Nagkakaproblema itong isang connection natin dito ah, bakit ang bagal.

Kameta!

Ayan na, ayan na mga kameta!

Bulultuli tayo.

Kaya for some reason itong connection natin hindi optimal sa laptop natin dito.

So I'm using a different laptop lang kasi medyo nabibigatan tayo dun sa mga ibang laptops natin.

Kaya I'm using a lighter one.

But for some reason hindi siya ganun ka lakas sa internet.

So I don't know why.

Baka siguro kailangan natin ng something like an iPod.

iPod siguro, iPod Pro or something.

Anyway, we'll figure that out later on.

In the meantime, maganda naman at least yung resolution.

Okay, ito ito ito mga kameta.

Kamusta kayo dyan?

I hope you're having a good weekend.

Of course, sobrang busy tayo over the past week.

Marami tayong pinag-usapan.

Pinag-usapan po natin among other things yung paglaya.

Finally free si Senator Laila de Lima.

Well, we are currently trying to arrange an interview with Senator de Lima sometime next week based dun sa schedules natin.

I'm sure you have seen interviews of Senator de Lima.

Even other channels, including on other YouTube channels among others.

But as you know, I mean, I and Senator de Lima, in one way or another, you know, we have been in touch with her.

I've been in touch with her office.

I've written her letters.

She also forwarded many things to me.

We had a chance to talk to each other before when she was in detention.

So, you know, and as you see, you know, on her page, you can see many times that, you know,

they also shared some of the articles that they wrote about her case.

And, you know, as critical as I have been of opposition and all,

I think Senator de Lima has been one of the most impressive ones out there.

And it's one of the persons that I always felt was was the right role model for what an opposition leader should look like.

Hindi pa pwede pa safe, hindi pa pwede pa cute, dapat palaban.

And that's one thing that we saw with Senator de Lima and has always been a great source of inspiration.

Now, obviously, no one is perfect.

We can discuss about a lot of things, but I think she's the closest that comes to, you know, the closest that we got when it comes to some sort of political martyrdom.

And.

And.

And fighting for democratic Philippines is concerned.

Just a couple of things.

Pasensya na.

Kasi I don't know about my internet connection and all.

So I just wanted to make a short intervention here before heading to my other activities.

In fact, while nandito pa tayo out of town, I've been trying my best to do something different.

So walang production teams.

I'm essentially on my own.

And I've been trying to set up.

I've been trying to set up some.

Some lectures, something very different.

So yung inisip natin, mga kameta, is if we can, you know, I was thinking something different from politics, something different from politics, something that is something that is more reflective of the full range of things that keeps us interested.

So I'm just taping and on my own.

I mean, no production.

I'm just relying on lighting system, no makeup, nothing.

So a full range of things.

And stoicism.

On Edward Said, on Orientalism, on toxic masculinity, on politics and political analysis and democratic activism.

So I'm just recording a couple of lecture types and hoping later on magawa rin natin ng mga shorts out of that.

Some long lectures and shorts out of that.

So been working on that over the past few days and all.

Kaya ang dami natin nadala ng mga iba't iba't mga costumes and coats and all.

Hindi pa tayo pupunta sa kasal sa mga lecture taping yan.

So I sincerely hope that you guys will appreciate it once those lecture types come out.

Please support, please encourage.

Because in the West, you know, usually what they do is they have a Patreon account.

So, you know, some, you know, like Jordan Peterson type of guy gives a lecture and then, you know, raises thousands of dollars in Patreon.

And that makes his time worth it, right?

Because hindi pa madali gumawa ng mga lecture type vlogs, you know, because it takes years of scholarship.

It takes a lot of...

It takes a lot of familiarity with the literature.

But also, it takes a lot of effort to record them and make sure na medyo maayos-ayos.

Although, again, low-budget version yung ginawa natin.

Now, let's go to the latest news na meron tayo.

So, mukhang hindi natuloy ang meeting, after all, ni Marcos Jr. and Musk, Elon Musk.

So, the Marcos-Musk meeting did not happen.

I was checking in terms of updates on the APEC.

So, I wrote a piece or two about, you know, what's up with the APEC Summit.

The big meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping.

Now, as you know, the meeting between Biden and Xi Jinping was very important

because yung dalawang higante na yan have been flirting with one kind of conflict or the other.

And things have been pretty tricky for the two countries in the past few months.

Barely any kind of institutionalist dialogue.

So, walang masyadong, you know, pag-uusap, ano?

And sabi nga ni Churchill, di ba, better always jaw-jaw than war-war.

And we have had more of world wars than...

And then, direct dialogue and conversation between two superpowers.

So, some semblance of dialogue between two superpowers have been re-established.

Now, interestingly, hindi na karoon ng meeting between Marcos and Biden.

So, some people thought maybe that's some sort of a snob.

Because Biden wants to patch it up a little bit with Xi Jinping.

Ayaw niya mag-meet kay Marcos because Marcos is kind of anti-China right now.

I don't think that's true.

I don't think that's true.

I don't think that's true.

I don't think that's true.

I don't think that's exaggerated.

I think Marcos himself is looking for something new, something different.

Hindi lang mga meeting about military and all.

And that's why nag-arrange sila.

He and a number of other people in San Francisco on the sidelines of the epic summit,

nag-arrange sila ng meeting with tech titans and potential big investors.

Because I think Marcos Jr. also realizes that hindi pwede purong military, purong EDCA, mga gano'n.

Not to mention may risk yung mga gano'n, no?

But no choice tayo.

Binuli tayo ng six years.

Tatay geopolitics.

Parang gay geopolitics.

Hindi kumana.

So, we have to do something different.

But,

our relationship with the United States cannot be just about military.

It cannot be just EDCA.

It cannot be just about China.

It has to be also about investment in the Philippines.

And in that,

you know,

in that spirit,

essentially,

Marcos arranged

a meeting with Elon Musk.

So, actually,

what happened is that hindi natuloy.

So, over Twitter,

actually, sinabi Marcos na

may nakaroon na missed opportunity

because the two were supposed to meet.

So,

in an interview with the press,

reporter sabi ni Marcos Jr. na

ito ay missed opportunity

because Elon Musk could not attend

because he fell ill.

He was supposed to come here in San Francisco.

Marami siyang ka-meeting.

Dapat dito.

Pero,

pinalitaan kami na nakasakit nga.

So, in English,

he was supposed to meet with a lot of people,

including leaders.

But, we were informed that he got sick.

Kaya, wala muna.

So, no meeting for now,

which is a missed opportunity.

I was really looking forward to it.

But, we'll find ways to get to meet him

again sometime in the future.

Of course, the chairman, CEO,

and CTO of,

American Spacecraft Manufacturers,

SpaceX,

in addition to, of course,

the owner of Twitter,

now known as X,

and also the owner of Tesla.

We have had much to discuss with him

in terms of the technologies

that we would like for Tesla,

for example,

to bring to the Philippines,

specifically battery technology,

even the manufacture

of fully electric vehicles.

All of these things

that we're hoping to be part of

in the future.

So, President Marcos Jr.

was hoping to discuss

even Tesla production,

not just Tesla import.

Kasi,

kakabukas,

lang yung Tesla shop

dyan sa ETSA yata, no?

I mean, good luck with that.

Ang ganda-gandang kotse mo.

Wala, ang mahal naman

ang electricity,

ang good luck naman

sa traffic and all of that.

So,

let's see what's up there.

Now, I mean,

as I said,

hindi tayo dapat

hanggang consumerist,

consumerist lang tayo.

We have to actually work

towards producing

electric vehicles

or at least being part

of the production processes

because EVs

are the future.

In fact,

they're almost the present

in many parts of the world.

You go to Scandinavia,

you go to Denmark,

you go to,

to,

to,

to many countries,

they're almost fully electric

or at least

yung mga public transportation

yung fully electric,

you know,

whatever car it is, no?

So, well,

the leader in the industry

is Elon Musk

and that's why we wanted

to see him.

We still want to see him

and so we'll find

an opportunity to do that

as soon as we can, no?

Aside from meetings

with Musk,

President meeting,

President Marcos

was also meeting

with Prime Minister Trudeau

also did not push through.

Hindi na tuloy,

I didn't push through

because what happened

was the session yesterday

ran very late.

I think we came out

of the one hour

behind schedule.

So,

two,

two week meetings

did not push through.

Nevertheless,

President Marcos Jr.

managed to meet

Vice President Kamala Harris.

Of course,

they discussed

the South China Sea.

Kamala Harris

was, of course,

in Manila last November

also discussed South China Sea.

In fact,

pumunta siya sa Palawan

and if I'm not mistaken,

she boarded

the Filipino Coast Guard vessel.

Nag-meeting din,

mga kalatina natin,

nag-meeting din

with Peruvian President

Dina Buloarte

who invited

Marcos Jr.

to Peru

for the 31st

APEC meeting

as well as

to mark the 50th year

of the

bilateral relations

between the Philippines

and Peru.

Yung mga Peruvian.

So,

hopefully in the future,

mga kameta,

mag-Latin America,

Peru,

Lima tayo.

Lima.

So,

yan.

Don't worry,

yung interview natin

ni Senator De Lima

try natin i-arrange.

Pero ito,

Lima, Peru.

Dami mga Michelin star

ano dyan.

Ganda nun,

diba?

And President Marcos

like us had a

pull-aside meeting

with Chinese President

Xi Jinping

where they talk about

the recent tensions

in the West Philippines.

So,

in fairness naman,

si President Marcos Jr.

is also trying to have

a conversation

with Chinese counter

part.

And he likewise

also met with

TikTok CEO

Shuzi Xu

to discuss

how to use the platform

to help small businesses

in the Philippines.

So,

just a quick side.

So,

nag-meeting si Xi Jinping

and BBM.

And in fact,

the meeting

was quite cordial,

quite friendly.

Smiley,

smiley yung dalawa na yan.

Because,

actually,

President Xi Jinping

of China

has been on a kind of

charm offensive tour.

He met

President Xi Jinping

and Governor Newsom

of California.

They had a fantastic

conversation together.

His meeting with Biden

was not too bad.

Quite friendly

given everything.

And then,

he also undersized

that meeting with

other world leaders,

very friendly.

And, of course,

also with Marcos Jr.

No?

So, President Marcos

dun sa diskosyon niya

with China

said that

yung West Philippines

issue is still

a work in progress

after his meeting

with President Xi Jinping.

This was a pull-aside meeting.

So, it was not a full

bilateral summit meeting.

But, at least,

President Marcos

said that he voiced

to President Xi Jinping

yung concern

natin

on some of the incidents

that were happening

between Chinese vessels

and Philippine vessels

culminating in actual

collisions we have seen before

and hopefully to find ways

to avoid that

and ways to move forward

from this situation.

So, he likewise told

President Xi Jinping

that he wanted to go back

to the situation

where, quote,

Filipinos and the Chinese

were fishing together.

So, some sort of

joint fisheries agreement

is something that's still

being considered

by President Marcos.

I think, Marcos,

we were in agreement

that the problems

that we have

in the South China Sea

with China

should not be

the defining element

of our relationship.

But, nonetheless,

the problems remain

and it is something

that we need

to continue to communicate

to find ways

to avoid such incidents.

Ironcide President Marcos

yung meeting namanya

with Kamala Harris

also focused on these issues

and President said

that he wanted

to get Xi's view

of the ongoing tensions

and discuss ways

to bring down

the temperature

to not escalate

the situation

in the West Philippine Sea

and we'll put

all of this together

so we'll be able

to strategize

for the near future

and what the Philippines

role will be

or what is

the proper Philippine role

in the West Philippine Sea.

So,

you could see

major torture

during language.

There's an effort

to find a common ground

but things are going

to get more interesting

in the coming months

because President Marcos Jr.

is likely headed to

in the Pacific Command

sa Hawaii,

in the Pacific Command

of the United States.

I think no foreign leader

has done that

in recent memory

so that would be

quite something.

But at least

there's an effort

to find a kind of

a common ground

with China

or at least to say

ayaw naman ng gyera.

So, kung may problema dito

ito ay dahil doon

sa mga pupubuli

ng ngayon.

So, hopefully

the bullying goes down

and then find a way forward.

Now, doon naman

sa conversation niya

with Kamala Harris

sa Bini Marcos.

She was very interested

to know what her assessment

was on the situation

in the West Philippine Sea

and I just went through

the basic facts of the matter,

what happened

in the past few months.

We tried to discuss

some of the ways forward

and I think that

generally speaking,

especially after my meeting

with President Xi,

which I'm going to have

sometime today,

this is before,

after that we will

put together the way forward.

So, in fairness,

you could see

President Marcos Jr.

is talking to

the Chinese leader,

talking to Kamala Harris,

trying to find

the way forward.

It's torture,

it's difficult,

but it's important

to have those kind

of conversation

para hindi mukhang

tayong nagaanap

ng trouble

because that's

an unfortunate thing.

Meron tayong mga kapitbahay

na they try to make it look

um,

ayan na yung mga troll na yan,

pagbigyan niya,

kailangan kumita mo yan,

paubos na yung ano na,

wala na silang fund.

That's just,

alam niya yan.

Anyway,

I'm just going to be

quick about this

kasi, you know,

this is the weekend na yan

and I want everyone to rest.

So,

overall,

you know,

the APIC summit was like,

okay lang.

At least,

you know,

there was an effort

to reach out to Xi Jinping,

there was an effort

to see how things move

with China

and also with the US,

how we can get

the best help possible.

The meeting with Elon Musk

didn't push through,

but at least there was

an effort to move

on that front

and look at how the Philippines

can become an investment

destination.

It's not going to be easy.

We have to create

the right conditions for that.

I mean,

both in terms of getting

high quality investment

and also in terms of getting

things right with China

and the United States,

this is,

this is not going to be easy.

Kaya dapat tuloy-tuloy

itong mga diplomacy na ito.

Overall,

I think that was an important

and necessary visit

by President Marcos

and given everything,

I don't think he did too bad.

I think he's on the right track

in terms of reaching out

and let's see

what will be the follow

through efforts.

But watch out also

for Marco Jr.

visiting Hawaii soon

for,

to talk to the Pentagon

on ways to push ahead

with ETCA

in ways that will enhance

the Philippines'

national interest.

The important thing here

is that

our red lines is clear

both to the United States

and also to China

and accordingly

we push for our national interest

in the meantime sana

we do also

what is necessary

so that the Philippines

becomes an attractive

investment destination.

On that note,

thank you very much again

mga kamenta.

So I have to go back

to mga other stuff

na ginagawa natin.

We just,

you know,

I'm just looking at

doing things differently

and hopefully

our internet connection

will be better

in the future occasions.

I don't know

what's going on here

dito sa internet natin,

dito sa broadcast.

Bagyo.

But hopefully

we'll move

in the right direction.

Right?

And we want to diversify

our content

and what we get out there

and also have to set up

you know

to make sure

we get the shorts

and everything out there.

Anyway,

this is the best we can do

under the given circumstances.

I hope you guys

appreciate it.

Thank you very much again

for everyone

who has been

constantly with us.

Try ko ma-catch up

with Lola

before I get back

home again.

So, thank you.

Maraming salamat.
