Nekos na nekos natin yan.

Okay, ganito.

Wait, nasa na tayo? Anong sasabihin ko?

Nawala na sabaw na.

Ito, ito, ito.

Doon sa mga empresaryos

ni tatay,

doon sa mga supporters ng former administration,

ito lang sasabihin ko,

I'm not very sure about

your moral ascendancy or even intellectual.

Isin natin yan.

I didn't say capacity.

I didn't want to say something as capital.

Okay, ito.

Ito, ito.

Doon sa mga...

Okay, ulitan natin yan.

1, 2, 3, showtime.

Talagang live na.

Wala talaga.

Lalo pag low budget, ganun.

Sabay-sabayan na lahat.

Okay, 1, 2, 3.

Showtime, action.

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3.

Okay, take 2.

Okay, alright.

Now, let me be very clear.

Doon sa mga nagle-lecture

sa kasalukuyan na administration

or nagle-lecture sa taong bayan

okul sa Asian and West Philippine Sea.

In particular, I'm talking about

the impresarius of the former president,

former president Duterte

and those who supported

his brand of essentially pro-China foreign policy

or, you know,

very servile, if not fully subservient policy

towards China.

Let me be very clear about this, people.

Very questionable kung meron kayong

any moral ascendancy

and very questionable kung meron kayong

enough intellectual capital

to make that argument

because for 6 full years,

at least,

Tatay Digong was super nice to China.

He didn't assert arbitration award.

He threatened our alliance

with the United States

on multiple occasions.

He did not allow ETCA

to be fully implemented.

He threatened the Visiting Forces Agreement.

He even threatened earlier on

to kick out Americans altogether

and ally with China and Russia

against the world

and all of that kind of drama.

And he was promised

24 billion pesos in investments and all.

And what did we get in those 6 years?

In exchange for everything

that Tatay Digong did for them, right?

Well, aside from the POGO investments and all,

what did we get?

Where's the Mindanao Railway Project?

Where's the Clark High-Speed Railway Project?

I mean, name me a single big ticket.

Big ticket.

Hindi yung mga kinulayan lang

at ginagana-gana lang

yung isang bridge dyan

tapos purong mga galing din sa kanila

yung mga workers and contractors

na sila lang kumita.

Hindi yung gano'n na.

I'm talking about real

big ticket infrastructure projects.

Right?

Like what we see in Bandung, Jakarta.

O, the big ticket infrastructure projects.

Very delayed and all.

But something along those lines.

Big ticket infrastructure projects.

Show me.

None.

Zero.

Zilch.

Nada.

Right?

So that was pledge trap.

Kaya sabi ko,

mali yung opposition

at saka yung mga dilawan

at saka yung mga kaka-dead trap.

Dead trap presupposes,

I've been saying this since 2018,

dead trap presupposes

that investments will come in

but under very questionable terms.

But I always said,

it's just pledge trap.

It's just pledges.

Empty pledges

that are meant to soften

the Philippines

position

on the South China Sea

on its alliance

with the United States

among others.

But in exchange for really

nothing much.

Now,

we can have a long discussion

kung sino talaga may kasalanan din

but the reality is that

all of those billions

of supposed investment

there are more pledge trap

than dead trap.

Okay?

Now,

if you look at the West Philippines

si lumala din yung situation.

Kung titignan mo yung militarizasyon

ng mga fake islands

na ginawa ng China

sa Kalayaan Group of Islands,

yung mga iba na

dapat atin

or kiniklaim natin,

lumala yung mga yan.

In fact,

na-consolidate yung militarizasyon

ng China.

Paano ni Digong yan?

So,

every evidence

suggests

that the Digong way

of going like that

to China

and hoping they'll be nice to us.

In fact,

as Duterte put it,

you know,

be meek and humble

and you'll get mercy from China.

That thesis

has been completely disproven.

And let's not forget

it was under Digong

that the Reed Bank

Repto Bank incident happened.

Namuntik na matay yung mga

more than a dozen

Philippine in Denver incident.

Nangyari din sa mga

iba't-ibang

areas.

Nang Kalean Group of Finance.

Inarmada tayo

ng mga malisya nila.

So,

it's absolutely clear.

Absolutely clear

that the Digong way

of dealing with China,

it just doesn't work.

Zero concessions from China

on any important issue.

Zero big-ticket

infrastructure projects.

Therefore,

yung mga invested

sa ganyan policy

na may zero,

right?

Zero real

dividends for the Philippines

have zero

moral ascendancy

and

arguably zero

intellectual capital.

Right?

To lecture us

on what to do

moving forward.

Now, having said that,

I am still for engagement

with China.

I'm still for exploring

the best possible

compromise there.

But we have to be clear

with our red lines.

And we have to be clear

that as much as we welcome

high-quality investments

from China,

that should not come

at the expense

of our sovereign rights

in the West Philippine Sea.

And at the end of the day,

any investments that comes in,

it has to be mutually beneficial.

And it has to rely also

on the Filipino technology

or at least

Filipino labor.

It has to hire

Filipino workers.

And it has to be

high-quality,

sustainable,

environmentally-friendly

infrastructure projects.

Now, as long as we can

keep those basics

clear in our engagement

with China,

I have no problem

whatsoever dealing with them.

But those red lines

have to be clear.

And once those red lines

have become clear,

then I think we can have

a very good relationship

with China.

Because guess what?

The country I am in right now,

Singapore,

has a fantastic relationship

with China.

Well, they don't have

territory to deal with,

but every time they have

a problem,

they stood their ground.

Indonesia,

nung binuli sila ng China

sa North Tennessee,

nagpadala sila ng mga

F-16 fighters,

nagbumunta dyan sa Jokowi,

nagpadala sila ng warships,

they stood their ground.

And now,

Indonesia and China

have fantastic relationship.

In fact, China just finished

yung Bandung project nila.

Yung Bandung-Jakarta

high-speed railway project nila.

So I can go on and on

with many examples.

Australia, for instance,

for many years,

ang laki ng problema nila

with China.

And China was angry at them

for introducing

counter-influence operations

kind of legislations

for fighting

for restricting

Chinese investments

in their critical infrastructure

for calling for

independent investigation

in the source of origins

of COVID-19.

But China kept on

threatening them.

They said they will

impose sanctions.

In the end,

Australia stood its ground

and now you have

Australian Prime Minister

Albanese going to China

and everything went

more or less well.

So that's the point.

If you stand your ground,

hindi ka magpa-intimidate,

hindi ka ututol,

katulad nung isa,

right,

you will get their

grudging respect.

And then you can negotiate

for a good

relationship

and for a good

proper compromise

dyan sa West Philippine Sea.

But compromise

doesn't mean

peace

under conditions

of subjugation.

It has to be

a just peace.

And it has to be

a peace and a compromise

that is in accordance

dun sa ating saligang batas

and prevailing

modern international law,

United Nations Convention

on the Law of the Sea.

And we already have

a ruling on that.

On that note,

thank you very much,

maboy ang Pilipinas

and salamat,

marami salamat

sa inyong supporta

making us the number one

political podcast

in the Philippines

and

among top 100

political podcasts

in many,

in number of other countries

including here in Singapore.

So we hope to push for

number one

in all podcasts.

Hopefully sa Pilipinas

one day may job

sa good ambitions

again.

But if we can make it to

at least top 10 or 20

all podcasts,

all categories,

then, you know,

that will be quite an achievement.

And hopefully we can be

at least among the

top 10 podcasts

in Asia

if not in the world, right?

So thank you so much

for your continued support.

God bless

and maboy ang Pilipinas.

Alright?

Talk to you soon.

God bless.
