Q1. Meron ka ba follow-up question?
00:30.0
... And then they let people clean up the mess that they themselves created. Like what they did with Afghanistan, nasira yan. It's irreversibly damaged. Same with Iraq. So it's really no surprise what they're doing now. That gall, that bloody gall. It's almost shameless the way they treat the Philippines again right now from my perspective. So it's just America being America.
01:00.0
... Itong imminent na war, the possibility of war was brought to our doorstep by our own government. So yan yung issue dito for me. So my question to you is, may recourse pa ba ang gobyerno natin to backtrack, to undo the harm? I'm talking about the EDCA side. Is it still possible?
01:30.0
... na magkakaroon ng gera at yung kasiraan ng Pilipinas ay mangyayari? That's it Mayor. Thank you."
02:00.0
... become mobiles if there's any conflict. The fact is that we cannot get out of it anymore. We added more places where they can exist and congregate.
02:23.0
And these are the bases that was distributed in Luzon and in the Visayas and maybe in Mindanao. Ang pagkaalam ko, which I'm sure na nandyan talaga Lorraine is, kagaya di Oro dito sa Mindanao.
02:40.0
So yung kaya ko nang napabiro, I was talking with somebody together with, sabi ko tayo siguro must talk with Ambassador Wang. Sinabi ko sa Ambassador ng China, Davao is a bit too far from kagaya di Oro.
03:02.0
Hindi ko naman sinasabi na bumbahin ninyo ang kagaya di Oro. But if they would because the Americans, if the Chinese would do it, just because the Americans are there, that would precipitate really.
03:25.0
So kasi yung mga bases, they would have the missiles. And the missiles would easily reach the China Sea and into the military installations there, the extensive military installations of the China Sea.
03:55.0
So why are you not our defenders and protectors? Why are you allowing this? So my other question, my last question, Mayor, is how imminent is war?
04:25.0
If I would place the scale of an imminent war in a scale of one to ten, I would place the situation right now in seven.
04:55.0
Whether or not the Philippines would be struck, I would place it at eight or nine because of the basis of the Americans there. Alam mo, if there is war, it would not be started by Taiwan against China.
05:15.0
Puro inchicken sila eh, Chinese. And besides, they do not want it. Ayaw naman itong American, itong Taiwanese government because of the Taiwan country itself. Ayaw nang bumalik doon sa mainland.
05:33.0
But you know, history will tell us, and even the groupings of the landmark, that Taiwan sits closely in a matter of minutes with the Chinese in the mainland.
05:56.0
And China has always been a part of China, Taiwan rather. Kaya nang report between the Mao Zedong and the Xi Jinping, natalo itong nationalist, which was backed up by America.
06:18.0
So they retreated to the island of Taiwan. And because of the timely arrival of the American assistance, so ang China was stalled from proceeding further. So yan ang totoo dyan.
06:37.0
So ito ngayon, pag ipinilit ng sabi nga nila, according to the declaration of President Xi Jinping, that whether Taiwan likes it or not, she will have to go back to the folds of the motherland.
06:53.0
And America naman says, Taiwan, of course, ayaw nila. Even the service, I think, would give you the result that most of the Taiwanese would prefer where they are.
07:07.0
Pero kung sinabi ng mga Taiwanese na maglaban sila, it is America who is giving them the backing that, sige, back upin ka namin, basta pag-awain ka.
07:20.0
So ngayon, if war breaks down or violent breaks down by intentional or unconsciously made, nang mag-collide lang itong mga aeroplano zooming around between the island of Taiwan, itong America and the Chinese Air Force, the Nationalist Air Force at itong Communist Air Force,
07:46.0
pagka nabunguan nila sila, it will precipitate a war. And Taiwan would be the battleground between China and America.
07:59.0
America realizes that Taiwan would be the battleground so walang airport doon safe for take-off and landing to maintain their bases.
08:08.0
Ang America, ginamit yung otak nila na Sialok, nag-retreat sila. Anong nakita nila? Luzon. Kaya naghihingi silang military bases doon. Tapos they add another one, another one, another one until it reached Mindanao. Kaya yan ngayon ang problema.
08:34.0
So pagka naka-gera, tatamaan yung Taiwan, would be the main battleground. Pero in the course of the fight, they have to include the Philippine Islands because nandiyan yung mga base military.
08:56.0
They would never hit the Philippine Army or the Philippine Air Force. They're not interested in that. But because the Americans are here in the sidelines, talagang titirahin nila yan. Because nandiyan yung mga missiles rin, aimed at China. So yan ang problema.
09:18.0
Now how to, yung sabi mo nga, to extricate now. So when you use the term now, you might be obviously meaning now. Mahirap na kasi nabigyan na nga eh. Ilang base na tuloy, hindi ilang dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima, hanggang dumating ko ng kagayan ni Uro.
09:41.0
So Lorraine, medyo mahirap na tayo because we have always been saying hallelujah, amen. Sa panahon ko, I can only do so much. But I was not, I'm not really sure at the time.
09:57.0
But ayaw ko ngayon. But I can only talk for my, during my term. Hindi ko sigurado kung if the military, Philippine military and the police would have the same thinking of what I am adopting.
10:16.0
It's not because I hate America. It's not because I like China more than anybody else. I am just thinking of my own country, period. Wala na akong program dyan sa iba.
10:46.0
Well, my answer would be, iba, kung kailan mo ako tanungin, I would answer the question myself, I would say, we will hit you because you are entertaining so many American bases.
11:01.0
So the American bases would be the staging ground for an attack by air or missiles or what, galing Philippines papuntang China. Sila lang man ang may away, wala man tayo. As a matter of fact, I'm going to China maybe in the next few days.
11:31.0
Kaya mga Pilipino, buta kayo ng America, insulto pa kayo lo. Go to China, you have so many places. And itong mga Chinese will behave courteous, hindi nang babastok silang tao. Medyo stricto lang sa immigration. But all immigration everywhere, in whatever country, are strict.
11:53.0
If you're entering a country, you have always so many questions to ask. And even us. If you are entering the Philippines, you have to go into a gamut of series of questions by the immigration people, which is correct. Pero grabe ang Amerikano.
12:13.0
Sabi ko nga siya, example lang yung RILO. Tinanong niya, Pilipino, tinanong niya na, ang Kapilay, parehong Philippine Airlines. Tinanong niya ang Pilipino as customs palabas na from immigration. Tinanong niya ano yung RILO mo. At talaga yung ano yan, Rolex talaga na totoo.
12:34.0
But because he was thinking that he would say it's genuine, it would be taxable. So, maybe escaping the rigors of taxation. Sinabi niya, fake. Sabi niya ng Amerikano, tanggalin mo. Tignan natin. Fake. Lagay niya, binasag.
12:56.0
Well, just a simple what's. Maybe because in America, it's not even good to be holding just mere possession of a fake contraband. Of whatever make.
13:18.0
Itong mga products, itong mga shades na gano'n. If it is fake, it is really prohibited. You're not supposed to hold it. Kaya Kinuha, kung binasag yan sa harap mo, kasalanan mo.
13:35.0
Because you're advised that counterfeits are not allowed to enter in the United States. Gano'n nakatindihan sila.
14:06.0
What if the real defenders and protectors of our country, our AFP and the PNP, what if they make that principled stand and say we do not want to be part of any of this and take that down, take those EDCA sites down? Is it still possible?
14:20.0
Because what we're saying now is that we're just going to accept the death of our country and the death of millions of Filipinos. And that's not acceptable from where I sit. So is that possible? Is it still pwede pa ba yan na ang AFP at PNP ay tumayo ng mataas at matingkad para sa Pilipino? Malinaw na iti-depensahan tayo at poprotektahan?
14:51.0
I think sa aking life, mas pataas pa nila sa aking paningin ang pagtingin nila sa bayan nila.
15:03.0
And if the military guys would realize sooner, I hope it would not be later, it would be a detriment, it would place in jeopardy the existence of the Republic of the Philippines.
15:21.0
They would put up a stand and say enough is enough. Remove the bases, go towards, even if it's in nearby Taiwan, we will all suffer from the effects of whatever bombs that you may drop there, but stay out of our country. Because we never really messed up with you.
15:48.0
Hindi ba tayo, hindi nga tayo makakuha ng visa magpunta ng Amerika, yung Amerika ngayon magpunta ng base militar? You're not even getting a visitor's visa? How many are denied every day? Those are people who are really qualified to have the money and have no intention of… Anong makukuha mo doon?
16:18.0
Maybe, let us say, every day you work for about 8 hours, you get a double jobs to… If you earn about $20 an hour, lagay na din 30 minutes.
16:48.0
About one third of that will go to the government of America, or even more, even more. That would only be good for the top, for the entire United States.
17:06.0
San is the local, kung baga sa Pilipinas pa, ordinances, or the state laws, if you want to say it, to put it in another way. Walang umpuntahan doon. Alis lang kung mayaman ka, pero umpunta ka doon para magtrabaho. Jesus, Mario, patay ka doon.
17:31.0
Bakit ba pala nagsiuwian niya ng mga Pilipino dito? Kailangan ko gusto akong sabihin, pero ayaw ko na mainsulto yung… I do not want to insult anybody.
17:45.0
Pero ako, ako mismo, umpunta doon. I work to my asa. Every day, yan lang ang makukuha ko. Well, comfortable, monthly, sa salary mong kotse, bahay.
18:10.0
Ang mortgage naman lahat. Wala namang bahay doon naman iyo. Seldom. Siguro wala pang 30 kung may isa lang na talagang kanya. It's always mortgage. Tapos after so many years, you get to be 60, 65, uwi ka dito to get the salary, or you're in 30 every retirement. How much?
18:34.0
I get laid away. Pero pagtanda mo dito, balik mo, matanda ko na masyado. And you'll think it's all milk and honey up there. Ayaw ko lang mag-insulto, pero siguro karamihan.
18:52.0
Well, of getting fair return of their task, physical task every day. For the most part of it, ako ang mapunta. Kung ako mapunta doon, ganda lang ibayad mo sa akin. Tapos pag-retire ko mag-uwi ako dito, nakaano na ako?
19:19.0
I've spent all my energy there, fixing America, and for nothing. Eh, magdito na ako sa Pilipinas, mag-mayo na lang ako, hindi kaya mag-presidente. Bakit pa ako mag-trabaho sa inyo?
19:35.0
Hmm. Iyon ang sad story ko dyan. Do not ever, ever think, ever, ever think that America, for the most part of all mga Pilipino, tayong average lang.
20:01.0
Ang masakit dyan, yung mga valedictorians natin, yung mga maglakong laude, kinukuha nila kaaga dyan. Offered scholarship and everything. So when we are there, they stay there forever.
20:16.0
And become citizens there, doctors. Yung mga bright talaga natin, yung mga valedictorians namin doon sa America. Puro mga bright. Kinukuha ka agad nila.
20:39.0
Well, at least dyan kasi may talent, may otake. Maybe higher than what is usually paid to a Filipino. Kung worker, patay ka.
20:53.0
Mabuti kung punta ka doon, kasagay ka ng sports car, tapos ang driver mo si Pastor Kibuloy, Mercedes Benz pa, okay na. Mga ulol, akala nila ninanakaw ni Pastor yung pera nila.
21:14.0
There's always a prize for success. Alam mong IRS, tingnan ka agad yung saan mo kinukuha yan. They are very good, very keen.
21:32.0
Matit actually. Problem ah, hindi naman lahat ganon.
