i genuinely wish the Philippines would act in the interests of its own people instead of taking orders from the US to facilitate the US military encirclement of China! China seeks only to trade and cooperate with the Philippines against neocolonialism and imperialism.
Sa totoo lang. Munting paalala lang na napakalaki nung pangangailangan sa pagkilos sa mga komyunidad, kahit napakadelikado dahil sa sistematikong paniniktik ng NTF-ELCAC sa mga progresibo. Pang-sagap ko na lang talaga ng balita/tsismis 'tong account na 'to eh no.
It's the massive redtagging campaign facilitated by NTF- ELCAC, not petty online squabbles on Twitter, that significantly damaged the Left's mass base, particularly in rural communities. Masyado naman nating minamalaki ang mga kashungahan natin sa twitter.
Lagi nating binabago ang kurikulum batay sa kung ano ang kailangan ng industriya, ng mga kapitalista, ng ibang bansa, hindi kung ano ang kailangan ng bayan. Kaya nagpo-prodyus tayo ng graduates na maglilingkod sa mga industriya, sa mga kapitalista, sa mga dayuhan, hindi sa bayan.
People who use pejorative terms like โtibakcloutโ against grassroots activists shouldnโt be engaged with in any meaningful way. They are not here to be reasoned with. They have decided long ago that they are against you and your cause.
Kaya hindi mali na manawagan at humingi ng accountability sa mga LGUs natin pati sa buong admin. sa tuwing 'di nakakatugon sa pangangailangan ng mamamayan ang DRR effort. Palagi namang paalala na "holistic" ang approach sa DRR effort, hindi lang ito nakatuon sa de lata at ayuda.
I'm often asked for "solutions" to our disasters when I critique DRR efforts. Only fair. No shortage of toolkits & tech out there either. But we need the right leaders to effectively implement these. The mother of all solutions is a government that actually serves the people.
So bakit nga ba tayo binabaha despite maraming "flood control" projects? @jamontalbs and I gave our thoughts on this question in our interview with @AJEnglish two weeks ago.

It is truly appalling to see these large corporations to exploit natural ecosystems for their self-interests, while weaponizing envi. hazards against communities calling for genuine service of basic public utilities. Never forget what Ayala-Solaire-NHA did to Sitio San Roque.

Since October 2023, over 37,100 lives in Gazaโmost of them women and childrenโhave been lost to relentless military aggressions led by the US-funded Israeli government.

Pero kidding aside, ingat ang lahat ngayong tag-ulan dahil sa malawakan na pagbaha. Tara pag-usapan natin sa Sabado yung sitwasyon ng flood control management sa Pilipinas. ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ปโจ Register lang sa provided link! โบ๏ธ

Umuulan na ulit, babahain na naman ba tayo?! Flood control projects sa Pinas, sapat ba?

One of my friends has been arrested earlier during the violent demolition in Donald Compound along F.B. Harrison St. in Pasay City.
He will reportedly face a direct assault chargeโand is currently detained at the Pasay City Police Station.
Free Benedict Macabenta now!
Nakakasuka lang mga companies/corporations na may-ari ng mga dambuhalang malls na nag popost na mag seserve sila as temporary shelters para sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo.
Una, isa kayo sa dahilan ng pagragasa ng bagyo dahil sa matinding land use conversions.

Context: I was an archi at a priv developer before
It's a private dev with for-profit motives that's why it works bec technically they were following the law the gov set out for developing property with regards to storm water handling (contentious if followed to the letter)
Ang mga serbisyo at aplikasyong inhinyeriya na dapat sana'y tutugon sa pangangailangan ng taumbayan, ay pakikinabangan lang ng mga namumuhunan. Hindi iyon ang tunay na aspeto ng kaunlaran. Ipagpatuloy ang panawagan para sa tunay na kaunlaran at hustisyang pangkapaligiran ng masa.
Kanina lang, nabalitaan kong lubog ulit ang Taliptip dahil sa bagyo. Hindi huminto ang mga residente't mangingisda ng Bulacan na manawagan para itigil ang reklamasyon sa Manila Bay pero hindi sila pinapakinggan. Ngayong panahon ng sakuna, sila ang lubos na magdurusa.
Took a bike ride over Taliptip yesterday. Putting up this thread to share insights in further understanding the plight of the communities over infrastructure projects that will only benefit the few and the elite, and trying to help them resonate their demands. #SaveManilaBay
Mula nung magsimula ang pagdadraga para sa Bulacan Aerotropolis nuong 2021, ay halos puro negatibong mga implikasyon nito ang nararanasan ng mga mamamayan at mangingisda sa Bulacan, dahil ang nakikinabang lang dito ay ang mga namumuhunan sa proyekto, hindi ang mamamayan mismo.
When you seek to impose sanctions on the people trying to hold war criminals to account, rather than sanctions on the war criminals.
The US House of Representatives has passed a bill that would impose sanctions on International Criminal Court judges, staff & their families.
Gagabihin na naman si Engr. dahil kailangang humabol sa deadline kinabukasan. Ang mahirap pa, "overtime with thanks" itong workload niya. Anong oras siya makakauwi? Makakapasok kaya rin siya kinabukasan? ๐ฅบ๐ท
Nararanasan niyo din ba ito, engineers? Tara pag-usapan natin!
