People seem to think reviving Philippine manufacturing and industrialization of the provinces will be all vibes. We've been talking about hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs for years but now that it's offered to us, we refuse? Why?

What did you expect these jobs to be? Mechanical widgets and screws and heavy industrial metal? THis isn't the mid-20th century. Semiconductors and AI are our growth sectors, and we should double down on it.

The Philippine semiconductor market is projected to expand from $7.21 billion in 2026 to $9.92 billion by 2031 at a compound annual growth rate of 6.58%. It serves as the primary backbone of the Philippine manufacturing economy, roughly 10% of total Philippine GDP. It controls between 55% to 58% of all commodity export values flowing out of the country.

Why SHOULDN'T we double down on this, a modern 21st century industry that will be needed by consumers and companies around the world? What other industry, apart from ship-building perhaps, do you know-it-alls have in mind to cushion and slowdown in the BPO sector other than this?

People have no concrete alternatives to what Pax Silica offers beyond pie-in-the-sky dreams. That is not how you craft an economic policy!

Of course it will take up power but guess what, even if we lean into automotives or consumer electronics or food processing or heavy industries like steel, we're still going to need a large amount of power. Us industrializing should be a motivation for us to expand out power output and improve our water resource management. If we allowed our limited capatabilities in terms of land, electricity, internet access, human capital ... etc etc to scare us off with BPOs, then the IT-BPO miracle in the 2000s that lifted millions into the middle class would have never be a thing.

We must be brave when faced with tech revolutions. Countries that stay stagnant and afraid are crushed by grand geo-political and technological forces they have no control or say over.

China using political warfare to influence Filipinos on West Philippine Sea

Security analyst and retired #US Air Force colonel Ray Powell said China is combining pressure at sea with a political warfare campaign aimed at shaping Filipino public opinion and advancing its claims in the West Philippine Sea.

Speaking during an interview, Powell said Beijing seeks to convince Filipinos that conceding to China’s demands is preferable to risking conflict, while continuing to use coercion through its coast guard and maritime militia.

He also said the Philippines has made progress in strengthening national resilience and public support through transparency efforts, adding that China’s attacks on Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Rear Admiral Jay Tarriela appear intended to undermine his credibility but may instead be increasing public interest in his message. | Jasper Dawang

The Nation That Keeps Drowning

Every rainy season, we live the same nightmare. Streets turn into rivers, families flee their homes and entire cities grind to a halt. And yet, year after year, the government insists: we are doing something about it.

Yes, they do something but not the right thing.

Based on testimonies, flood control projects have become the biggest cash cows of corruption. Canals are left half-dug, drainage systems collapse within months and ghost projects miraculously appear as “completed.” The funds are gone but the floods stay.

Every peso stolen from flood control is a life placed in danger. Every ghost project is a real family forced onto an evacuation centers. These are not natural disasters, they are political crimes.

Flood control should have been our shield. Instead, it became the scheme. While the people wade through filthy water, the powerful wade through kickbacks.

No amount of cement can hold back the water if the foundation of governance is rotten.

You cannot build resilience on corruption. You cannot expect progress when public service has become private business.

We have built dikes, pumping stations and drainage systems but never accountability. And until we do, no amount of infrastructure can save us.

We keep rebuilding walls and roads but what this country truly needs to rebuild is conscience.

And so, let the line be drawn here. The Filipino people have endured too many floods, too many lies, too many billions lost to greed.

Let there be no mistaking the truth and no more excuses: For the Philippines to live, corruption must die!
