For those asking kung may war or oil crisis ba sa Middle East during PNoy's time:
2011-2016: Syrian Civil War - oil prices rose up to 110 dollars per barrel
2012: Iran was sanctioned, Straight of Hormuz was a risk
2014 up: Yemen Civil War (mga Houthi)
2014 up: rise of ISIS
But, China can go along being the global bully!
China can threaten to behead the Japanese Prime Minister
China can threaten to nuke Japan
China can threaten to invade Taiwan.
China can illegally claim the territories of Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia.
🇨🇳 Xi Jinping: "Unilateral bullying behavior is a blow to the international order" – Remarks possibly alluding to U.S. attacks on Venezuela 🤡
China bullying Philippine fishermen
"...PH volleyball is popular because it's marketable, not because it is high level. We built an industry around looks, school rivalries, and hype before building fundamentals."
Harsh take pero kinda true? Parang showbiz ang vball sa Pinas ngl.

A Chinese “research vessel” operated 19 nmi off Cagayan, North Luzon, an undisputed Philippine province
It switched off its AIS & ignored challenges from PCG
If this were innocent passage, if it was legitimate research, it would not hide
This was not research. This was spying
JUST IN: THE SUN JUST GROUNDED HALF THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR AIRCRAFT
6,500 Airbus A320s. Grounded. Effective immediately.
Not terrorism. Not mechanical failure. Not human error.
Solar radiation.
The same star that sustains all life on Earth just exposed a fatal flaw in the computer that controls whether your plane pitches up or down.
October 30: JetBlue Flight 1230 drops 100 feet in 7 seconds over Florida. 15 passengers hospitalized. Investigators trace it to the Elevator Aileron Computer. The sun corrupted its data mid-flight.
November 28: Airbus issues the largest recall in its 55-year history. EASA Emergency Directive demands fixes before next flight.
The cascade:
American Airlines: 340 aircraft grounded
ANA Japan: 65 flights canceled, 9,400 stranded
Air France: 35 flights scrapped
India: 250 aircraft affected
Avianca: Ticket sales halted for 10 days
This is 60% of the global A320 fleet. The aircraft that just overtook Boeing’s 737 as humanity’s most-delivered jet. Over 11,000 in service. 8 million seats departing daily. 2,000 takeoffs every hour.
The brutal truth: 2025 is peak solar cycle. NOAA confirmed it. And we just learned our fly-by-wire civilization has a single point of failure nobody stress-tested against space weather.
Most aircraft need a 2-4 hour software rollback. But 1,000 older jets require hardware replacement. They stay grounded for weeks.
The fix exists. The question that should terrify every systems thinker: What else haven’t we tested against the sun?
We built global aviation on the assumption that our star would behave. It didn’t ask permission.

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. The Sierra Madre mountain range serves as Luzon's natural fortress. It's the Philippines' first line of defense against climate-induced disasters such as tropical cyclones. Losing her will cause more trouble. Protect her as she does us. #UwanPH#FungWong
