I found a couple of state dinner invites while rummaging through a box of memorabilia. I posted about them on FB: facebook.com/559645133/posts…

The SONA is not a fashion show and the media should stop treating it as such. Stop asking them about what they are wearing. Instead, ask them what they have done to make the lives of Filipinos better.

The best and the brightest. Nakakatawa na nakakainis na nakakaawa.

Ironic: "But as a senator in the 1980s, Biden was a vocal critic of Marcos Sr... Biden also opposed efforts by the Reagan administration to protect the Philippine leader." 🤷‍♂️ washingtonpost.com/world/202…

I wrote this on Facebook to remember ADR. He was a true statesman, unwavering in his pursuit to assert Philippine sovereignty. Rest in peace, Sec. Albert

Naalaala Nyo Pa Ba? Nung ginamit ni Duterte ang Dengvaxia para siraan si PNoy? Walang wheelchair na hinarap ni PNoy ang imbestigasyon at walang kaso sinampa sa kanya o napatunayang napatay ng Denvaxia. Ang Dengvaxia ay aprubado sa may utak na bansa tulad ng US, EU at Singapore

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n

Is this the same Teddy “the Nazis were not all wrong” Locsin who now thinks “Marcos was a hero” after being appointed Marcos Jr ambassador to the UK? We spoke at the airport once in which he confessed the real reason why he once opposed the dictator: bit.ly/3KGVUL8
Replying to @RCarranza_ @HRVVMC
Hey @teddyboylocsin, please acknowledge the valiant effort of your boss for fighting to keep this part of his inheritance even if it was unsuccessful. Cmon boy.

Actually, it is Senators like you and Bato who give our country a bad reputation.
'REPUTASYON PO NG INANG BAYAN ANG PINAG-UUSAPAN DITO' Sen. Robin Padilla calls on the MTRCB to ban the showing of Hollywood film "Plane," condemning the movie for portraying "bad image" of the Philippines.

Nung si PNoy ba may byahe noon, may kasama bang mga kamaganak?

I first read Dekada ‘70 in high school and it opened my eyes to cruelty of Martial Law. Your works should be required reading for every Filipino. Maraming salamat po. Rest in peace.
REST IN PEACE. Multi-awarded Filipina novelist and activist Lualhati Bautista, best known for her novels “Dekada '70,” “Bata, Bata, Pa'no Ka Ginawa?” and “GAPÔ,” has passed away at the age of 77.

A quick Google search shows that in 2020, the US blacklisted China Communications Construction Co. for its role in militarizing the islands in the West Philippine Sea. Did BBM vet this group before meeting them? Why listen to a group with a questionable track record?
Nakipagpulong tayo sa China Communications Construction Co., Ltd, isa sa mga kilalang ultra-large infrastructure service provider, upang dinggin ang kanilang mga mungkahi pagdating sa sektor ng imprastraktura at agrikultura na kabilang sa ating prayoridad.

What is the strategic value of a presidential visit to France? France is not a major trade or defense partner. Not a major aid donor. The number of OFWs in France is small vs. Middle East, US, Canada. And just because he was invited, it doesn’t mean he has to accept.

Not many know that PNoy kept a countdown calendar to track his remaining days in office. He was eager to let go. He had no fantasies about staying in power. Sic transit gloria mundi. Six years is enough.

If BBM sincerely wants to attract foreign investments, he should work on these: poor infra (roads, bridges, ports), high power costs, slow internet, regulatory inconsistencies and capture, and corruption. There is no need for expensive foreign trips.

When PNoy went to Davos in 2013 (he attended once), the delegation stayed in a small house, sharing beds and bathrooms, instead of a hotel. Hotels then were either fully booked or prohibitively expensive. We cooked breakfast ourselves to minimize expenses. verafiles.org/articles/who-f…

The delegation was reminded to take quick showers because the hot water available in the house was limited. If the staff used up too much water, there might not be enough for PNoy. Mind you, WEF happens in snow covered Davos so it was freezing. 🥶
