Will Phillippines be left behind (again) in multipolar world?

CHINA brokers peace between Saudi and Iran, ending months of hostility. Chinese President Xi Jinping ...... with President Putin and presents a peace plan that the US quickly rejects, without giving an alternative. Taiwan's former leader Ma Ying-jeou and Brazil's Lula da Silva are scheduled to visit China in the coming week.

Around 40 African officials traveled to Moscow for the Russia‐Africa summit to discuss cooperation and the fight against the influence of "former colonial powers." Australia also stated it will not get involved in a US‐China conflict over Taiwan

......

Amid the US attempt to further militarize Asia, Indonesia and Vietnam have restated their position against getting "trapped by the US‐China rivalry."

......

Days before Xi arrived in Moscow, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Putin

......

Not reported is that the US is not a signatory to the ICC and even threatened the ICC with military use of force when the court's judges announced that they would investigate war crimes of US soldiers in Afghanistan. US Presidents Bush father and son Bush to Clinton and Obama started wars that led to millions dead or displaced, but there was no ICC investigation.

......

The collapse of two American tech‐focused banks, SVB and Signature Bank, the largest bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis, exposes another double standard where we see the US Fed quietly increased the money supply by $300 billion to backstop the failed banks, which will further worsen inflation — other countries have to sell off their sovereignty when they need a bailout.

Western "experts" and "think tanks" also regularly predicted the collapse of China's economy, but can't seem to prevent the regular cyclical US‐originated financial crisis.

The US have hijacked hundreds of billions of other people's money, i.e., Russians, Iranians, Venezuelans and Afghans. The UN has been warning that Afghanistan is facing a dire humanitarian crisis, where people the US promised to liberate after 20 years of war cannot even afford food and basic medicines.

The US Congress has gone after TikTok, which has garnered 150 million active users. During the Congress hearing, when CEO Shou Chew answered questions directly, the US representatives, like children throwing tantrums, cut him off and one even exclaimed "I don't trust what you're saying" without offering any counter evidence. Shouldn't America be more concerned about half of their population being addicted to mind‐numbing entertainment than China spying on them? China has restricted the hours of usage of mobile games for students.

......

the lower casualties among Filipino as compared to richer Western countries (as percent of population), show the Philippines response, especially being able to secure medicine and vaccines deliveries from China in the early critical months when Western countries blocked deliveries, had a direct role in saving our frontliners and opening our economy months earlier.

......

The Philippine Coast Guard's failure to contain the Mindoro oil spill has led to damaging the livelihoods of over 30,000 fisherfolk families and worsening environmental damage, with the oil slick reaching the heart of marine sanctuary Verde Island in Batangas. While our coast guards on the ground are overwhelmed with combating 800,000 liters of oil, the leadership has time to politicize the South China Sea. Why did Commodore Jay Tarriela take the role of our diplomats in DFA and only megaphoning incidents against China in the West Philippine Sea, but not those of Vietnam and other claimant states? Who profits from the politicization of our Coast Guard?

......

Admiral Artemio Abu has failed to activate available international forums that provide emergency resources and funds to be deployed in oil spill disasters. Instead Commandant Abu has opted to wait for Japan and US assistance, weeks into the oil-spill, which is already threatening to reach Palawan and Boracay.

......

Most western media fail to report that poverty incidences decreased, and fish catch increased for Filipino fishermen in South China Sea (during 2015‐2018 as reported by PSA), which belie the painting of most media that Filipino fishermen are victimized by China.

......

The same "experts" fail to report that Vietnam is currently undergoing 10 large reclamations, were reported to be the most frequent poachers in Philippine coastline, and actually stole Pugad Island... or that Malaysia refused to even discuss status of Sabah that has over 400,000 Filipinos

......

Without conditions, China donated two new bridges in Manila worth over US$120 million, another US$100 million loan was forgiven, billions worth of relief and medical donations were delivered during the pandemic and calamities when we needed them the most.

Taiwan, with no US military base, receives up to US$2 billion a year from America. Pakistan, which has robust economic and military ties with China, receives US$5 billion from the US. President Marcos Sr. made the US pay over US$200 million a year for their military bases in Clark and Subic in the 1980s. Why did none of our other Asean neighbors accept additional military bases from the US? We should look to the north for economic opportunities not for additional trouble

......

There is a fierce race among nations to prepare their people and economies for a world that is moving into a more multipolar world; the next few years will be critical.
