JUST IN🚨: In a historic environmental turnaround, Costa Rica has doubled its rainforest canopy over the last few decades, making it the very first tropical nation to fully reverse deforestation.
what is Pax Silica, why should Filipinos pay attention, and why we should reject it?
I did my own research and tried to explain it in the simplest and easiest way to understand. if i missed anything, feel free to add credible sources or corrections.

The gov is weak in supporting agriculture. Thailand now has better cultivation programs for UBE.
If gov stays like this, it’ll be macapuno all over again. Macapuno (the actual coconut variety) is more accessible in Thailand than PH, despite macapuno being a Filipino discovery.
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
Loren Legarda is lying through her teeth and gaslighting everyone.
The New Majority-12 did NOT elect a Senate President.
They declared all positions vacant with a quorum of 12 legally backed up by the Senate Rules, the Constitution, SC jurisprudence, and Senate practice.
Why should Legarda know this?
It’s because in May 2015 when three (3) of their fellow Senators were arrested for plunder and she was abroad on an official trip, they used a quorum of 12 out of 17 available Senators to conduct business.
Guess who was one of the Senators in 2015?
Yep, Loren Legarda. Along with Alan Peter Cayetano and Pia Cayetano. Resibo below. 👇
And not one of them objected or claimed the session was unconstitutional. Not one of them filed a case before the Supreme Court.
You are now in estoppel, Senator Loren.
So no, we won’t be gaslighted. 👊

O, hindi porke't umatend si Chiz kaya nagkaroon ng quorum ang Senate, ligtas na siya sa flood control scam ha. Kung may warrant, ikulong din 'yan. Ganun dapat.
“The people are our bosses. The masa, everybody. The street sweeper, the janitor, the security guard etc. are our boss because they elected us. Our powers emanate from the public so we have to respect that.
Kung yung amo namin ay nagtatrabaho, paano naman kaming mga utusan na nakaupo lang at pasarap-sarap? Mag-iinternet lang?
Samantalang 'yung amo namin, kailangan magtiis sa traffic, pumunta sa factory na mainit. Magtatrabaho 'yung construction worker, napaka-init ngayon ng panahon, pumupukpok doon. These are the people paying our salaries, Ms. Karmina, and yet for us in the comforts of our home, airconditioned? We don't need to go to the Senate for session kasi pwede ang teleconferencing, videoconferencing? Kaya nga we objected, nakakahiya!”
The questioning of THE Karmina Constantino and the response of Senator Erwin Tulfo??? LOUDER!!!!
"PATALSIKIN NA LAHAT SILA, THE [SENATE] MAJORITY"

Risa Hontiveros: Hindi ako sensitibo sa puna, sanay ako diyan. Pero ang pinakita po na video ay FAKE NEWS. Delivering a privilege speech is not the same as having the privilege to have fake news enter in the official records as if it were evidence.
