Here is the aforementioned poll ...

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

How many countries in Asia and the Pacific are classified as ‘fragile and conflict-affected situations’?

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

Please feel free to vote in this poll based on a report I worked on for @ADB_HQ (expand the thread to vote)

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

Populations in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS) are particularly vulnerable to climate change, violence, debt distress, and shocks.

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

Just a little something I worked on for
@ADB_HQ

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

ADB is intensifying its focus on countries classified as fragile and conflict-affected situations.

Fragile countries face elevated risks and lack the capacity to manage, absorb, or mitigate them.

Which of the following are considered drivers of fragility?

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

@AnnaMalindogUy Oh, and by they way, how did BBM respond to those questions during the presidential debates and his interviews with the media. Oh wait, HE WASN'T AT THOSE DEBATES. And he DIDN'T CONDUCT SUCH INTERVIEWS. Coward.

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

@AnnaMalindogUy I have still yet to read an endorsement of BBM's policies by one of his supporters. This hatchet job on Leni certainly does not qualify. To suggests that BBM might be pro-Russia on Ukraine, and pro-China on the SCS shows zero respect for the territorial integrity of Ukraine or Ph

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

@AnnaMalindogUy The article says nothing about BBM's policies - outside of praising him for likely being pro-China and anti-US, and is just a negative hit job on Leni. The BBM camp has no platform, and resorts to slinging mud and lies about Leni while whitewashing the sins of the elder Marcos.

@Healthy_Holiday @celbrash @TourismPHL @tpbphl @Philippines_UK @explorephils @TheSmartLocalPH Sorry for delay. Get thyself to Cervantes (via Sta maria or Tagudin in Ilocos), then go Bontoc-Tinglayan. That's the shorter, scenic route - might not be a ton faster than going around to Tabuk though. I'm not sure whether rd east of Bangued is passable - was really rough before

Два слова - и ты в автозаке: сколько нужно секунд, чтобы тебя задержали на Манежной площади. Спойлер: полторы #StopPutin #StopWar

Written down like this Zelenskiy’s address tonight reads like a powerful poem.

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

@celbrash Are you OK Celeste?? Fingers crossed this goes away.

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

@leonidragozin @AJEnglish Good stuff, Leo. I do wonder whether, had the west appeased him with a guarantee that Ukraine never join Nato, Putin would have ultimately pursued an aggressive policy in Ukraine anyway - it's the billion-ruble question, and frankly one that only Putin knows the answer to.

[Greg Bloom @AsiaBloom]

Solid stuff.
Can Marcos Jr. be disqualified? https://t.co/Zr8991Jnsk

Not even remotely shocking
