Foreign Policy. So the US don’t pay RENT for Military Access to our Bases, their Companies don’t go to us to set up Shop, what then are the use of these Americans to us? NONE. That is why all they do is constantly do Psychological Operations (PsyOps) to scare us against China

American Propaganda targeting to make PBBM look “Weak” if he doesn’t antagonize China

Headlines about the Anti-China"Swarming" Propaganda Hysteria

One thing you will notice is that the Pinklawan Philippine Press have lately started to make a lot of Noise again about Chinese Ships reportedly “Swarming” the South China Sea (SCS). They have been using that Propaganda every single Year for the last several Years now, as I pointed out in my Posts and Blogs before. 

What happens is that they get these Filipino Academicians who are kissers of American A$$es to start telling things about the “Swarming”, and the Pinklawan Press broadcasts it. Then they got some National Politicians to GRANDSTAND about it. 

2022 United States (US) and Allies Accidents

December 18, 2022: The HTMS Sukhothai (FS-442), a Ratanakosin class Corvette of the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) that was built in the United States (US) recently sank in the Gulf of Thailand after it lost power and water started to flood into its Hull. The Ship was commissioned into service in 1987, is 77 m long, has a displacement of 960 tons and is armed with eight RGM-84 Harpoon Anti-Ship Missiles and at least eight Aspide Surface to Air Missiles (SAM)

December 15, 2022: Another F-35 Lightning II Stealth Fighter Aircraft crashed in the United States (US) recently after it malfunctioned while conducting a Hovering Test. The Pilot was able to safely eject from the Aircraft. This is at least the fourth crash this Year of 2022 alone involving the F-35. If this had been a Russian or Chinese Aircraft, the Propaganda would’ve been because they are of “Low Quality”. That is the power of American Propaganda and Gaslighting, wherein four Aircraft from the same Family crashes in one Year and nobody comments about its “Quality”

December 19, 2022: “US backs Philippines call for China to respect Law of the Sea” – Just more PROPAGANDA from the Americans and their Filipino Dogs. How exactly did they “back” us, aber? Only thru WORDS? ‘Laway lang puhunan nila, me libreng Ba-se na sila sa Pilipinas. Palakpak Tenga naman ng mga taga samba sa Pw3t ng mga Kano’ (With only Saliva as their “Investment”, they have rent-free Bases here already in the Philippines. And the Filipinos who worship their American A$$es clap their Ears at the thought of that)

December 16, 2022: “US Military support for Philippines in the South China Sea is no sure Thing” - It was never a “sure thing”, but some A$$ Kissers of the Americans are so in love with the United States (US) that they insist on hating the US’ rival China so much. And at the same time just giving away Sabah to Malaysia, as in, “Inyo na iyan, enjoy …" (It’s yours, enjoy …). Meanwhile, quoting from the Article itself, “Even if there is a clear-cut attack by China’s Military on Philippine Forces, US Military intervention is no sure thing. The Philippines must officially invoke the Mutual Defence Treaty, and there could be considerable backroom Negotiations with the US whether it should do so”

AFP 87th Anniversary Public Access Confusion

AFP Spokesman Statement to a News Organization

Last December 16, 2022, the Spokesman of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was quoted in a News Article saying, “Everyone is invited to join us on this momentous occasion. The anniversary program can be viewed on Monday at 2 p.m. on the RTVM Facebook Page” 

Based on this, I thought that the Event would be open to the Public. But when I arrived at the Camp Aguinaldo Gate at around 11:45 am, it was closed and the Guard there told me that only those with the Proper Clearance were allowed to go in.

December 12, 2022: The Myanmar Air Force reportedly started receiving last Month the FTC-2000G Mountain Eagle Combat Aircraft they bought from China. The FTC-2000G is similar to our FA-50PH Fighting Eagle Aircraft, but costs only Usd 9 million each in terms of Unit Price. Aside from Myanmar, China and Sudan also operate the Aircraft. The FTC-2000G is the Export Version of the JL-9 which was developed from the Mig-21, so it is a “Descendant” of the Mig-21

August 31, 2022: The Country of Bangladesh recently bought 36 more of the F7BGI Fighter Aircraft from China, but no other Details of the transaction was released. Bangladesh had bought 16 F7BGI Aircraft in 2012, so this brings their total number of F7BGIs to 52. The F7BGI is a license built version of the Mig-21, but modernized and with China making some improvements of its own on the Aircraft. The F-7 Series has been very successful as an Export Fighter Aircraft for China, with 13 other Countries buying it and around 2,400+ Aircraft being built

December 17, 2022: After at least Months of speculation, the armed Philippine Communists have finally admitted that Joma Sison, the Founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), is finally, DEAD. This is very good, but we must not lose sight of the fact that the more important thing to happen is for the armed Component of the CPP, the New People’s Army (NPA) to be totally eradicated from the Face of the Earth. Our Armed Forces needs to have a decisive and total victory over those Insurgents, and hopefully it will happen soon
