S.M.N.I. Truth That Matters

Next in line is Dr. Lorraine Badoy, S.M.N.I. anchor of Laban Kasamang Bayan.

Doc Lorraine, you go ahead.

Post your question.

Lorraine, good evening, ma'am.

Hello, hello.

Oo.

Sorry.

Mayor, naka-mute kayata, Lorraine.

Oo. Parang lakasan mo yung ano mo.

Okay.

Good evening, ma'am.

You're good.

Good evening, pastor. Good evening, mayor. It's wonderful to see you, as always.

Mayor, I have a lot of questions swimming in my mind because Ambassador Romualdez said that these Afghan citizens are employed by the U.S.

Pero he didn't expound on the nature of their relationship.

So the questions, some of the questions that swim in my mind are, were they combatants versus the Taliban?

So ang tanong ko, mayor, is so if they were not, no?

If they claim that they weren't combatants versus the Taliban, why then are they so eager to come here or why is their safety in jeopardy?

So what I want to know from you, sir, is how far off am I from thinking that those Afghan citizens could be combatants or operators that the U.S. or the CIA used against the Taliban

and that they could be possibly used again by the U.S. to beef up the U.S. military pivot versus China?

And kasama nun, mayor, if you can segue also, how imminent is a war?

That to me is the front and center of my concern right now.

I'm really actually surprised that parang walang nagre-react dito, parang walang lumalaban dito sa yung possibility ng war na yan na sinasabi ninyo, mayor.

But so I want to know, in your opinion, how imminent is war in our country because of this EDCA, because EDCA is here?

Well, thank you, Lorraine.

For the first question, I would say that just because America says that they are good, that they are really good,

we cannot accept that, basing on our experience with them, the Americans, dealing with the Americans in the past.

Sinasabi nila, this is good, they are good, and it would be good for all countries like us.

On that basis of a guarantee, I do not trust the Americans.

So when they say that they are good citizens, they can be of service to your nation if need be, accept them because they would be assets.

I do not buy that stuff.

The Americans would go into lengths and excuses just to justify the reasons or give the reasons for their, make it more palatable.

We did not know this, guys.

Sabi mo nga eh.

It was a war that was turned into a civil strife revolution.

Any revolution would never know who is really for you and with you.

Some have gone underground, others maybe spies on the other side pretending to work for America, for all you know.

The past years it was all for convenience or as a matter of conviction.

That they have not been vetted correctly up to this time is something which is a question mark.

And a question mark is not always a good refuge.

It cannot be a sanctuary if you just say that it's just because it's positive or negative.

It's just a question mark.

So America may be right or America may be wrong.

And I would rather be wrong but on the right side.

Dito na muna ako sa, I cannot, it's, you know, why?

Why is that so?

It's because of the Americans themselves.

They have deceived so many countries, so many people.

Tapos, you know, America, sabi ko nga, wherever they are, they are, there's always trouble.

There is always trouble.

In Ukraine, for five years, I remember an article in the Time magazine that there were about 700 soldiers, U.S., in Ukraine.

They were foisting something more devastating.

They were trying to egg Ukraine from separate, to be a separate alliance with NATO

without even thinking that there is just a hairline boundary, an imaginary boundary between Ukraine and Russia.

So the Russians were agitated.

But the one thing wrong there is also because it was never right for Russia to conquer a country

just because they were trying to, listening to the Americans about joining NATO.

And just because of that suspicion or their desire to be so extensively safe

that they had to overrun the country and kill so many people and destroy the nation.

But in that, Putin is a good friend of mine.

I went to Russia just to make friends with him, to make friends with him.

Pero in this case, I do not see any moral justification of their actions, punitive actions taken against.

And in that sense also, the West, including America, is correct.

That they are really trying to prop up whatever is left of the country.

Hindi naman pwedeng nandiyan, sinira nila.

But yeah, it started with the Americans there.

Kaya yung kageneration ko.

Remember nila, ninyo yung panahon na yun.

You know, the Americans were really agitating Ukraine to join.

At ito namang Ukraine is just beside Russia.

And if you keep on pushing the guy to the right, to NATO, it will generate an insecurity.

Or maybe perhaps, it was really also the intent, the original intent of Russia to really get back Ukraine to its roots.

By force or by whatever means.

Yun ang problema dyan.

So, I'm answering your question.

Mayor, there's one valid concern of Dr. Lorraine Badoy here and I'll repeat it.

So, what I want to hear from you, Mayor, is how far off am I from thinking that those Afghans could be combatants or operators

that the U.S. CIA used against the Taliban and that they can possibly be used to beef up U.S. military pivot versus China?

Yes. They might be also training them.

They run into thousands, not only by the hundreds.

So, kung ganoon, if you train 100 good people, really giving them the good training, a very good training,

that very good training would give good training to others.

And this time, they can go their back as infiltrators and everything.

You know, Afghanistan is just beside Russia.

In the map, you look at the map.

Magkatabi-tabi lang yan sila lahat.

Kasaktan, basta puro yan, Tantan.

Basta yang mga countries na yan, I cannot memorize, I'm sorry.

No insults intended.

So, yan ang isa. Why? Why do we think of this?

It's because we do not believe the U.S., notwithstanding their guarantees and protestations.

And why?

And why?

Bakit nasabihin mo, Presidente, ako nagsasabi ako ng ganito?

It's because I'm with the Communists, with the Reds?

Of course not.

I mean, you know, my father was governor, remember.

Sa established order talaga.

When I was young.

When I was young, he was a governor before it was divided into so many cities.

I was a prosecutor for the government.

I was mayor for 21 years for the government.

Anong Presidente ako?

Magsabi ako na kakampi ako doon sa kapila?

Ano?

Yung pagdududan ng Amerika, what for?

Why will I even sympathize with the Reds? For what?

Sa ginawa nila ng mayor ako, pati Presidente, mga sundalo ako, pati poliskopi, nagpapatay nila?

Is it good?

For me at the time?

When I was still President? Or until now?

Kaya magdududan nila.

Ah, leftist yan si mayor. Anong leftist?

Bot-bot nga.

Presidente kaya ako gano'n, ako ka-fragile?

With that kind of frame, could you be a competent President of a Republic?

I mean, yung binto lang yan ng CIA pati namin, ah, leftist yan kasi gano'n.

The fact of the matter, when you disagree with them,

they always think that way.

Ah, if you are not my friend, then you are my enemy.

You could not be somebody as a strange person just standing there in the horizon.

Yan ang problema ng Amerika. Hindi, kasi ako maniwala.

I do not believe them. And we should not believe them.

And we should not rely on their own statement that just because they are brought here by them,

that they are already good for us also.

That's a lot of bullshit. Pardon the word.

But that's a lot of bullshit.

Mahirap yan.

So, I hope that by answering with the kind of words that I used,

you would notice that I really do not have trust in the double standard, yan.

From the office of the President of the United States, that's another thing.

Then you go to the State Department, they foment trouble everywhere.

And that is when the military goes in.

That has always been the case. Since time immemorial.

Kanon talaga. Pag nandyan yung Amerikano, magulo talaga. Magulo yan.

Philippines, kung hindi kanila gusto, well, by now siguro, I don't think that the,

our military, our policemen, they are not that,

but maybe in the past, it used to be the norm of conduct of CIAs to,

the CIAs to, operatives everywhere to destroy the government,

only think that it does not agree with America,

or does not align itself with the democratic principles set by America alone.

Wala akong tiwala sa ano nila.

Maybe aside from them, we should have an independent government personnel

of the Republic of the Philippines vetting alongside with them or in a separate process.

Vetting alongside with them or in a separate process.

It cannot be that America was interested to protect the United States.

They will want to know how to protect us. Would they really bother to think about that?

America is good for what is good for America.

America is bad if you do not agree with America.

And that is what ails this prevailing system now.
