Thank you for watching!

Jet Tolentino, Jet Tolentino Production, Asian Persuasions

I already suggest you guys to watch it sa kapon

Andun po tayo, kasama natin yung mga artists, mga sosyal na people

Sa likod natin si Casey Concepcion, si Gab Concepcion yan

Nakikifilling showbiz naman tayo dyan

I'm so proud of our good friend Jet Tolentino

Who we interviewed on our platforms, on my own podcast

And mga other platforms several times

At saka yung kanyang mga plano

Pagdating na bringing the Philippine cinema to the next level

So congratulations, Asian Persuasions

I suggest you guys go and check it

Medyo maraming hugot

It's a good fusion of Philippine-American culture, Philippine-Asian culture

But at the end of the day, meron pa rin may Pinoy flavor

May Pinoy flavor

At dun sa mga ibang pet peeves natin, may mention din dyan

So please go and check it out

I was very glad about how it turned out

Nung una medyo

Nerbiyoso tayo

I hope this turns out well

Because this is something big

This is something important

It's about putting the Philippines on the map

In the same way

Mga ibang Asian-American movies

Beef ba yun?

Crazy Rich Asians

They put a lot of Asian-American on the map

So we're hoping

This will be part of a bigger effort

To put the Filipino-American experience on the map

And also the Filipino on the map

So congratulations again

Dun sa kaibigan natin, Jet Tolentino

Dun sa kanyang new movie

Pag-usapan natin separately

Siguro I'll give a proper review of that

Once we get down

We get some downer time

Some breather

Now in the meantime

Ito mga kameta

May mabilisan tayo ng mga developments dito sa ating politika

Nako po

Things have been intensifying over the past 24 hours or so

So nag-share tayo ng video ni Vice President Sara Duterte

As of course you guys may know

It's not only Rodrigo

But Sara Duterte

And actually two other Senators

Have been placed dun sa

ICC probe document

So hindi lang si Rodrigo Duterte

Kasama din dyan si Sara Duterte

And if I'm not mistaken

Not only Bato De La Rosa

Shoutout naman dyan kay Bato

At mukhang si Bongo rin yata kasama dyan dun

So this is just quite something serious mga kameta

So if you're sorry Duterte

You're not only worrying right now

About what could potentially happen dun sa kanyang

You know

The pre-election

Of Vice President

But apparently she's also now on the list

So mga kameta pag-usapan natin yan

Before that obviously nakita niyo kaapon yung video

Na pinost natin from Sara Duterte

And there you could really see

Literally there's a change in tone

There's a change in cadence

There's a change in level of confidence

And pazas

And suave

And some would say yabang

And all of that

Nakita niyo

Even the tone is very very important

And very very different from what we're used to

From this powerful or

Maybe increasingly one's powerful family

So just to show again yung mga hindi nakita nung video natin

This went viral

Half a million views right now almost

Dyan sa Twitter feed natin

And I just also shared dyan sa Instagram

For some reason parang bumaba yung views natin sa Facebook

I don't know what happened

Just in the past week lang ha

Alam mo minsan suspicious talaga tong Facebook na to ha

To be honest ha

Because yung views po natin sa YouTube ha

Yung views po natin sa YouTube

Views natin sa Twitter

Lahat explode ngayon

Sobrang taas nung views natin

Thank God no

I mean

I think over the past month

Naka million views na tayo sa YouTube

Twitter

Minsan one post lang

Naka half a million views na tayo

Instagram

I'm also starting to get the ball rolling

Tiktok

Minsan tsyamba tsyamba

Pero naka 100k views na rin tayo

With the few posts that I made over the past few days

So I'm trying to get back into TikTok also

And also try to work that out

Also shout out dyan sa ating colleagues

Sa ating cousin na si Anton

Helping me out now with making shorts and all

Kasi kailangan ko talaga yung pagdating sa TikTok and all

Mga kameta talagang I'm spread thin

Sobrang pagod ako

I think people don't realize how hard it is

To organize people and bring them together

Lalo mga Pilipino

I'm very glad and very blessed na

We have friends like Ronaldo, Lisandro

We have young generation of scholars

Who bothered to join us

But you know

Generally it's very hard to organize interviews and all

Akala nyo yung interview lang mismo yung time na nilagay natin no guys

Mahirap talaga mag-organize mismo

So much effort goes in

I have no staff

I have no production team

So I do all of these things alone no

So kitang-kita ninyo medyo over-stretched na tayo

So thank you so much again sa mga sumusuporta

Yun lang

Minsan yung Facebook ko biglang bumababa eh

Kasi half a million views tayo few weeks ago

Ang taas ng views natin

Biglang this week bumaksak yung views natin sa Facebook

So I don't know what's going on

I don't know what's going on

Minsan suspicious yan

Remember yung ilang times na na-shutdown yung mga videos?

Na-shutdown yung mga live natin or something

Nung last year

Sobrang frustrating yan

We were going from millions of views a day or two no

To suddenly barely a thousand viewers a day

So that was a difficult transition pero

Maraming salamat sa Diyos

Medyo nag-diversify na tayo

So medyo malaki yung following natin ngayon

In different places

And malaki yung engagement natin on different platforms

Now this is not because

Mag gusto natin magpa-cute or anything like that

No this is about getting the message out

Dahil ang daming basura out there

Ang daming propaganda out there

Ang daming nabasura

Ang daming nonsense out there

So we have to push back against that

And we have to bring an informed discussion to the Filipino people

And I think they really deserve it

And sobrang tuwan-tuwa ako na

We have the privilege of having many friends

Na maraming kalaman

Maraming kanilang kalaman sa ating politika

Tsaka mga iba-ibang adhikain

So yun ang mga pinag-uusapan natin sa mga ating mga platforms

Also on podcasts

I think top 200 na tayo sa Pilipinas

Target po natin before the end of this year

God willing we go to the top 100 podcasts

In the Philippines

I think yun yung ranking

Nakalagay lang Philippines

So probably this is all podcasts in the Philippines

So being top 100 in the podcasts in the Philippines

Is a big deal for us

Kasi ang kalaban natin

Mga big celebrities

Media or journalists working with media outlets

Again this is just tayo-tayo lang yan

So thank you so much sa lahat ng mga sumusuporto natin

Like 50-60 countries na nagiginig sa atin over Spotify

I really really appreciate it

Yung mga Barbados

Tonga

Konga

Jersey

May bansa pala na Jersey

I didn't know that

It's British territory yata

So so many people are listening to us

Shoutout dyan sa mga kaibigan natin from Saudi Arabia

Many many people joining us from all around the world

Thank you very much for that

Now let's go back to this

Ito po yung pinakita ko the other day

Sorry ah medyo nagugut lang ako kasi

Minsan weird talaga tong Facebook eh

Hindi siya reasonable eh

Pero minsan agad doon, minsan hindi

I mean I'm not doing something too different

If anything nagiging more active tayo

We're sharing more even on Facebook

So I don't know what's going on there

Okay nang humuska dyan

Kung may shadow ban or something nangyari sa atin

Alright

But thankfully we have many platforms

So that's the point

Diversify ako

It was not easy

Precisely to make sure na

Pag may shadow ban or may kalukuan

I'm not saying that that's not happening

But I'm saying just in case

Meron tayong backup plan

Alright meron tayong backup plan

So thank you so much sa lahat ng mga sumusuporto sa atin

Sa iba't ibang platforms

Now let's go back to this mga kameta

Panoorin natin to

Masaya to, masaya to

So ito po yung video na

Sinishare natin the other day

Being the chief architect of

Respect the

Respect the ano

The position of the president

Being the chief architect of

Foreign policy

So yun po lahat na dapat na position natin lahat

Pero

We

We will continue

To

Reach out to the Department of Justice

Regarding our position on this matter

Ma'am when you say na makikipag-ugnayan tayo sa DOJ

So we will still push ha

Huwag dapat mag

Ito yung importante mga kameta

Yung makikipag-ugnayan sa DOJ

Wait lang

Di ba dapat independent yung mga investigations na yan

And then you're within the administration

Na makikipag-ugnayan tayo sa DOJ

So we will still push ha

Huwag dapat mag-imposisyon ng government

Pakikipagtulungan sa ICC

Just to be clear

Yes opo

We will continue to reach out

To the Department of Justice

Regarding our position on this matter

And we will lay down the legal basis

Of our position with the DOJ

Diba?

Yeah but the problem dun sa legal basis argument is

Diba mga kameta

We already had a number of conversations

Including with international international law experts

Like Professor Carranza

Dr. Carranza

Atty. Carranza

We also had a number of our own vlogs explaining

Why itong argument ng jurisdiction no longer holds

Clearly there is a determination

By the International Criminal Court

That the Philippine courts have not been doing a sufficient job

To deal with tens of thousands of alleged extrajudicial killing

So just showing a few cases here

And they're supposed to resolve

Doesn't go anywhere close to establishing

That the Philippine judicial institutions are

Undertaking what they're supposed to undertake

Given the scale of extrajudicial killing allegations

That are out there

By the way last night

I was also reading yung book ni Patricia Evangelista

Yung ating senior sa debate society dati sa UP

Mga small world yan

Kamelelo, Patricia

All of us we come from the same world

Very emotional, very strong

So I really also suggest you guys read that book

Based on the quote from Duterte

Some need a killing or something like that okay

Some people need a killing sir

So hopefully we'll arrange also an interview

With Patricia down the road

But let me read the book

Because I'm expected to do a review on it

For a number of international publications

In the coming weeks

So I'll get back to that

Kaya medyo last night medyo emotional tayo kasi

Etong issue ng mga extrajudicial killings

Again ha, again ha

Ang dami ako nakikita mga nagsasabi

Oh salamat sa drug warning ni Gong

We feel more safe

We feel, that's very important

We feel

So feeling lang pala yan

Because show me the evidence

That there's a sustainable reduction talaga

Of drug supply and overall criminality

How can you say crime is down

When murder rates are up

I mean when the worst kinds of crimes are up

How can you say crime is down

I mean that's ridiculous

That's dumb

More than that

Let me absolutely clear

How can we say for sure na yung mga pinatay

Tens of thousands including

Including hundreds of children

Paano mo alam na mga drug pusher mga yan

And paano mo alam talaga

Na big time drug lord yung mga yan

And even if drug lord mga yan

Or small time pusher mga yan

Did they deserve

To be just summarily killed

The way they were killed

And yun nga eh

We don't even know what happened there

Because it was under

It was shrouded under very very questionable circumstances

So yung mga elitista dyan

Na either gollyball na napapauto

Sa mga propaganda dyan

Or mga nagfe-feeling safe bigla

Kasi gusto nila i-justify yung kanilang kabubuan

Sorry to say that

You're feeling safe?

Is not worth a single life

A single innocent life

And you tell me with a straight face

That you're 100% sure dun sa 10,000

Or 20,000

Or 6,000

Even by government numbers na namatay

Lahat yan guilty

And guilty by what?

I mean

Summarily killing is not allowed

That's called extrajudicial killing

At lahat yan ng laban

And to say collateral damage lang yan

Shame on you

What if that collateral damage is you or your people?

Then you're gonna say it's collateral damage?

So shame on you

Shame on you

Alright?

And wag kayong mag-feeling massa dyan

Kung nagte-Twitter-Twitter kayo

So obviously may pera kayo pang internet

Pag mga English etc

So yung mga nagfe-feeling dyan

Ng middle class-middle class dyan

Umayis kayo dyan

Alright?

Okay

Let's go back to this issue

That's why I'm saying

This is very very important mga kameta

Because the fate of our democracy

Right?

Is at stake here

Not only the credibility of the ICC

Because the problem with the ICC is that

The bulk of the people that they prosecuted throughout the years

Come from Sub-Saharan Africa

I don't know, Liberia, Kenya, mga ganyan

Alright?

Barely

I mean

Arguably

Serbians

Right?

So they are yet to really go after people successfully outside

More or less the immediate surroundings of Europe

Right?

So in case if this pushes forward

This tells you a thing or two about

Whether ICC

Can really go beyond geopolitical parochialism

Right?

And they also have to prove to us

That wala silang institutional bias

Right?

This is very important

So ICC's own credibility is at stake here

It's very very important for them to get this question right

Because the ICC came out with the warrant of arrest for Putin

Just weeks after

I'm sorry

Just months after the war in Ukraine

Right?

Now people are asking

What about a situation we're seeing right now

Whereby more than 100 children are being killed on a daily basis

Not too far from Europe

What is ICC gonna do about that?

Is ICC gonna investigate it?

Because there are allegations of

You know

War crimes

Let's see

Let's see

But I'm saying the case of the Philippines

Ang tagal na to eh

Ang tagal na itong case ng Philippines eh

Ilan taon na yan

Diba?

Wala si tatay

Ano na?

Wala

Ano na?

Hindi pa rin na

So I

This is also an ICC

This is also up to ICC

ICC also has to prove

That they got

You know

They got what it takes

But you cannot also blame ICC kung binablock din sila

Ng mga ating authorities

Kaya very very important

Mga kameta

To see what the Marcos administration is doing

Now

In slight disagreement with my ka-R&R si Ronaldo

If you really look at the statement of Marcos Jr.

Because

You know what I do as a journalist

Because I write eh

When you write

You go through the quotes

One by one

One by one

One by one

You examine

And as a scholar also I see

Textual analysis

I examine

Actually Marcos Jr. is a little bit leaning to the other side

Kaya tingnan niyo yung mukha ni Sarah

When she's talking about this issue

She doesn't know

She doesn't look like a very confident person

Right?

She doesn't look like it

So with all due respect to some other people

I don't think Marcos was totally

You know

Obfuscating

I think medyo nag-lean siya towards one side

And this is what's interesting

Because marami nagtanong

Wait lang

Hindi ba conflict of interest yan?

Hindi ba questionable yan?

Na the vice president in the same administration

Will kausap yung DOJ

About an investigation that's supposed to be impartial

And independent?

So interestingly in response to that

The DOJ actually came in with a strong response

At sabi nila

Hindi kailangan na magsalita si Sarah about this issue etc

Because they're also feeling the heat

Right?

Because suddenly people are asking

Wait, wait, wait

What do you mean kakausapin nila Sarah

Itong DOJ?

What's that supposed to mean?

Alright?

So sabi ng DOJ

Hindi naman po kailangan mag-request

Dahil hindi naman po nagbago ang stance ng DOJ

Sabi ni Claverine

Sabi ni Clavano

Anyway

But of course the more important question here is

Is it even appropriate for do that

To do that

Now let's not forget that earlier

Margo Jr. said it's under study

Secretary Jesus Christman Ramulia said it's under serious study

Right?

So

And ito ha

Very important yun ha

Ito yung sinabi ni Clavano

Yung isang top official sa DOJ

Sabi niya

Kagaya siguro nang sinabi ni Secretary Ramulia

Pinapag-aralan lang po

Dahil may mga nagsalita galing sa Kongresa

At trabaho namin po na makinig sa ating co-equal branch of government

So it is true that the President is the ultimate architect of Philippine foreign policy

But it cannot completely ignore yung sinasabi ng Legislature

Because our very membership in the ICC had to go through the Senate fire ratification process

So the Legislature has to do something about this

At ito rin po yung sinabi

And I think that

And I think dito po sa amin sa DOJ

Sa ngayon

Ito pa rin po yung stand namin na wala pong jurisdiction ng ICC

Although of course magiging bukas kami

If ever meron po tayo nakikita ang pagbabago sa polisiya

So that's extremely important

Okay?

This quote is very very important

From the DOJ official

So in short

Hindi final ang lahat

Now

Katulad ng argument ko earlier mga kameta

I still doubt Marcos Jr. will go all in sa ICC issue niyan

Because as I wrote in my article today

Alright

As I wrote in my article today sa Philippine Daily Inquirer

That will be a declaration of war

On the Dutertes

And there will be almost a civil war

Mini civil war

Among them

Now we can debate about who has the upper hand

Obviously you can imagine that

Given the current circumstances

Parang sinking ship or sunk ship na yung one side

But I won't underestimate the other side

I won't also underestimate Marcos Jr.'s cause

I won't also underestimate Marcos Jr.'s cause

I won't also underestimate Marcos Jr.'s cautious nature

Right

So I don't think Marcos Junir

Will move ahead right away with the ICC

Will move ahead right away with the ICC

Unless he's absolutely sure

Unless he's absolutely sure

That they can take care of the fallout

Meaning he has been reassured by the people around him na

Meaning he has been reassured by the people around him na

Kami bahala

Ayusin namin yan

Will make sure

And also of course

If 100% support from outside

Including our European, American and Western partners

I'm just about to interview actually the

One of the important key ambassadors

The one of the important key ambassadors

to ask him also about this issue.

So, we'll have more discussions on that.

Don't worry, I'll post on that.

Also, check out yung sa YouTube po,

yung clips or yung full copy na interview natin

sa View from Manila sa One News TV 5.

So, you can check also interviews natin

with the senior officials, ambassadors,

undersecretaries, among others.

And of course, some important senator also quite soon.

Cross fingers.

Okay.

So, yun.

So, what I'm saying is,

that would be declaration of war.

But clearly, and clearly,

and this is what I'm gonna say, mga kameta.

This is what I'm gonna say, mga kameta.

What we are seeing right now is the third act

in a Shakespearean play,

as far as the Marcos-Duterte dynamics is concerned.

And let me explain very quickly

because I'm gonna end on this point.

I have to leave na, mga kameta.

Okay.

Naisin natin yan.

Para pwede gawin ng shorts.

Ito, ito.

Okay, okay.

Ito, ito, mga kameta.

Let me be...

Absolutely clear.

Naisin ko lang dito.

Okay.

Alright.

Let me be absolutely clear.

What we're seeing right now

is a kind of a Shakespearean play.

No?

Marco Jr. won

as a continuity candidate.

Pero alam natin,

the moment he won the top office,

and emphatically based on the official tally,

he began to sing to a different tune.

Kitang-kita natin yan, mga kameta.

Right?

First of all,

and this was the first act,

or act number one,

diba?

When he did not give

Sarah Duterte

the defense secretary position,

and connected to that,

when he did not give

the Speaker of the House,

or rather,

he did not facilitate

the Speaker of the House position

going to Gloria Macapagalaroid.

That was already act number one.

The second act happened

when nangyari

that whole tambalos-los.

Right?

Ah,

essentially,

explosion.

Whereby,

you had Sarah and Arroyo

versus,

essentially,

the President's right-hand man

in the Congress.

Right?

And,

his many supporters right now,

including the former allies

of the former President.

Right?

Now,

the tambalos-los episode itself

was an offshot

of Marco Jr.

chipping away

dun sa mga key legacies

ni Digong.

Yung kanyang drug war,

hindi kasing bara-bara.

Yung kanyang red tagging,

hindi kasing all over the place,

na hysterical.

And then,

pangatlo,

very importantly,

dun sa U.S. China,

clearly,

nag-recalibrate

si Marco Jr.

pagdating sa ating polisiya

sa West Philippine Sea.

And clearly,

he was distancing himself

dun sa pro-China,

pro-Beijing policies

ni Digong.

Right?

So,

that was Act No. 2.

And then,

Digong responded.

He went to China,

essentially,

a slap on the face

of the President,

diplomatically speaking.

And then,

over the coming months,

he began bashing

the administration

and calling the Congress rotten

as Act 3 came in,

which was the retaliation.

Right?

Yung Confidential Intelligence Fund.

So,

this is Act 3.

And,

let's see how this Act 3

is gonna end

because

it all goes down

to the decision

of Marco Jr.

If he is gonna go

and give the green light signal,

right,

to the ICC.

If he does that,

that's total declaration of war.

But,

Act 3 could have

sub-acts

if Marco Jr. believes

this is not the time to do it

or Marco Jr. may feel

that if he goes against Duterte's

and then Duterte's fight back,

he could be squeezing

between two sides

if the other side,

the progressive and opposition,

also take on him

at the same time

because, of course,

the Marcoses have their own baggage.

Right?

So, there's also

a lot of other dynamics

to keep in mind.

Kaya nga dapat sa political analysis,

you're looking at many moving parts

at the same time.

It has to be a multivariable analysis.

Multivariant analysis.

Yun po yung dapat

ginagawa natin.

So, yung mga nangyari

sa sabi sa'yo,

eto ang mangyari

dahil eto ang nangyari,

simplistic mag-isip mo yan.

They don't know how,

they don't know basic

political analysis, right?

Or social analysis,

for that matter.

On that note,

thank you very much, mga kameta.

Let's continue this kind of conversation.

Maraming pong nangyari,

maraming pong plot twists.

Actually, sub-plot twists.

Sabi ko,

nasa Act 3 na tayo

and may sub-plot twists potentially.

Let's see how it's gonna happen.

Now, the interesting thing is,

patapos ng taon,

so there could be

a spirit of holidays and all

and who knows,

maybe temporarily

there could be another patch up.

But much will also depend

on what Digong is gonna do next

because clearly,

his side,

nag-hemorrhage yung hanyang side,

yung hanyang aliado.

They're all defecting

to Martin Romaldes

and boom,

all of this,

the Act 3 will also be determined

by the calculus

vis-a-vis

the 20-25 midterm elections

which could be

very, very definitive.

So, you cannot separate

the ICC decision

from all of these other calculus

that is happening

at the same time.

On that note,

thank you very much.

Maraming salamat.

God bless

and talk to you soon.

Salamat mga kameta.

Talk to you soon.

God bless.
