I stayed in Vietnam for 22 days, working and traveling across the country, mostly solo. This was my first time traveling solo to a SEA country and for every woman out there I highly recommend Vietnam because it’s safe, cheap & people are so nice.

More than 4,600 Chinese nationals have reportedly enrolled in a private university and rented homes in various locations in Tuguegarao. https://t.co/RUHjVt6k2h | via @onenewsph
Duterte: I am very certain that the United States is giving instructions to the Philippines not to be afraid (to provoke), because the United States will support Manila. However, I don't think the United States will die for us.
The United States encourages the Philippines to provoke, then asks photographers to record footage of Chinese ships blocking Phi ships, and then uses media hegemony to protray China as "bullying" the Phi, stirring up anti-China populism within the Phi, which will further promote the Phi government to further provoke China.
Very sophisticated operations. Americans are very experienced with this kind of thing.
Quite the extraordinary interview of former Philippines president Duterte:
"When I was elected as president then (in 2016), I tried to craft an independent foreign policy, not really against America. I have no quarrel with America. But the problem was our foreign policy was dovetailing theirs, and not so good with China. So I started on a neutral foreign policy. I announced to the world that I had no friends and no enemies to fight. I just want to be neutral. And I did not have to kowtow to anybody's foreign policy, especially the Americans. [...]
Most of the ASEAN countries have followed a very neutral, independent foreign policy. I would have wanted that... That is why I slowly detached myself, and, at least in foreign policy, and announced to China that we are not enemies, that we have never been, and never will be in our lifetime.
Here in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), when I was president, there was no quarrel. We can return to normalcy. I hope that we can stop the ruckus over there, because the Americans are the ones pushing the Philippine government to go out there and find a quarrel and eventually maybe start a war.
So I am very sure of that - America is giving the instructions to the Philippine government to 'not be afraid because we will back you up.' [...]
I am sorry for my country. I am not the president anymore. I cannot run. But if there is a way we can reverse the situation, we might find a way inside to implode somewhere. And if God would allow it then perchance I would be able to reverse the situation. I would remove the bases.
And I would tell the Americans, you have so many ships, so you do not need my island as a launching pad or as a launching deck for you."
Neil Gaiman batting for the Israeli occupation state is sending me back to that nightmare era when many Filipino authors ditched their dignity, fawned and wet their pants over getting a white man to validate them. The Palestinian Resistance is going to free all of us in the end

Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, bravely confronts US President Joe Biden right to his face:
“You ask us to condemn Russia in Ukraine, but stay muted on the Israel’s atrocities of killing women and babies in Gaza.”
🔥🔥🔥
Indonesian Pres. Joko Widodo surprises Joe Biden by calling on the US "to do more to stop the atrocities in Gaza," declaring that a "ceasefire is a must for humanity." Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, and millions have rallied there in recent weeks.
I’d be this pissed too if hamas offered to release me as a hostage and my own country refused.
Israel has already killed 50 israeli hostages through their airstrikes on Gaza BTW

Breaking: Israeli strike destroys a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) depot in central Gaza, incinerating what few crucial supplies the densely populated strip had left.
Another shocking war crime to add to the pile.
