Proof that President BBM is a saint and perfect President. Mao ni ang issue ug kay kinsa sala.

Flood Control - blaming Duterte and people
Trillion na utang - blaming the past administration
School shooting - blaming the teachers
Negative trust rating - blaming the misinformed people
Drug problem - blaming the past administration
Corruption - blaming past adminitration
Senate attack - blaming Cayetano

If you study leadership and former powerful leaders, you will understand that blaming is a sign of weakness. Strong leaders in history don not blame. They respond and take responsibility.

‘Kadayawan’ and the use of ‘Salamat Kamayo’ may not by themselves prove the historical extent of Mandaya territory, but they do show that Mandaya culture has a continuing place in Davao’s cultural identity. That connection becomes more meaningful when viewed against historical records showing Mandaya communities across the larger Davao region long before the province was divided.

The Vice President was bashed for allegedly being uninformed about Pax Silica. Dapat, as Vice President, the second-highest official in the country, she should already know about it kay this is one of the major issues doon sa Pilipinas.

But does knowing Pax Silica actually make someone more intelligent?

Let’s examine the issue.

Pax Silica is a U.S.-led initiative involving multiple countries in developing and hosting data centers and the infrastructure needed for the growing AI economy. Many Filipinos are resistant to it because of concerns about environmental damage, our limited electricity supply, and the possible displacement of farmers from their land.

Those concerns are VALID and should be discussed.

But why does the Philippines often seem to be late compared with other countries in adopting new technologies and industries?

One possible reason is our culture of resistance to change. From Lapu-Lapu to Rizal, resistance has always been part of our history. But in the modern era, resistance can also mean rejecting technological and industrial changes before fully understanding them.

I am not saying Pax Silica is good or bad. I am saying we should understand it before deciding whether to support or oppose it.

Look at countries such as Japan, Russia, the United States, and China. They have invested heavily in technologies that the Philippines continues to debate, including nuclear energy and advanced computing. Some of these countries also experienced devastating consequences from the very technologies they later learned to manage and improve.

Japan and Russia, for example, have had catastrophic experiences involving nuclear energy. Yet those experiences also led to decades of research, regulation, safety improvements, and technological development.

The lesson is not that we should blindly copy other countries or ignore environmental concerns. The lesson is that technological development often comes with risks, failures, and difficult lessons.

And if we want to talk about the environment, we also have to acknowledge that the Philippines itself faces serious environmental problems, including marine pollution and poor waste management.

My point is not to defend Pax Silica or attack those who oppose it.

My point is simple:

Filipinos should normalize understanding technology before reacting to it.

We should ask: What exactly is the technology? What will it require? How much electricity and water will it consume? Who benefits? Who bears the risks? What safeguards are in place? What jobs and industries could it create?

We can be critical without being automatically resistant.

We can ask difficult questions without immediately rejecting something we have not fully understood.

Being intelligent is not simply knowing the name of a project like Pax Silica.

Real intelligence is having the willingness to understand it before deciding what we think about it.

One reason Bato’s reported arrest has created confusion is the lack of public trust in this administration. Many people remain skeptical because of what they see as previous lies and contradictions. For example, the administration repeatedly said it would not cooperate with the ICC, yet Duterte was eventually turned over despite earlier claims that there was no ICC arrest warrant. Now, we’re seeing a similar situation with Bato.

But let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that Bato’s arrest is real. Then the question is, why would the enforcement agency like PNP and NBI deny it?

One possible explanation is the Philippines being an ass licker of the United States. The Trump administration has been openly hostile to the ICC and has sought to discourage cooperation with it, especially in cases involving countries that are not ICC members.

Remember how Trump imposed tariffs on the Philippines despite all the efforts to please the U.S.? Those tariffs weren’t even sanctions related to the ICC. They were simply part of Trump’s “America First” approach prioritizing the U.S. economy without much regard for the impact on its allies.

Now imagine the Philippines openly handing Bato over to the ICC. That would practically be saying, “F**k you, Donald.”

Whether that’s the real reason or not, it could explain why there appears to be a gap between what is happening behind the scenes and what is being said publicly.

SONA Serye
2024 — 5500 flood control projects done
2025 — baha, na overwhelm ang flood control, then later realized that most projects are ghost, “mahiya naman kayo!” after admitting that allocations are actually designed to be stolen.
2026 — may nahiya kaya?

Diokno claims the point after the impeachment court subpoenaed the bank account of the VP.

In prosecution, the prosecutor requires the quantum of evidence to be of the “highest degree of certainty of conviction.” Meaning, ang ebidensya dapat surebol gayud na makakumbinsi sang court to convict the accused.

Sang bank account ni VP, I actually have no issue with the subpoena itself. My concern is that wa kuno silan kasayod unan sod ng bank account ni VP unless they subpoena the documents.

So if the prosecution doesn’t even know what’s inside the VP’s bank account, how can they already consider it as evidence to convict the accused?

There are two possible scenarios:

1. Fishing expedition. Nagbabakasakali basin awon agaw unexplained wealth ngadto.
2. The prosecution already knows what’s inside the account. But the question is, how did they obtain that information?

The law is very clear:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures of whatever nature and for any purpose shall be inviolable.”

This constitutional provision is intended as protection against the State. Anything obtained unlawfully cannot be admitted as evidence.

Now that the court has issued a subpoena, there are only two possible outcomes: either it strengthens the case or it weakens it. But the prosecution, in my opinion, is taking a lot of risk.

There are 2 reasons why Bagangeños are supporting the clearing of fiber optic cable or WiFi lines.

1. Cleanliness. I believe the LGU is doing its best to keep our municipality clean. This is to prevent spaghetti wires in the future. Baganga is a tourism hub, and the government has the duty to maintain its cleanliness and beauty.
2. Safety. Daig kaso ng accident tungod sa mga yag bitay na mga wires na wala atimana ng mga network providers. Kasagaran ag kasaghidan ng mga trucks na e kabit ng provider sang pedestal na e provide ng electric consumer. Most of the lines are dormant. Meaning, iyan lang yang wire, yakabagnot pero wa da gamita.

So kung ya wala yang internet mayo doon, it is not because of DORECO cutting the connections for clearing purpose, but because your internet provider is irresponsible.
