[Bilyonaryo News Channel @bncdotph]

P30,000 → P12,000 → P5,000? David Leechiu says some Metro Manila studios could hit that price within 12 months. Landlords brace. Renters, take note.

Chinese debt explodes

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

China has added more than $43 trillion in debt since Xi Jinping took power. That’s not a typo.

The Wall Street Journal’s latest reporting lays out the math: China’s total debt to GDP blew past 300% in 2025, up 60 points since 2019, now higher than the United States. Most of that growth didn’t come from Beijing’s own books, the central government’s debt stays relatively modest at around 30% of GDP. It came from local governments, through murky financing vehicles cities and provinces used to hit growth targets, many of them pouring money into real estate that then collapsed.

A broader IMF measure that counts both official local debt and those shadow vehicles puts China’s real government debt load at 127% of GDP, up from 98% just five years ago.

Here’s where the money went: factories and apartments nobody needed enough of. That mismatch triggered price wars, squeezed profits and wages, and now feeds directly into deflation and weak demand at home.

And it doesn’t stay home. Chinese companies carrying all that debt keep producing more cars, solar panels, and electronics than China itself can absorb. The surplus gets exported, undercutting prices everywhere else and fueling the trade fights now playing out with country after country.

Economists call this the real signature of the Xi era: investment-driven growth long after the investments stopped paying off. The capital controls and state-run banks mean China probably avoids a sudden collapse. What it doesn’t avoid is a slow bleed, years of suppressed returns and weaker growth, while everyone downstream absorbs the overflow.

Duterte’s network of allies and fixers are behind most crime syndicates operating in the Philippines

EX-BARMM MEMBER UNDER DUTERTE LINKED TO FOILED LAOS SHABU SHIPMENT -- DILG

JUST IN: Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla identifies a former Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliament member as the alleged financier of a major drug smuggling operation intercepted in Laos earlier this month.

Remulla said Sultan Edrieza Rimbang held the position during the Duterte administration.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency earlier said it was investigating the possible involvement of a Davao-based drug syndicate in the attempted smuggling of 521 kilograms of shabu -- the local methamphetamine hydrochloride -- on a chartered private jet in Laos. | @TristanNodalo

Philippine corruption remained the country’s biggest problem. No one is made accountable for fuckups

[Bilyonaryo @bilyonaryo_ph]

𝐇𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. 🧱

The government awarded a ₱179M contract in 2008 to restore part of Intramuros' historic walls.

Construction stopped in 2012.

By DOT's 2025 financial disclosures, the project had a revised cost of ₱191M and remained just 72.71% complete.

The original deadline? January 2011.

DOT acknowledges that attempts to resolve the stoppage failed.

Apocalypse in the Middle East

[X @Xking332]

The whole Middle East is heading towards a devastating catastrophe.

Yemen has once again bombed the hell out of King Khalid International Airport.

Saudi will most likely not reopen the airport on the 17th.

This is going to destroy Saudi's tourism industry and foreign investment.

If they reopen the airport, they will be gambling with the lives of passengers.

Saudi's major oil infrastructure is also being bombed almost every single week.

Several civilians are dying.

The Emir of Qatar has warned his citizens to prepare for the worst case scenario.

Qatar has realized the war isn't ending anytime soon.

The IRGC is even preparing kindergarten children for a multi year war.

Iran has now included The Story of Butterflies in new educational materials for children.

The Story of Butterflies is about the 168 school children who lost their lives in Minab.

The IRGC is preparing Iran's children psychologically under the self sacrifice campaign.

Because they believe this war could drag on even after Trump's presidency.

Iran is also threatening to cut off undersea internet cables.

Millions of people in the Middle East could completely lose Internet access in the coming months.

The IRGC believes the undersea internet cables will be the trigger for the next phase of the war.

Water. Internet. Food. Power cuts. Fuel.

All of these could be weaponized during Stage 2 of the war.

These could be far deadlier than missiles and drones.

An apocalypse could be on its way.

Oggi Musk ha minacciato di bloccare Starlink alle truppe ucraine. Che lo faccia o no importa poco: basta la minaccia a dimostrare che nessun governo deve affidare i propri sistemi strategici a un miliardario psicolabile.
Guai a farlo.

Saudi security risks increase

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is moving cautiously between heavily guarded palaces equipped with bunkers, accompanied by handpicked security guards, as Houthi attacks intensify.

Saudi officials say the kingdom is running low on interceptor missiles and struggling to protect its energy infrastructure and royal palaces.
