… to prevent USA war on China from reaching USA shores.
Food and shelter are human rights. Mothers and children are entitled to special care. Whether born in or out of wedlock, children shall enjoy equal social protection.
The last time the Americans were in the Philippines they left behind 6,000 fatherless babies. Citing: The RINJ Foundation and Time: The Children the U.S. Military Left Behind in the Philippines.
Apart from Myanmar whose current criminal government killed three of our publisher’s local humanitarian workers, and the DPRK which is a desperate collective mental health case suffering massive PTSD since America killed three million of North Korea’s citizenry with carpet bombing, there are no bad guys inside Asia until the Americans arrive. Otherwise, there is only a race to fix the human condition with some regions doing better than others, even arguably at the expense of neighbors.
If a billion people eat more seafood from mismanaged oceans and fisheries, somebody else will be going hungry where three billion people wait to eat.
China owes its neighbors an explanation. Stepping in to regionally manage depleting fisheries is a violation of some nations’ sovereignty. China should have explained and created a multinational consortium.
Current antipathy toward China within the Philippines is copacetic to the American goal of militarily destroying China’s development and current status as a primary global economic player.
The Philippines archipelago, a south wall to the South China Sea, is to be fully exploited by America. Don’t believe the lies coming from Manila.
The antipathy toward China in the Philippines is born of China’s disdain for the Philippines’ and a half dozen other small countries’ territorial sovereignty claims.
China has attempted management of the Philippines’ grossly mismanaged fisheries and regional territorial seabed assets. Arguably, China is stealing from the Philippines just like America does and has done for over a century. China has become the perceived bane of the subsistence of families relying on food from the seas in south Asia which all countries grossly mismanaged. China is a giant nation with a billion and a half mouths to feed. When China has dinner, there is not much left at the table.
Wake up. These problems must be solved. War is not the answer, America, Manila.
‘President Biden has found a somewhat surprising new ally in the fight against China’. But thousands of Filipinos have taken to the streets this week demanding that growing American military forces leave the Philippines. Starting in May angry protests against “Marcos’ sell-out of the Philippines to America for a war against China” have drawn awareness to bad government as food becomes unavailable to many Filipinos.

Emerging sophistication among giant ASEAN governments failed proper fisheries and ocean asset conservation in a timely manner and most are quick to blame China. That is not entirely fair. China has urged conservation cooperation while at the same time failing to keep its rambunctious industry within the lanes of international law and conservation cooperation.
China, unlike any nation on Earth has taken a billion persons from poverty and raised the human condition of a massive nation in 4 decades. Unfortunately, it in part resorted to near-piracy.
The regional fisherfolk are exasperated by the outcome of their own horridly mismanaged fisheries and ocean resources. Large fishing companies hog and destroy the fishing beds for the small-operation fisherfolk sector which feeds millions. China’s merchant marine and fishing corporations too, with outright piracy, gave neighboring fisherfolk something else to blame apart from their own regional greed and fisheries mismanagement issues.

At least four billion people face depleted fish stocks because of overfishing and gross conservation fails.
China, with an 800 million population climbing out of poverty these past 40 years has been overfishing illegally all over the world for a ready and steady home market. China’s outrageous policies in the South China Sea are destructive to the peace and impossible to live with for the surrounding nations.

The following miracle of China’s human development is what America seeks to destroy, backed by a corrupt U.N., NATO’s arms dealers, a corrupt EU, and the FVEY very racist Anglosphere
The paramount human right is food and shelter.
Article 25 states:
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of his/herself and of her/his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.
In the cases of both (1) and (2), nothing could be further from the minds of the Philippines leadership, and the predators in Washington D.C. and Arlington, Virginia. But that must change.
“Within a span of 40 years, China has lifted about 800 million people out of absolute poverty and become the second-largest economy in the world,” noted China Daily indisputably in 2021.
“In 1980 China’s per capita GDP was $194.80－10 percent of Brazil ($1,947.28) and 73 percent of India ($266.58). But thanks to years of good economic management and rapid growth, its per capita GDP increased by more than 58 times to $10,216,6 in 2019－nearly 5.45 times of India ($2,099.60) and 1.31 times of Brazil ($8,717.20), according to World Bank data.”
“China’s economic performance over the past four decades has been the envy of the world. To top it, it eradicated absolute poverty last year. The UN Millennium Development Goals Report of 2015 said the goal to reduce global poverty by half by 2015, compared to the 1990 level, was possible primarily because of China’s powerful performance.
“In 2012, about 100 million people in China were still living in absolute poverty. Taking note of that, President Xi Jinping later stressed that elimination of poverty was one of the three “tough battles” China was fighting, which it would win by the end of 2020. The other two were to reduce environmental pollution and prevent risks.” Citing a China Daily report.
The answer is not to further militarize the region.
There are enough American nuclear weapons already in the region to destroy the Earth several times over based on what we learned from the Trump administration.
The Marcos/Duterte government today claims that the massive buildup of the American military in the Philippines is more about dealing with the effects of climate change and that the USA had not been invited to take over Philippines military bases to use in attacks against China. But the Americans have a totally different plan which is 100% clearly stated.
Visible in the Philippines is the incipient military takeover of northern Luzon island. The Marcos/Duterte regime has handed over the Philippines to the only country to ever kill many millions of Asians, some of them with nuclear weapons.
Arguably, Philippines sovereignty, now somewhat belittled, is threatened more by America than China. America’s hegemony completely denies Philippines’ sovereignty in all contexts but provides nothing in return. This American behaviour has been seen all over the world.
Civil Society protests against polluting & militarizing the Asian Seas by China, America, European Union, Canada, Britain and Australia.
Disputes in the Asian Seas involve both island and maritime claims within the region of the Asian Seas by several sovereign states, namely Japan, Brunei, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
Entering into the fight are warships mainly from the United States, supported by warships from India, Australia, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, and the Philippines in a much smaller capacity.
Supporting the fight against China are an estimated 300 thousand troops mostly from America and supported by Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Additional nuclear warhead ballistic missiles were introduced into the region in 2019 by America according to then Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.
The AUKUS is an Asian Seas initiative, a nuclear submarine project to give to Australia, American and British nuclear technology. It will also facilitate sharing of information in a number of artificial intelligence, underwater warfare systems, and quantum, cyber-, and long-range strike capabilities. Australia’s Scott Morrison said Australia will also enhance its long-range strike capabilities through the purchase of Tomahawk cruise missiles and extended range Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles.Click image to enlarge.

Putting the weapons of the neighbor’s enemy into the Philippines is fatal to Philippines Sovereignty. Fatal. America’s President is already bragging he controls the country.
America will be moving its NATO group into the region with the first liaison office in Japan and the next in Manila. The goal is to further sales and multinational coordination of U.S. arms distribution. This is not a wish list. The moves are under way.
Every region, like Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, North Korea, among the 400 that the United States has interfered with, and each of the at least 7 regions the U.S. has overthrown, have become a human disaster area. Period. The Philippines is next if Xi Jinping loses his patience with America’s failing hegemon.
Bongbong Marcos displays extreme bad character with his lies about the past and his complicity with crime and with the murderous Marcos and Duterte regimes over which Bongbong Marcos continues to thwart the efforts of the International Criminal Court which seeks to do its lawful work.
“Bongbong is our principal worry. He is too carefree and lazy,” warned his ruthless, self-absorbed psychopathic dictator father in a diary entry that became public.
In 1975, his father sent Bongbong to study at Oxford University for a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Records indicate he failed twice miserably to graduate which Bongbong denies.
Truth is not what one should expect from Mr. Marcos or his Duterte dynasty confreres.
The current Philippines President is personally and desperately in the grip of American lawfare with a massive contempt of court charge amounting to nearly 400 million dollars hanging over his head, personally as the executor of his father’s estate, $billions stolen from the Philippines people, some of whom won wrongful-death human rights court cases against the Marcos regime which have not been paid and hang over the current Philippines’ President’s head.
The Duterte dynasty may have made a fatal mistake getting into bed with the Marcos dynasty which bankrolled Duterte’s cosmic rise to power from his violent mayorship in Davao. Duterte reciprocated by helping Marcos and his daughter become the new Marcos/Duterte killer regime. They have killed the Philippines which Rodrigo Duterte loves.
Bongbong Marcos is more than what his father described. He is the quintessential liar denying all the massive human rights wrongs of his parental presidential predecessor which along with the exploitive record of the Americans in the Philippines makes the selling out of the Philippines to its neighbor’s avowed enemy a despicable caper. He is also denying the due of Court awardees for wrongful death during the first Marcos regime.
If America were to play a larger role in good governance in the Philippines, and if the USA could reduce the pervasive corruption and government complicity in organized crime in the Philippines, it would be a positive development.
There is a general consensus among Asian academics that China would do a better job running the Philippines if offered.
Infrastructure is desperately needed and Xi Jinping has a ready-made solution for cleaning out corruption. But who would want that immense job?
The Philippines government is renowned for its controls and mechanisms for mining the population in the provinces, all of those regions disconnected from the levers of power in Manila.
America has not been a good governor of the Philippines although it has left some benefit in its previous ownerships of the Philippines. Nevertheless, the USA was tossed out on its ass in the late 1980s from the Philippines, with cause. Only the old timers remember but most of them were killed by COVID-19.
One must remember that Ferdinand Marcos Junior was the running mate of Rodrigo Duterte in 2016 and although Marcos lost the election in 2016, usurped by the extraordinary humanitarian, Leni Robredo, he stayed on as part of the Duterte Administration.
Robredo, although winning the position of Vice President in the Philippines became a Duterte-marginalized VP—sidelined by Duterte while Marcos sat at the right hand of Duterte conducting the worst but most ignored human rights violations in the world.
Filipinos have been ruled by numerous foreign interests including Spain, America, Japan, and are among the most oppressed humans on the planet. Their subservience is a certain trained eagerness to please in exchange for any crumbs they can beg from their oppressors, meanwhile they work like slaves day and night to the benefit of their oppressors.
Precursor Period of the Philippines Bred an oppressed Society in the years 900-1565
The vast majority of the people living in the early barangays of the archipelago were the subservients to a class of debtor-bondsmen called “alipin” or “oripun”. Among the members of the nobility class were leaders who held the political office of “Datu,” which was responsible for leading the autonomous social groups called “barangay” or “dulohan”. Overall, the masses produced crops and mined the archipelago islands to the benefit of the nobility class, supervised by the barrangay leaders. Today that is still true.
Not much has truly changed. Farmers in the provinces of the Philippines today work for next to nothing as do mining workers and transportation operators who all work to the benefit of the dynasties running the country which continue to mine the population to the point of near destruction.
Infrastructure in the Philippines is virtually non-existent. Health care is third world and the government refuses to spend money on the people. A massive percentage of the monies generated by the population end up in the pockets of government officials in the most corrupt and dangerous society where journalists and critics are murdered or victims of lawfare.
Biden allegedly claims he controls Marcos
Rumours in Delaware are rife with stories about Joseph Biden claiming he controls the son of the Philippines’ former kleptocratic dictator. This is no joke. That corrupt, criminal dynasty is back in power in the Philippines. The current President of the Philippines is the son of Ferdinand Marcos, a brutal dictator who died in exile. President Rodrigo Duterte, allegedly under investigation by the ineffectual Internatinal Criminal Court is the election-sponsor of the current Marcos/Duterte government.
That speaks for itself and why and how the USA manipulates the Philippines government.
How did the USA buy its way back into the Philippines: A Reputation for being the most Corrupt Country in the World
“The Philippines is perceived to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Of 180 countries, the Philippines ranked 116 in terms of being least corrupt. This means that the country is almost on the top one-third of the most corrupt countries, based on the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) published by Transparency International,” writes Raymond A. Abrea of the Philippines Daily Inquirer.
Structured corrupted systems in the Philippines follow well-established patterns.
Business influence corruption are prevalent in Philippines history wherein politicians sell their influence over business and government connections.
Elite cartels tend to run Manila wherein politicians collude to protect their influence and payments; and
Ranked dynasty corruption is a way of life in the Philippines. Oligarchs or moguls like Dictator Ferdinand Marcos buy their public office. These moguls are the top political figures who face few or no constraints to their manipulation of wealth moved toward their dynasties.
