00:36.4
And even dito sa Singapore, nasa top 100 tayo
00:39.5
When it comes to political and news related podcasts
00:42.2
If I'm not mistaken, malapit din tayo mag top 100 sa United Arab Emirates
00:47.5
So, sobrang, sobrang, I feel privileged
00:50.3
Thank you so much dun sa mga supportan nyo
00:53.0
Thank you so much dun sa mga sumasali sa atin
00:54.5

Dahil, especially dun sa malaking mga audience natin
01:09.4
All around the world
01:10.2
Especially mga FWs na ating kapatid
01:12.0
We're hoping to make sure na
01:13.1
Sa maraming bansa, at least top 100 tayo
01:15.2
Pero sa Pilipinas, ito na, numero uno
01:17.6
Number one po tayo
01:19.0
By chance lang, kanina haba ng conversation
01:21.1
Kita nyo, medyo pagod tayo early morning pa lang
01:23.7
Tuloy-tuloy itong mga conversations namin dito
01:28.2
May malaki kaming forum dito na
01:29.9
Medyo may mga big time na tao doon
01:32.2
So, talking about, you know, alam mo na
01:33.9
Yung trabaho talaga natin, geopolitics
01:36.3
So, we had this long conversation
01:37.8
And habang may mga breaks and all
01:40.0
Nagsicheck lang ako dito
01:41.2
Dito sa Singapore, I was just looking
01:43.1
There's this kind of website that gives you a ranking
01:45.2
Of your performance in terms of your podcast performance
01:49.1
At yun, boom, by chance lang
01:50.6
I just went through it
01:52.4
And the next thing I know, it's like, wow, okay
01:56.7
Top 200 tayo sa Spotify
01:58.0
In the world, among the highest podcasts tayo
02:01.4
In terms of political podcasts
02:02.4
Pero sa Pilipinas, number one tayo, mga kameta
02:04.6
So, very, very happy about that
02:06.7
Feel very privileged
02:07.6
Pinagirapan natin yan, mga kameta
02:09.9
Pinagirapan natin yan
02:11.1
And, of course, now I feel
02:13.0
Natutuwa ako kasi yung ating cousin
02:15.3
Shout out dyan sa cousin natin
02:18.3
In the house, salamat
02:19.9
Tumutulong na rin sa atin yan
02:21.3
Para sa dun sa ating mga shorts na ginagawa natin
02:24.7
I posted some of the samples of the shorts we're doing
02:28.7
Dyan sa Instagram natin
02:31.8
So, kindly check those ones
02:32.8
We'll hope to also post them sa TikTok natin
02:35.1
Hindi ko dalawin yung TikTok natin
02:36.3
But we're hoping to get the ball rolling
02:40.0
Not to mention, of course, shout out also
02:42.4
Kay Senator Rafi Tulfo
02:45.2
Yan, yung tawag na Idol Rafi yan
02:47.9
Salamat din sa kanya
02:49.2
Doon sa ating interview
02:50.3
So, abangan niyan
02:51.4
Yung interview namin with Senator Rafi Tulfo
02:53.0
Marami tayong napag-usapan
02:58.0
Yung kanya mga advocacies
02:59.4
Yung relationship niya with other senators
03:01.0
Including, of course, yung favorite niya
03:02.3
Si Cynthia Villar
03:03.1
Senator Cynthia Villar
03:04.0
So, marami tayong pinag-usapan dyan
03:06.7
Of course, shout out dyan sa mga kaibigan natin
03:08.3
Joining also us from other ASEAN countries
03:09.9
Jakarta, among others
03:11.0
Salamat, Sir Reggie, for joining us
03:14.4
I just want to say how thankful I am
03:16.6
Doon sa inyong support
03:17.5
And don't worry, mga kameta
03:19.0
We're gonna have more and more discussions
03:20.5
More and more collaboration
03:22.1
Likely, late tonight
03:24.9
We'll hope to have an R&R
03:28.0
Okay, medyo busy rin si
03:29.3
Ka Ronald Llamas natin
03:31.5
So, we'll try to catch up on that
03:32.8
But, again, thank you so much, mga kameta
03:34.2
You can see dito sa iBugs natin
03:36.5
Doon sa magulong room sa likod natin
03:38.4
Na medyo busyng-busyng schedule natin
03:40.2
But, we'll try our best
03:42.5
To keep this momentum
03:44.0
And to get you high quality discussions
03:46.2
Of course, editing and all
03:47.5
There's a lot I can work on
03:50.3
Where unti-unti natin inaayos yan
03:52.6
Mga studio productions, et cetera
03:55.0
So, alam naman, hindi naman mura yan
03:58.0
May gastos and all of that
03:59.6
So, I have to make sure na
04:01.0
Before I jump into proper editing
04:03.5
And making shorts
04:04.6
And getting people to help us
04:06.3
You know, we have the threshold
04:07.7
Minimum threshold
04:08.4
So, medyo halfway na tayo
04:11.0
Doon sa makuha natin
04:12.6
At makailangan natin sa YouTube
04:13.8
So, more than 50,000 followers na tayo
04:15.8
Sa YouTube, we were just 5,000 followers
04:18.2
Just the other year
04:18.9
Because, you know, I was barely posting
04:20.2
So, within a year or so
04:21.7
We went from 5,000 to 50,000
04:23.5
So, hopefully, we can push
04:24.7
In the coming months to 100,000
04:26.1
Para makuha natin yung verification
04:28.0
And obviously, on other platforms
04:30.2
Hundreds of thousands na tayo
04:31.7
Sa Facebook, among others
04:34.3
Next thing na gusto ko
04:35.6
I-focus talaga yung TikTok
04:36.7
Especially with the shorts
04:38.5
So, I haven't been as active on TikTok
04:40.5
But our hope is to push more aggressively
04:42.9
Para naman sa TikTok
04:44.1
We can reach doon sa mga
04:46.0
Mga ka-alpha generation
04:47.5
Ka-Genzy generation natin
04:49.1
So, we wanna also work on all of those things
04:51.4
I mean, the purpose here, mga kameta
04:53.6
Ano ba naman yan?
04:58.0
Wag naman kaya ganyan, mga kameta
04:59.7
Pag raffle-raffle lang
05:01.0
I-mekos-mekos na lang yan
05:03.9
Eto, kung gusto ko
05:05.0
Idaan na lang sa mga ano
05:06.4
Eto, i-mekos-mekos na tayo
05:10.4
Kayang-kaya ko yan
05:11.6
We wanna make sure that
05:12.9
You're watching us
05:13.6
Because you believe in what we do
05:15.4
You're watching us
05:16.1
Because natutuwa kayo
05:17.0
Sa analysis natin
05:18.1
I hope you're watching us
05:20.0
Because you wanna improve
05:22.4
To learn a thing or two
05:25.5
Pinag-ihirapan natin
05:26.4
Mga ginagawa natin
05:27.3
Pinag-aaral lang natin
05:28.4
We look at many sources
05:30.0
We talk to the leading thinkers
05:33.2
Yun ang ginagawa natin
05:34.1
So I hope you appreciate
05:34.8
Let's see maya-maya
05:36.8
Maybe we'll go a little bit of raffle
05:39.2
Magandang shirts and all
05:41.4
Pero kailangan natin
05:44.1
Just don't put too much pressure on me
05:45.5
Ang dami ko pang ibang ginagawa
05:49.3
Let me slowly and slowly
06:01.8
Na legitimate podcaster na tayo
06:09.1
And all as you can see
06:09.9
There's no commercials
06:14.3
Whenever may konting time
06:16.3
Kung matin yung internet
06:18.3
And next yun na ito
06:19.8
Number one na tayo
06:20.7
Sa political podcast
06:23.4
We wanna be number one
06:25.6
At the very least
06:26.5
In the near future
06:28.3
We wanna be at least
06:32.0
Political podcast
06:34.2
Sa lahat ng podcast
06:37.5
Sa mga political podcast
06:38.4
In other countries
06:39.2
Including Singapore
06:40.0
Number one na tayo
06:41.3
And if you go to Spotify
06:42.5
If you look at the popular
06:45.0
Medyo yung level natin
06:47.5
Yung mga New York Times
06:50.4
I'm super thankful
06:52.2
For supporting us
06:56.5
Walang transitions
06:59.2
Walang meet through
07:01.1
I work also in GMA
07:03.1
And now work in TV5 One News
07:04.9
Nakita ko yung matinong
07:07.1
Yung properly edited
07:09.6
We're not there yet
07:10.8
But down the road
07:12.2
Hopefully we can get
07:12.8
Some folks to help us
07:13.8
With proper editing
07:15.5
Pero yung content
07:16.2
I'm very proud of the content
07:22.1
Not only in the Philippines
07:23.7
But perhaps beyond the Philippines
07:27.0
Alam mo naman mga Kameta
07:27.8
We're always here to be world class
07:30.3
We're always here to be world class
07:33.9
Yung mga views na i-share
07:36.2
All around the world
07:37.1
Yung mga views na i-share here
07:42.4
This is also what I'm sharing to you guys
07:44.6
Kung hindi nyo ma-appreciate
07:45.6
Kaya ang problema na yan
07:46.5
May mga nag-troll sa atin
07:48.2
Alam mo yung mga bobo na
07:51.8
Citation lang kayo
07:53.4
You know who you are?
07:56.3
You know who you are?
07:59.7
People at the highest levels
08:02.7
I don't wanna name drop
08:04.9
I'm just telling you
08:07.2
Yung mga top policy makers
08:08.6
Sa tingin ng sinin binabasa nila
08:11.5
Hindi nila binabasa yung mga
08:13.7
Vloggers na Marlican
08:15.3
Ewan kay Ronald Llamas
08:16.8
Baka sa yung Marlican gusto niya
08:18.5
They're gonna read people
08:19.3
Who are published in
08:20.2
Legit publications
08:28.3
No but you get what I'm saying
08:29.5
I hate that kind of
08:33.5
Let's call it out
08:37.9
Hindi naman tayo bobo
08:39.0
I know we can do better than that
08:40.3
Kaya everything I'm doing here
08:41.6
Is to level it up
08:42.5
And to make political analysis
08:44.1
Proper geopolitical analysis
08:46.1
Proper socioeconomic analysis
08:50.9
Yung proper analysis
08:57.2
Alright mga kameta
08:58.0
In all of these years
08:59.5
Na I've been fighting
09:00.2
For the West Philippines
09:01.2
Yung major issues
09:02.0
I've been trawled
09:04.1
At the highest levels
09:06.5
Throughout the years
09:07.6
If you wanna talk about
09:09.5
Duwag and cowardice
09:11.0
Duwag yung mga anonymous
09:12.2
At duwag yung mga
09:13.3
Ibang vloggers dyan
09:15.5
They don't wanna stand by
09:17.1
You get what I'm saying
09:21.6
The amount of risk and stress
09:23.5
That people like us
09:26.4
For the West Philippines
09:27.1
We stand for our interest
09:28.3
In the Philippines
09:29.0
And speaking of duwag
09:30.7
I'm probably one of the
09:31.7
Very few guys out there
09:32.7
Who has criticized
09:33.2
Both the United States and China
09:34.6
Equal opportunity
09:36.1
That both are equal
09:36.9
Especially as a Filipino
09:38.6
Now one is definitely
09:40.1
In the West Philippines
09:41.7
Had historical injustices
09:43.1
And problems in the Philippines
09:45.7
Morally equivalent
09:48.4
The wars of Trump administration
09:50.5
The wars of China
09:51.9
But at the same time
09:52.8
We've talked about
09:55.3
That's why mga kameta
09:56.6
That's why we get interviewed
09:59.8
So CNN International
10:03.2
Russia and other countries
10:04.2
They're all interviews
10:05.2
Yung mga fake dyan na experts
10:07.2
Yung mga fake dyan na
10:10.3
Never na-interview
10:11.0
Yung mga legit yan
10:11.7
At barely na-interview
10:12.8
Yung mga China and Russia
10:20.2
In Beijing itself
10:22.1
I have interviews
10:24.9
Studios all around the world
10:27.0
This is not about me
10:29.6
Let's be very clear
10:30.6
All of these things
10:35.2
I remember very well
10:43.8
Never underestimate
10:46.7
At multiple levels
10:47.8
Kahit baluktuting
10:54.9
Is never underestimate
10:56.2
The Filipino people
10:57.7
Never underestimate
10:58.7
The Filipino people's
11:02.9
That's very important thing
11:04.5
It's a big insult
11:06.9
Hanggang dyan lang
11:08.4
Yung hanggang patawa lang
11:12.2
Yung mga bardagulan
11:13.5
Yung mga kabubuan
11:15.1
Dun sa mga ibang vloggers
11:17.4
It has a lot of views
11:19.0
But hindi tayo desperate
11:20.4
We also do a million view
11:21.5
Or something at least
11:27.1
It's not crazy level
11:37.2
There is a market for it
11:39.3
And there's an interest in it
11:44.6
Natouch ako ng konti
11:49.1
Nung sumulat siya ng
11:51.8
Ng recommendation
11:54.9
He quoted Socrates
11:59.9
Superhero ko talaga
12:02.2
Kung titignan mo si Socrates
12:08.2
Most attractive thing
12:09.2
That's why you have to
12:10.0
Seduce people on the truth
12:15.4
Critical thinking
12:21.3
At yun po yung ginagawa natin dito
12:22.9
Is we were trying to make
12:25.3
Critical thinking discussion
12:27.4
Relatable as possible
12:29.2
Yun lang naman ginagawa natin
12:30.8
Sometimes successful
12:32.0
Sometimes very successful
12:33.3
Sometimes not so successful
12:34.4
Sometimes konti lang views
12:37.7
You have to be committed
12:38.6
You have to be committed
12:39.6
And there are many times
12:42.4
There are times na
12:45.4
There are times na nagvlog tayo
12:46.6
Barely 10,000 views
12:48.0
Or even 5,000 views
12:49.5
Pero okay lang sa akin
12:51.4
Mga konti lang tao
12:54.9
We're doing something right
12:56.2
Itong mga contents
12:57.0
Na ginagawa natin
12:59.5
Pwede natin balikan
13:03.8
Or at the very least
13:05.4
How to communicate
13:07.2
In the best way possible
13:08.6
Every time I go on live
13:11.8
We find new friends
13:13.4
Mga bagong kaibigan
13:14.5
Bagong mga supporters
13:16.0
We're extremely grateful
13:17.7
Doon sa mga supporters
13:19.1
Natin from back in the day
13:21.9
Doon sa mga meta natin
13:24.2
Nakikita din na may
13:26.4
So we're authentic
13:30.4
Now hindi ko na kasalanan
13:31.3
I wanna make sure
13:35.1
This is authentic
13:36.1
This is authentic
13:37.2
Because mga kameta
13:38.0
Because mga kameta
13:40.9
Just to be clear about this
13:42.6
Maraming mayaman dyan
13:46.5
They can just hire
13:47.3
A production team
13:48.2
And make a super nice one
13:51.5
If it's your dad's money
13:54.8
Minsan di natin alam
13:59.9
Whatever penny I earn
14:07.9
That it stays true
14:10.3
Ng what we're trying
14:14.1
Of very hard work
14:15.1
I think na meet natin
14:16.3
Yung konting threshold dito
14:18.2
Sa mga sumusuporta sa atin
14:21.5
Being supporting us
14:25.2
Yung pushback nyo
14:26.6
Kawawang-kawawang
14:28.8
Durog sila sa atin
14:33.2
Pero dito sa Facebook
14:35.5
Kawawang yung mga trolls
14:39.4
Pag mag-criticize ka
14:41.4
Let me be very clear
14:42.4
I am absolutely okay
14:44.1
With constructive criticism
14:45.3
And if you notice
14:47.2
I make adjustments
14:48.6
Because some criticisms
14:50.4
Kahit hindi ko aminin
14:53.1
Para actually may point siya
14:54.9
Kachipang yung ginawa natin
14:56.4
O nga masyado tayong
14:59.4
Pero yung mga bastusan
15:01.6
There's no room for that
15:02.7
So kung wala akong time
15:05.9
Bahala na sa inyo
15:07.1
Yung mga followers natin
15:08.2
At supporters natin
15:09.0
So we appreciate that
15:10.3
Some of you are even more generous
15:14.4
Yan pong nagbigay
15:18.1
Medyo pukot talaga
15:19.0
This is Singapore
15:21.1
So we're gonna work
15:23.6
Yung mga meetings namin
15:24.8
We're gonna have meetings
15:26.2
Dun sa mga counterparts natin
15:29.3
From all around the region
15:30.4
And then hopefully
15:35.0
Balikan natin ito
15:36.2
Having said all of that
15:39.0
Na yung few minutes
15:44.0
I'm watching the situation
15:45.1
That is happening right now
15:46.2
Dito sa West Philippines
15:47.9
At medyo nakakabala siya
15:49.8
Pinag-usapan naman
15:51.2
Itong kaso ng Pilipinas
15:52.8
And I'll tell you what
15:53.8
Marami sa mga expert
15:55.7

16:09.8
Obviously I'm not against diplomacy
16:15.1
Dealing with China
16:15.7
I have nothing against China
16:17.8
I love Chinese culture
16:19.9
Sometimes some of their food
16:21.7
And I had fantastic
16:23.6
Chinese influenced
16:28.4
I have Chinoy friends
16:33.7
Mga may na hugot line
16:36.0
No you get what I'm saying
16:50.5
Goldilocks meaning
16:53.9
It's not about being
16:55.0
Pro-China or anti-China
16:56.7
It's about finding
16:58.1
The best way to deal with China
17:00.4
Sa isang discussion natin
17:02.7
Pinag-usapan natin
17:04.1
Itong hedging strategy
17:06.2
I even gave you some sources
17:08.0
Some links for you guys
17:09.1
To check it on your own
17:11.2
May mga bobo dyan

17:22.4
Para mainganyo din kami
17:24.5
I mean we do these things
17:25.5
In academic context
17:26.6
In policy think tank context
17:27.9
But we wanna get the message out
17:29.9
You want more and more people
17:31.5
From this basic concept
17:32.8
Para may proper framework
17:35.9
Now having said all of that
17:38.0
Of course I'm watching also
17:39.0
What's happening on the ground
17:39.9
Ayon natin ang giyera
17:41.8
But just to be clear
17:45.7
Ang mga totoong duwag
17:47.0
Yung mga nagsasabi
17:48.0
Ay huwag na natin dipensahan
17:49.7
Yung sarili natin
17:50.5
Interest at sovereign rights
17:55.6
And then yung mga tipong
17:58.3
Yung mga patriots
17:59.1
Na lumalaban para sa ating bansa
18:00.8
Just because you're fighting
18:04.0
Doesn't mean you want war
18:05.4
That's a very bobo way
18:06.6
Of looking at things
18:07.8
You need to do the minimum
18:09.8
There has to be the minimum
18:10.7
To fight for your rights
18:12.1
You have to fight
18:16.9
You get what I'm saying
18:17.8
You have to have minimum
18:19.1
While you're fighting
18:20.6
For your basic rights
18:21.8
And sovereign rights
18:23.9
You have to be absolutely clear
18:27.2
Communication channels
18:28.7
Should remain open
18:29.8
At yun yung sinasabi ko
18:31.3
You have engagement
18:32.4
You have deterrence
18:34.0
The exact combination
18:38.5
It's hard to pinpoint
18:42.3
It depends on circumstances
18:43.7
It depends on time
18:44.6
And it's game theory
18:46.4
Hopefully down the road
18:47.5
We can do also lectures
18:49.1
Para ma-appreciate
18:50.4
It's not like you're
18:51.5
Hindi naman nakatunga ngayong kabila
18:53.7
And then waiting for my punch
18:54.7
It's like in boxing
18:56.0
Before I punch you
18:56.9
You're already gonna make a reaction
19:00.3
Oh I'm gonna punch him there
19:01.4
And I'm gonna punch him there
19:02.5
It doesn't work that way
19:03.3
The moment I punch you
19:04.2
First naka-move ka na kagat
19:05.6
So my second punch
19:06.5
Has to have a different angle
19:07.7
So yung mga kameta natin na
19:09.1
Naki martial arts
19:11.3
You'll get what I'm saying
19:12.3
So game theory is kinda similar to that
19:14.4
In a game theory situation
19:16.0
You're not gonna say
19:16.6
I'm gonna do X, Y, and Z
19:18.0
Or A, B, C to a person
19:19.1
By the time you do the A
19:20.5
The other person is all gonna say
19:21.5
I'm gonna counter-react
19:22.2
And the person's counter-reaction
19:24.1
Is not only to what you do
19:25.3
But also the expectation
19:26.4
Of what you were supposed to do
19:27.7
And then that creates
19:29.1
Its own path dependency
19:30.6
Or algorithmically
19:32.1
It creates patterns of interaction
19:35.7
So yun yung perspective natin
19:37.3
So you cannot say
19:38.2
Ito lang gawin natin
19:39.1
At ito mangyari sa China
19:40.3
Because what China is doing
19:41.3
Depends also on what we're doing
19:43.2
But it also depends on
19:44.5
Mutual perceptions
19:45.6
But it also depends on
19:47.3
What China thinks about
19:49.5
And other countries will do
19:50.4
And also what we think
19:51.5
Other countries will do
19:52.4
So there are many moving parts
19:57.2
Slash multi-variable analysis
19:58.8
Yun po yung ginagawa natin
19:59.8
Ginagawa natin yun sa politics
20:00.9
Ginagawa natin sa geopolitics
20:02.5
So that's why it's very important
20:04.2
To constantly see
20:04.9
What's happening on the ground
20:06.5
Ito yung nakakatakot
20:07.7
Nang nangyari ngayon
20:11.8
Baka ma-copyright tayo
20:13.2
So ito yung pinost natin kanina
20:15.2
Ito yung situation
20:17.0
Kitang-kita nyo na
20:22.7
Fishing vessel sila
20:24.7
Ang dami nilang pinark dyan
20:27.3
They're not fishing vessels
20:28.2
We know that they're fake
20:30.8
But they're actually
20:32.3
And one of them is
20:33.7
Most likely behind
20:37.0
Red bank incident
20:37.9
So ginagamit ng China
20:42.7
Very intimidating
20:43.6
Yung ginawa nila dito
20:45.1
Talagang they put
20:47.4
Hundred to hundred
20:48.2
Ang dami nila nilagay dyan
20:51.3
Oh gusto nyo kami challenge
20:53.2
Oh bahala kayo dyan
20:54.2
That's the point mga kameta
20:55.9
You have to always
20:56.9
Distinguish between
20:57.7
Intimidation tactics
21:00.2
The actual potential
21:05.9
Magpa-intimidate ka kagad
21:08.3
Walang mangyari sayo
21:10.9
And you're just gonna ignore
21:12.6
All signals of potential
21:16.1
Kaya very very important
21:18.0
To have the proper
21:19.4
Proper assessment
21:22.3
Keep the communication
21:24.7
Kung China gusto lang
21:26.3
Magflex na muscle
21:27.1
But perhaps they really
21:28.5
Don't want the confrontation
21:29.4
But you won't know that
21:30.9
Unless you're communicating
21:32.3
And if God forbid
21:33.0
Some accident happens
21:34.0
It's very important
21:34.9
That you have the
21:36.1
Communication channel
21:36.8
To de-escalate the situation
21:37.9
Make sure it doesn't
21:38.5
Get out of control
21:39.2
Because tayo may drone
21:41.6
May drone and camera
21:42.5
So pakitanggilas yan
21:45.5
As we say in Ilocano
21:49.2
And very emotionally
21:50.4
Charged situation
21:52.9
We're watching very carefully
21:54.0
What's happening here
21:56.6
Medyo kabado ko ng konti
21:58.9
Dapat di tayo ututo
22:01.9
And let me end this
22:06.5
I always tell this
22:08.7
To my Chinese friends
22:10.0
I always saw China's
22:13.7
Far more rational
22:14.6
Far more reasonable
22:15.9
And sophisticated
22:16.6
Than other authoritarian
22:18.3
Including the one
22:19.0
That invaded just Ukraine
22:21.3
China has so much to lose
22:22.5
Because they're gaining so much
22:23.8
From globalization
22:24.6
And good relations
22:25.5
With their neighboring countries
22:26.6
So that is why I think
22:28.7
More than 9 out of 10 times
22:30.6
90 plus percent of the time
22:32.5
It's just intimidation tactics
22:34.0
And psychological warfare
22:38.1
There's always that 1% chance
22:40.0
That this could be
22:41.1
More than just psychological games
22:43.2
Kaya I hope behind the scenes
22:44.9
We are preparing for contingencies
22:47.3
And behind the scenes
22:48.4
We're making sure
22:49.1
Na yung mga aliado natin
22:50.5
They're also sending
22:51.2
Clearsing out to China
22:52.2
Na don't do anything funny
22:53.9
Or anything crazy
22:56.4
There are 3 ticking time bombs
22:57.8
In the West Philippines
22:58.6
Yeah I'm gonna post shorts
23:00.3
Based on sa mga lectures
23:01.1
And discussion natin previously
23:02.4
Ticking time bomb
23:05.7
Desidido na tayo sa Pilipinas
23:07.4
I-fortify yung presence natin
23:12.0
China will intervene aggressively
23:13.7
And that could create
23:14.4
A very dangerous spiral
23:16.0
Sabi ko na dun sa Readbank
23:18.2
Gusto natin mag-develop
23:19.2
Ng resources natin dyan
23:20.8
We might be able to do that
23:21.0
We might be able to do that
23:22.0
Medyo delikado din yan
23:23.1
Pwede mag-respond ng China
23:24.8
But we have no choice
23:25.8
We have to defend
23:26.7
Our sovereign rights
23:27.3
Alam kang maghintay lang tayo
23:28.3
At magpa-intimidate tayo
23:29.5
That's why foreign policy
23:30.9
That's why it's very very hard
23:33.3
Whoever is the Filipino president
23:36.6
If the president gets it wrong
23:39.4
Hindi lang Pilipinas and China
23:40.6
Buong region are affected
23:44.4
Parati akong kinausap
23:45.4
Richard ano bang ginagawa
23:46.6
Kanina may kausap din ako
23:47.5
Ng mga Singaporean professors
23:49.3
What is your take on this
23:50.4
Is this a tactical thing
23:51.5
Is this a strategic thing
23:52.4
So they're really concerned
23:55.0
Huwag tayo magpa-intimidate
23:56.3
Pero huwag lang tayong
23:58.7
Let's be very very clear about this
24:00.5
I would also want to add this
24:02.1
I find it quite interesting
24:03.7
Let me be very clear about it
24:05.2
I find it quite interesting
24:09.4
Ayusin natin ito para
24:10.7
Kamitin natin pang shorts
24:12.8
Ito practical lang talaga
24:19.3
Ang gulo na pa sa likod
24:21.1
Bakit andun yung ano
24:28.0
Low budget production
24:30.5
Abang may free lighting pa tayo
24:34.0
Mga mga kamayang tapang shorts na yun
24:37.6
Yung mekos nekos natin
24:40.2
Wait nasan na tayo
24:42.9
Anong sasabihin ko
24:43.6
Nawala na sabaw na
24:49.3
Doon sa mga empresaryos ni tatay
24:52.8
Doon sa mga supporters ng former administration
24:55.8
Ito lang sasabihin ko
24:57.3
I'm not very sure about your moral ascendancy or even intellectual
25:05.3
I didn't say capacity
25:07.3
I want to say something as capital
25:17.3
Talagang live no?
25:20.3
Kailangan pag low budget
25:21.3
Ganun sabay-sabayan na lahat
25:31.3
Now let me be very clear
25:33.3
Nagle-lecture sa kasalukuyan na administration
25:36.3
Or nagle-lecture sa taong bayan
25:38.3
Ukol sa Asia ng West Philippine Sea
25:39.3
In particular I'm talking about
25:40.3
The empresaryos of the former president
25:42.3
Former president Duterte
25:43.3
And those who supported
25:44.3
His brand of essentially pro-China foreign policy
25:52.3
Fully subservient policy towards China
25:54.3
Let me be very clear about these people
25:56.3
Very questionable kung meron kayong
25:58.3
Any moral ascendancy
25:59.3
And very questionable kung meron kayong
26:01.3
Enough intellectual capital to make that argument
26:04.3
Because for 6 full years at least
26:07.3
Tatay Digong was super nice to China
26:10.3
He did an assert arbitration award
26:12.3
He threatened our alliance with the United States
26:15.3
On multiple occasions
26:16.3
He did not allow ETCA to be fully implemented
26:18.3
He threatened the visiting forces agreement
26:20.3
He even threatened earlier on
26:22.3
To kick out Americans altogether
26:24.3
And ally with China and Russia
26:26.3
Against the world
26:27.3
And all of that kind of drama
26:29.3
And he was promised 24 billion pesos in investments and all
26:33.3
And what did we get in those 6 years?
26:35.3
In exchange for everything that Tatay Digong did for them
26:39.3
Well aside from the Pogo investments and all
26:42.3
Where's the Mindanao railway project?
26:44.3
Where's the Clark high-speed railway project?
26:47.3
I mean, name me a single big ticket
26:50.3
Big ticket, hindi yung mga kinulayan lang
26:52.3
At ginagana lang yung isang bridge dyan
26:54.3
Tapos purong mga galing din sa kanila
26:56.3
Yung mga workers and contractors na sila lang kumita
26:59.3
Hindi yung gano'n na
27:00.3
I'm talking about real big ticket infrastructure projects
27:03.3
Like what we see in Bandung, Jakarta
27:05.3
Although very delayed and all
27:06.3
But something along those lines
27:07.3
Big ticket infrastructure projects
27:14.3
So that was pledged trail
27:15.3
Kaya sabi kong mali yung opposition at saka yung mga...
27:16.3
Dilawan na sinasabi mga kaka-dead trap
27:18.3
Dead trap presupposes
27:20.3
I've been saying this since 2018
27:22.3
Dead trap presupposes
27:25.3
That investments will come in
27:27.3
But under very questionable terms
27:29.3
But I always said it's just pledge trap
27:31.3
It's just pledges
27:34.3
That are meant to soften the Philippines' position
27:36.3
On the South China Sea
27:37.3
On its alliance with the United States among others
27:39.3
But in exchange for really nothing much
27:42.3
Now, we can have a long discussion kung sino talaga may kasalanan din
27:45.3
But the reality is that
27:46.3
All of those billions of supposed investment
27:48.3
There are more pledged trap than dead trap
27:52.3
Now, if you look at the West Philippine Sea
27:55.3
Lumala din yung situation
27:56.3
Kung titignan mo yung militarizasyon
27:58.3
Ng mga fake islands ang ginawa ng China
28:00.3
Sa Kalayaan Group of Islands
28:02.3
Yung mga iba na dapat atin
28:04.3
Or kiniklaim natin
28:05.3
Lumala yung mga yan
28:06.3
In fact, nag-consolidate yung militarizasyon ng China
28:09.3
Paano ni Digong yan?
28:10.3
So, every evidence suggests
28:13.3
That the Digong way of thinking
28:15.3
Of going like that to China
28:16.3
And hoping they'll be nice to us
28:17.3
In fact, as Duterte put it
28:19.3
You know, be meek and humble
28:20.3
And you'll get mercy from China
28:22.3
That thesis has been completely disproven
28:26.3
And let's not forget it was under Digong
28:28.3
That the Reed Bank, Recto Bank incident happened
28:30.3
Nang muntik na matay yung mga more than a dozen Philippine
28:32.3
In Denver incident
28:34.3
Nangyari din sa mga iba't ibang area
28:36.3
Ng Kalayaan Group of Islands
28:38.3
Inarmada tayo ng mga malisya nila
28:40.3
So, it's absolutely clear
28:43.3
That the Digong way of dealing with China
28:44.3
It just doesn't work
28:46.3
Zero concessions from China
28:48.3
On any important issue
28:50.3
Zero big-ticket infrastructure projects
28:52.3
Therefore, yung mga invested sa ganyan policy
28:55.3
Na may zero, right?
28:57.3
Zero real dividends for the Philippines
29:00.3
Have zero moral ascendancy
29:02.3
And arguably zero intellectual capital
29:06.3
To lecture us on what to do moving forward
29:08.3
Now, having said that
29:09.3
I am still for engagement with China
29:11.3
I'm still for exploring the possible
29:14.3
Best possible compromise there
29:17.3
But we have to be clear with our red lines
29:19.3
And we have to be clear that as much as we welcome
29:21.3
High quality investments from China
29:23.3
That should not come at the expense of our sovereign rights
29:25.3
In the West Philippine Sea
29:27.3
And at the end of the day
29:28.3
Any investments that comes in
29:29.3
It has to be mutually beneficial
29:31.3
And it has to rely also on the Filipino technology
29:35.3
It has to hire Filipino workers
29:37.3
And it has to be high quality, sustainable
29:39.3
Environmentally friendly infrastructure projects
29:42.3
Now, as long as we can keep those
29:44.3
Basics clear in our engagement with China
29:46.3
I have no problem whatsoever dealing with them
29:48.3
But those red lines have to be clear
29:50.3
And once those red lines became clear
29:53.3
Then, I think we can have a very good relationship with China
29:56.3
Because guess what?
29:57.3
The country I am in right now
29:58.3
Singapore has a fantastic relationship with China
30:00.3
Well, they don't have territorial disputes
30:01.3
But, you know, every time they had a problem
30:03.3
They stood their ground
30:04.3
Indonesia, nung binuli sila ng China sa North Natuna Sea
30:07.3
Nagpadala sila ng mga F-16 fighters
30:10.3
Bumunta dyan si Jokowi
30:11.3
Nagpadala sila ng warships
30:12.3
They stood their ground
30:13.3
And now, Indonesia and China have fantastic relationship
30:15.3
In fact, China just finished yung Bandung project nila
30:17.3
Yung Bandung-Jakarta high-speed railway project nila
30:20.3
So, I can go on and on with many examples
30:23.3
Australia, for instance
30:24.3
For many years, ang laki ng problema nila with China
30:26.3
And China was angry at them for introducing
30:30.3
You know, counter-influence operations kind of legislations
30:34.3
For restricting Chinese investments in their critical infrastructure
30:38.3
For calling for independent investigation
30:41.3
In the source of origins of COVID-19
30:43.3
But China kept on, you know, threatening them
30:45.3
They said they will impose sanctions
30:46.3
And in the end, Australia stood its ground
30:48.3
And now, you have Australian Prime Minister Albanese going to China
30:51.3
And everything went more or less well
30:54.3
So, that's the point
30:55.3
If you stand your ground
30:56.3
Hindi ka magpa-intimidate
31:00.3
You will get their grudging respect
31:02.3
And then, you can negotiate
31:04.3
For a good, proper compromise dyan sa West Philippine Sea
31:07.3
But compromise doesn't mean peace under conditions of subjugation
31:12.3
It has to be a just peace
31:14.3
And it has to be a peace and a compromise
31:16.3
That is in accordance dun sa ating saligang batas
31:18.3
And prevailing modern international law
31:21.3
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
31:24.3
And we already have a ruling on that
31:25.3
On that note, thank you very much
31:27.3
Maboy ang Pilipinas
31:29.3
Marami salamat sa inyong suporta
31:31.3
Making us the number one political podcast in the Philippines
31:34.3
And among top hundred political podcasts
31:38.3
In number of other countries
31:40.3
Including here in Singapore
31:41.3
So we hope to push for
31:43.3
Number one in all podcasts
31:45.3
Hopefully sa Pilipinas
31:46.3
Maboy siguro ambisyoso yan
31:47.3
But if we can make it to
31:49.3
At least top ten or twenty
31:53.3
That will be quite an achievement
31:54.3
And hopefully we can be at least among the
31:56.3
Top ten podcasts in Asia
31:58.3
If not in the world
31:59.3
So thank you so much for your continued support
32:02.3
And maboy ang Pilipinas
32:12.3
Ginagamit ko na ito for free
32:17.3
Imecos mecos mo na yan
32:18.3
Igawin mo ng shorts yan
