I honestly hate that we've normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling people that they are ill informed & ignorant
Ang galing ng PNP. Nagiging free healthcare system para sa mga politican criminals.
Tapos tayo 1k lang na abono mula sa PhilHealth para sa 100k na billing.
On July 12, 2016, the Philippines secured a landmark legal victory. The Arbitral Award affirmed that China's sweeping claims in the West Philippine Sea have no legal basis under international law and clarified the Philippines' maritime rights.
Yet China continues to reject the ruling while its actions at sea persist. The law has not changed, only the attempts to distort it.
Don't let propaganda replace facts. Expose false narratives. Share verified information. Stand with the rule of law and help ensure that the truth about the West Philippine Sea is heard.
The battle for our seas is also a battle for the truth.

As an archipelagic nation with 7,641 islands to date, defining the territorial extent of the Philippines is not as straightforward as defining boundaries on land.
Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the national territory comprises the Philippine archipelago and all territories over which the Philippines has sovereignty or jurisdiction.
The 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮 (𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦) provides the international legal framework that defines the country's maritime entitlements.
🔴 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 are the waters enclosed by the Philippines' archipelagic baselines, where the State exercises full sovereignty subject to rights recognized under international law.
🟡 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗮 extends up to 12 nautical miles from these baselines. Within this zone, the Philippines exercises sovereignty over the waters, seabed, subsoil, and the airspace above.
🔵 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 (𝗘𝗘𝗭) extends up to 200 nautical miles, granting the Philippines sovereign rights to explore, conserve, develop, and manage living and non-living resources found in the waters, seabed, and subsoil.
This includes the vast expanse of the West Philippine Sea on the west and the Philippine (Benham) Rise on the east of Luzon.
🟢 The bounds of the 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 (𝗞𝗜𝗚) in the West Philippine Sea and its several islands, reefs, and cays in the Spratly Islands, were officially delineated through Presidential Decree No. 1596 (1978) and designated as a municipality of Palawan.
While overlapping claims exist in the area, the Philippines continues to administer several features within the KIG in accordance with its domestic laws and its rights under international law.
It is our shared duty to understand, value, and safeguard the seas and territories that define our archipelagic nation. #AtinIto #Philippines
I think they did good. Couldve done better but still good.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you want it to be exactly like the cartoons, then just go watch the cartoons.
I didnt like the first two eps coz I kept comparing it to the cartoons so I tried to detach from comparing and tried to focus on how they adapted the story. I started liking it. Its also understandable that they had to merge some stories such as the Painted Lady & the Blue Spirit
HOT TAKE:
"Diskarte" culture is holding the Philippines back. We celebrate workarounds instead of demanding systems that actually work. We need to demand systems that work.
