If China agrees to resupply Construction Materials to the BRP Sierra Madre in exchange for Joint Military Exercises, then the Philippines should agree to it

ORF: China-Philippines Relations: Will Joint Military Exercises improve Ties?

This Article from the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) Website is suggesting that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) agree to a Joint Military Exercise by China to reduce Tensions between the two Countries. 

All I can say is, if China will agree that they will not block the sending of Construction Materials to the BRP Sierra Madre (LT-57) at Ayungin Shoal in exchange for such Exercises, then I say the Philippines should go with it. 

Is BBM’s Anti-China Posture just a DISTRACTION to cover up the slowdown of the Philippine Economy under his Administration in Q2 2023?

GMA News: Philippine Economic Growth slows down further at 4.3% in Q2 2023

Buried in all the Anti-China HYPE and News lately is the fact that the Philippines missed it’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth Rate Target of 6-7% in Quarter Two (Q2) of this Year of 2023, growing instead to only 4.3%. 

This is almost 2% lower than the lower end of the Government’s Target and the slowest Growth in nine Quarters or since 2021. Remember though that in 2021, the Philippines was still at the height of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Pandemic, whereas in Q2 2023, the Pandemic was already towards the end of it.

US continues to stay SILENT about Joint Patrols with the Philippines at Ayungin Shoal, only Pro-US Fiipinos keep BARKING about it

CNN Philippines: Experts suggest PH, Allies hold Joint Patrols during next Resupply Mission to Ayungin Shoal 

Weeks after the Water Cannoning Incident at Ayungin Shoal, the United States (US) continue to remain SILENT about the Idea of them escorting Philippine Forces there. So far, only the Pro-US Filipino Slaves keep BARKING about it (Arf, Arf, Arf!!!). 

If these Pinoy US Slaves had any Brains, they would’ve noticed this by now, but apparently they haven’t yet since they are just too SLOW in Terms of thinking. They are, because they aren’t they never would’ve sided with the US.

While BBM seeks closer ties with Vietnam, China is accelerating its Investments in Vietnam

Vietnam+: China accelerates investment in Vietnam

China also now is the County with the most Number of Projects in Vietnam with 325. Among the major Chinese Projects investing in Vietnam just for this Year alone are the following: 

Philippines could lose Exports, OFWs, Loans and Grants from China if we Boycott their Products – Chief Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile

Abante Headline: "Enrile on Zubiri's China boycott: 'Don't be careless'"

The Chief Legal Counsel of the Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) Administration and former Defense Secretary Juan Ponce Enrile (JPE) shared the same Position as Senator Chiz Escudero when he recently said that he is against the Boycott of Chinese Products that was being pushed by the mediocre Senate President and ‘Barkada’ (Close Friend) of BBM, Miguel Zubiri.

JPE says that the Philippines’ Exports to China will be affected, and so will our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who are in China now who are sending back home their Remittances. He also cites the Debts we have with China and the Donations/Grants that China is giving. 

Philippines will suffer a lot more than China if we go into an Economic War with them – Sen. Chiz Escudero

Politiko's Headline about Sen. Escudero saying that the Philippines will lose more in a Economic War with China

Senator Chiz Escudero continues to make a lot of sense when he said that the Philippines will suffer a lot more than China if we go into an “Economic War” with them as what that mediocre, Pro-United States (US) Senate President and ‘Barkada’ of Junior, Miguel Zubiri wanted to do.

Sen. Escudero correctly pointed out that 33% or a full one-third of our Imports and 16% of our Exports are to or from China, whereas from the Point of View of the Chinese Economy, our imports and Exports consists only of LESS THAN 1 to 2 %.
