This is Wang Yi — the current Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China — telling the world that what China built on Panganiban/Mischief Reef was a shelter for fishermen, almost three decades ago.
It is worth remembering how far back that line goes.
In 1995, when the Philippines first discovered illegal Chinese structures on Panganiban/Mischief Reef, Beijing gave us this explanation: shelters for fishermen caught in bad weather. Nothing more.
Look at Mischief Reef today.
A nearly three-kilometer military-grade runway. Hardened hangars sized for fighter aircraft. Radar and sensor domes. Missile shelters. A deep harbor that berths People’s Liberation Army Navy and China Coast Guard vessels. An entire military base — built on a low-tide elevation that lies within the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of the Philippines, and which the 2016 Arbitral Award confirmed generates no maritime entitlement for China at all.
So the question is simple. If he could say this on camera as a younger man — convincingly, without flinching — how are we supposed to believe him now, after a whole career of saying it for the Chinese Communist Party?
And now the Chinese Embassy in Manila tells us that the Philippines is the one spreading lies.
We do not need to argue about who is telling the truth. We only need to compare what they said with what they built.

Let's not forget the 20M mysterious votes that came out of the private IP address inside Comelec during the second hour of vote counting. Votes that did not pass through the public network as required by law. That can happen again in 2028 unless Comelec is totally revamped.

Kapunan Questions VP Sara: Where Does the Travel Money Come From?
Atty. Lorna Kapunan says traveling while facing an impeachment trial could appear disrespectful to the court. And if the trips are being paid with personal money, she says another question follows: where are the funds coming from? #PolitikoTalks
Buang din pala itong si Attorne. Kaya nga naubos mga DDS senators dahil pinagkukulong dahil sa corruption. Sasabihin kapag pinakulong iniisa-isa sila. Kapag walang nakulong. Kulang daw sa aksyon.

@aldenrichards02 in Bulacan, giving relief to victims of the recent flooding… not expecting anything in return, but simply hoping to make a difference, inspire others, and remind us all of the power of compassion and kindness. ❤️
Sometimes, the greatest influence comes not from words, but from setting an example.
