Iloilo City’s now famous Iloilo River Esplanade has inspired so many LGUs all over the country to develop their own riverbanks and transform them into public spaces which everyone can enjoy.
But have you heard of the newly-launched “Iloilo Sunset Boulevard”?
Malamang lulubog talaga Metro Manila kahit hindi Ondoy level ang ulan. Saan naman pupunta ang tubig-ulan kung na-reclaim ang Manila Bay? Today’s flood is brought to you by yet another Duterte legacy. 🤦🏻♂️
We have an education crisis. Isa ito sa mga mahahalagang issue na hindi natin masyado pinaguusapan. Dumadami at nagbabago ang mga problema, kaya dapat dumadami at nagbabago din ang mga solusyon.
Washington, we have a problem. THIS looks like a Chinese armed attack on Philippine naval assets within Manila's internationally-recognized EEZ. Simply reiterating America's "ironclad" commitment per MDT with Philippines will ring hollow. Hard to argue MDT has NOT been triggered.
For context, this is the location of the reef.
China is asserting their right to attack vessels that approach a reef over *800 miles* from their mainland.
JUNE 17 RORE - WHAT HAPPENED?
Two Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB) of the Philippine Navy reached BRP Sierra Madre to conduct the Rotation and Resupply Mission shortly before 6 AM. They were swarmed by at least eight RHIBs of the Chinese Coast Guard, which rammed into them and threatened them with knives, axes, and other deadly weapons. During the scuffle, Chinese Coast Guard personnel attached a rope to the Philippine Navy RHIBs and towed them away from BRP Sierra Madre. Once isolated, the Chinese Coast Guard then looted the firearms and personal effects of the Navy personnel onboard the RHIBs. They also destroyed the outboard motor of the RHIBs, rendering them inoperable, before abandoning them. Philippine Coast Guard RHIBs rescued the damaged RHIBs and the Navy personnel onboard around 11 AM.
This is contrary to the Chinese claim that their conduct was professional and restrained.
The CCG thought they destroyed all cameras & phones of the PN personnel they attacked. But it appears that there are evidences proving China's aggression and debunking China's narratives.
3 CCG boats harass the PN boat. Video shows which is conducting aggressive maneovers.

The People's Republic of China has once again attempted to provoke trouble in Ayungin Shoal. They clearly hope that the US will also be agitated to justify their false narrative that Washington really wants to go to war against Beijing. China intentionally fails to admit that their escalatory actions in the West Philippine Sea are a big gamble that would impact not just the region but the entire global trade.

She did not stay for questions nor did she offer any reason for her resignation. She's also deathly silent where China and POGOs are concerned. She also chose not to participate in any debates in 2022.
The less said the better? Kasi talking betrays her weak mind?
What China is doing to our territory should keep us up at night.
Tinanggalan na nga ng hanapbuhay ang mga mangingisda natin, ngayon naman ilang Pilipinong sundalo ang sugatan sa isinagawang resupply mission.
Walang ibang dapat maramdaman sa sitwasyon na ito kundi high blood at galit. Hindi natin dapat hinahayaan ito.
Dapat itigil ng China ang mga hakbang na lalong magpapatindi ng tensyon sa West Philippine Sea.

BREAKING:
Turns out the Chinese Coast Guard attack yesterday against the Filipino resupply mission to the BRP Sierra Madre in the 2nd Thomas Shoal was more aggressive than initially thought.
They overpowered the Filipino military personnel on one of the boats and confiscated the crew’s firearms.
A Filipino sailor lost host finger and many more were wounded from water cannons and Chinese ramming operations.
The Chinese Coast Guard towed one the Filipino boats away and stopped all 4 from resupplying the Filipino crew on the Sierra Madre.
The 2nd Thomas Shoal is within Filipino waters, only 250 km away from the main Philippine islands, but nearly 1000 knows away from the nearest Chinese territory.
