01:01.8
Ito na, ito na, ito na, guys.
01:03.7
Pag-usapan natin ito.
01:04.8
Actually, you know, I'm supposed to join you guys
01:06.9
in around three hours from now
01:08.8
for yung inabangan na interview natin
01:11.6
with kaibigan natin dyan, si Chris Tan.
01:14.5
Yung isa pang influencer, of course,
01:16.5
who made a big rise during the election period
01:20.4
for his no-nonsense conversations on Philippine politics.
01:24.0
Bitcoin guy, motivational speaker.
01:26.9
If I'm not mistaken, reality show guy din
01:30.0
Anyway, I was hoping to talk to him
01:33.2
about a number of issues
01:34.1
including yung how is it to be a Chinoy,
01:37.8
how does he deal with anti-China sentiments,
01:40.1
and of course, the unfortunate xenophobia
01:42.3
and unfortunate racism
01:43.8
against even our fellow Chinoy brothers and sisters, etc.
01:48.0
And then, ito, uminit na talagang ulo ko
01:50.7
kasi ito, mga kameta,
01:52.6
since Tuesday, may pinopost tayo.
01:55.2
If you look at my Instagram,
01:56.7
if you look at my Twitter,
02:00.0
if you look at my Facebook,
02:01.4
marami tayong mga pinopost ukol sa West Philippine Sea
02:04.0
throughout the week,
02:05.4
obviously because of the latest developments
02:07.2
that has been taking place there.
02:09.8
Essentially, the double whammy bullying na nangyari.
02:13.9
One is water canoning once again,
02:16.2
but this time differently
02:17.0
because nandyan si General Bronner,
02:18.7
the AFP chief of staff,
02:19.8
was there aboard the Filipino vessel
02:21.9
and you had this in-your-face bullying by China.
02:25.5
But at the same time, of course,
02:26.6
yung atento Christmas convoy was also,
02:30.0
turned back or they were forced to turn back
02:31.9
after being intimidated by China.
02:33.2
So, obviously, tensions are really, really high
02:35.6
in the West Philippine Sea
02:37.4
over the Ayungin Shoal,
02:38.8
over the harassment and intimidation
02:41.8
of our civil society convoy,
02:43.8
Christmas convoy going there.
02:45.4
So, obviously, you can imagine
02:46.9
that I'm gonna post stuff, right?
02:48.3
And I have been coordinating very closely
02:50.4
with my, you know,
02:53.4
quote-unquote production team
02:54.7
to get things out,
02:55.8
to get the shorts out.
02:57.4
So, I made a number of shorts, no?
02:58.8
that are pertinent to the disputes
03:01.1
in the West Philippine Sea.
03:01.9
One of them is by,
03:03.7
is a kind of a snippet of my interview
03:05.8
with Senator Rafi Tulfo.
03:09.2
I interviewed him the other week
03:10.8
about the West Philippine Sea issue
03:12.1
and as you can see,
03:13.2
you can actually find it there on Twitter.
03:15.7
More than 100,000 views already siya on Twitter.
03:18.7
Not bad, considering Twitter is really pro-pink
03:21.1
and maraming ayaw kay, you know,
03:24.0
Rafi Tulfo or DDS and all of that.
03:26.5
So, we saw a lot of people actually
03:28.4
appreciating that,
03:29.8
that video snippet.
03:31.7
Yeah, it's not easy.
03:32.8
I had to, you know,
03:34.1
go through the whole production process
03:35.5
to make sure we get a decent short
03:37.9
when he talks about bullying
03:39.3
West Philippine Sea.
03:40.4
I also had another snippet
03:42.6
taken out of my vlog last week
03:44.8
when I was in Singapore
03:45.7
for the Stockholm China Forum.
03:48.4
It's about my analysis of, you know,
03:50.9
what Duterte got wrong
03:52.0
in his policy towards China
03:54.0
and how we should deal with China.
03:55.7
So, I have a couple of stuff
03:57.2
that I wanted to post.
03:58.4
Relevant to the West Philippine Sea issue
04:00.1
and, of course, very timely
04:01.5
considering what's happening
04:02.5
in the West Philippine Sea
04:03.9
over the past few days.
04:05.0
But, for some reason,
04:07.6
I have been uploading
04:09.2
five, six, seven times
04:11.3
two or three different videos
04:13.4
pertinent to the West Philippine Sea.
04:15.4
Then, I go back to the screen after hours,
04:17.6
still zero views, zero something.
04:19.8
And that sounds fishy now, of course.
04:22.2
That's why, dun sa mga haters,
04:23.8
check it out, right?
04:25.6
You know, we have a number of videos
04:27.3
there on my TikTok
04:28.0
that get half a million views, right?
04:30.9
You know, we had just another video
04:33.2
of all sorts of us that went viral.
04:35.1
This is about my Shakespearean analogy
04:38.0
for what's happening between UNITEAM.
04:40.2
I also posted the Game of Thrones
04:42.6
UNITEAM implosion.
04:44.5
That also got tens of thousands of views.
04:46.9
And then, suddenly, zero, zero, zero, zero.
04:50.3
So, very suspicious, right?
04:51.9
So, I go and post it again
04:53.4
and then go back.
04:54.3
Again, zero, zero.
04:55.6
So, what I did was, obviously,
04:58.0
hindi ako tanga, diba?
05:00.5
Given the situation that I faced,
05:02.8
given the nature of my job,
05:03.9
obviously, I don't use TikTok
05:04.9
on my normal phones.
05:06.4
So, I have a burner phone,
05:07.7
semi-burner phone.
05:09.2
Not that cheap, right?
05:10.3
So, I had to get a different phone
05:12.8
And I suggest you guys,
05:13.9
if you're having sensitive conversation,
05:15.5
make sure you turn off the phone
05:17.9
Very much away from the rest of your self
05:20.9
and sensitive communication.
05:23.4
So, I have a phone that I just put TikTok here.
05:25.7
It's just for my TikTok.
05:28.0
And then, of course,
05:29.4
I also do my spiritual apps
05:32.7
and all of what's here.
05:33.9
They can spy on my spirituality
05:36.2
I don't care, right?
05:40.1
You can check Bible and everything.
05:41.7
So, I have one separate phone
05:45.4
really for TikTok.
05:46.7
And then, I put my chat GPT here.
05:48.9
I put all of the other apps
05:49.9
that I'm not 100% sure about.
05:51.3
So, this is the non-clean phone, right?
05:54.0
Digitally speaking,
05:54.9
it's not the most hygienic ones.
05:59.6
given the nature of my work,
06:00.7
I don't put it on my normal phones.
06:04.5
after every few hours or so
06:05.6
because it's not my primary phone.
06:06.9
It's not even my secondary phone.
06:08.2
It's like my whatever phone, right?
06:10.0
it keeps on getting zero.
06:11.5
Keeps on getting zero.
06:13.0
maybe there's something wrong
06:14.0
with my account, right?
06:15.4
Maybe there's something wrong
06:18.8
there's something wrong
06:21.0
I upload it at home.
06:22.2
I upload it in mall.
06:23.3
I upload it through my other phone.
06:29.1
So, what I'm gonna do is
06:30.0
I'm gonna post something
06:30.9
that is not related
06:31.7
to the West Philippine Sea
06:34.6
If this is a censorship case,
06:35.9
probably it's automatic, right?
06:38.0
it's not anything I posted.
06:39.2
Probably things that are
06:40.2
related to West Philippine Sea.
06:43.8
yung Game of Thrones one.
06:46.8
it has already views.
06:48.6
okay, interesting.
06:50.0
Then, I posted again.
06:51.9
dalawang doble back-to-back.
06:53.9
Ang tagal na yan.
06:54.5
Ilang oras na yan.
06:56.1
wala naman views.
06:57.7
I'll post something else again
06:58.7
na not related sa West Philippine Sea.
07:00.2
So, I posted yung
07:01.0
snippet ng interview ko
07:02.5
with Senator Laila de Lima
07:09.5
the tribulations.
07:10.5
Ayan, may views na naman kagat.
07:11.9
So, this is weird.
07:13.6
This is suspicious,
07:14.9
to put it mildly.
07:16.4
So, all of the things
07:17.2
that hindi related sa West Philippine Sea,
07:20.2
this is an interesting one.
07:21.2
So, let me show you.
07:22.2
When I logged out,
07:24.7
so, naka-login ako dito.
07:25.6
Login ako dito sa phone na yan.
07:27.8
So, I tried to check TikTok
07:29.3
from another phone.
07:32.1
Let's say, clean one.
07:33.8
To see my account.
07:35.4
And then, I checked my account.
07:39.2
it shows as published.
07:40.7
But if you look at it from outside,
07:42.3
it's not published at all.
07:44.9
So, parang deceptive to.
07:47.7
it shows na wala.
07:48.5
Walang interesado.
07:49.5
Zero lang views mo.
07:52.5
Well, I mean, you know,
07:54.1
yung mga bobo dyan
07:55.0
na gusto magsabi,
07:55.7
okay, kasi baka siguro
07:56.4
walang interesado.
07:57.9
Anything I posted
07:58.6
at least gets a few thousand views.
08:01.0
Some got half a million views.
08:04.8
I'm not very active on TikTok
08:05.8
because it's on my, like,
08:07.9
I have so many other things
08:10.6
I gave it four or five shots.
08:13.0
to test the system,
08:14.1
if this is, like,
08:14.9
really an automatic censorship
08:17.2
or shadow banning,
08:18.4
I posted unrelated stuff,
08:20.1
immediately, it's okay.
08:21.7
Immediately, it's okay.
08:22.7
And then, as I said,
08:25.0
and then you check
08:25.7
the TikTok on your own,
08:26.8
so I'll show you here
08:28.8
it's not even published.
08:31.0
So, it's deceptively showing
08:32.4
it's published on my site,
08:34.5
it's not published at all.
08:37.3
So, this is my account.
08:38.2
You can check it for yourself.
08:40.5
this is an interesting situation,
08:43.1
whereby there's not even
08:44.4
a sophistication here.
08:48.4
something is going on
08:49.3
and it's pretty obvious.
08:51.7
they're dealing with
08:52.9
who's, by nature,
08:56.5
is very, you know,
08:57.7
always looks at protocols.
08:59.9
I have to have multiple phones.
09:03.3
yung mga nagsasabi dyan na,
09:04.5
oh, but this is a,
09:05.6
China-owned whatever.
09:06.6
Yeah, yeah, of course.
09:11.3
I would have expected
09:15.8
supposedly important
09:19.1
digital champion of China,
09:20.3
that to be a little bit
09:21.0
subtle about this,
09:22.0
but there's no subtlety
09:23.5
This is really weird.
09:26.0
hours, days after,
09:27.3
anything else I post,
09:28.3
my views na kagad.
09:29.9
And then you go outside,
09:31.0
and then you post,
09:31.8
it's not even published.
09:36.5
it makes it look as if
09:38.5
but no one is interested.
09:40.0
it's not even published,
09:41.3
that's why zero views.
09:42.9
it's so hard to get
09:43.9
zero views on Twitter,
09:47.2
Especially when you have
09:47.9
tens of thousands of likes
09:49.9
here and I just have
09:54.0
so much other things to do.
09:55.0
It's like dabbling in China
10:01.4
TikTok was always
10:05.5
I know what people
10:06.5
use TikTok for, right?
10:07.8
They use TikTok for
10:08.6
posting dance and whatever.
10:10.6
I'm a good dancer, okay?
10:12.4
some of you may have seen
10:13.1
some of my moves,
10:13.9
but that's not what
10:14.8
I'm interested here.
10:15.9
I realize that TikTok
10:17.0
is really the way
10:18.8
the younger audience
10:20.2
and also another way of,
10:21.9
getting the message out,
10:24.0
platforms not only
10:25.7
American tech companies.
10:28.1
I'm open-minded about it
10:29.2
and at the same time,
10:30.9
I know what's going on here,
10:34.2
I love them being caught,
10:35.4
doing jumbo mumbo jumbo.
10:37.0
That's why discussions
10:37.7
of banning of TikTok
10:41.0
this is a bit too brazen.
10:44.7
zero views and not.
10:45.9
And just to shut down
10:49.3
Like, look at my other posts.
10:51.1
we have posts that get
10:51.8
half a million views.
10:52.6
So, this is not about
10:53.3
no one being interested.
10:54.9
no one being able
10:56.7
because it's not being published
10:59.9
as if it were published
11:00.8
if you look at it
11:01.8
on your registered account.
11:03.7
From the outside,
11:04.9
there's nothing there.
11:08.8
You know why this is serious?
11:09.7
Because this is a matter
11:10.3
of national security.
11:15.6
TikTok is so big already
11:16.9
in the Philippines right now.
11:18.7
If a major platform,
11:22.1
ang lakas ang hatak
11:23.4
because, you know,
11:23.9
we know with TikTok,
11:24.7
they provide all of these.
11:26.2
They're kind of like,
11:30.8
they know how to get people in.
11:32.7
you go on TikTok,
11:33.4
there are all of these
11:35.3
It's so easy for anyone
11:36.5
to go viral on TikTok.
11:37.9
It's a very democratic,
11:40.4
but at the same time,
11:41.5
we know what's going on here.
11:44.2
I'm just trying to pull out
11:47.7
Para you can see.
11:56.0
of national security
11:57.4
we have one of the major
11:59.5
platforms in the country
12:00.6
either personally
12:03.1
targeting people like me
12:04.3
who are outspoken
12:07.6
I would rather be called
12:10.2
if you call me influencer
12:11.0
because, you know,
12:13.2
West Philippines,
12:15.1
we get, you know,
12:15.8
millions of engagement online
12:17.1
every, every month
12:18.0
on different platforms, right?
12:19.9
And this is a bread
12:20.9
and butter issue, right?
12:26.2
if people like yours truly
12:27.6
are just going to be censored
12:29.4
then you can imagine
12:30.7
what kind of voices
12:31.4
are going to be amplified there,
12:32.9
It's going to be voice
12:33.5
that actually echo
12:35.6
the propaganda line.
12:40.5
for, for, you know,
12:41.5
for, for Americans to,
12:43.1
for, for some Americans to say,
12:44.7
TikTok is abetting
12:47.2
on conflict X, Y, and Z
12:48.6
thousands of miles away.
12:51.1
what we're talking about,
12:52.2
what we're talking about here
12:54.1
I'm not saying this is the case,
12:55.8
okay, I'm saying,
12:57.0
a proper investigation.
12:58.7
The Philippine Senate,
13:00.4
are you guys doing?
13:01.8
Do something about this.
13:02.8
This is a national security issue.
13:04.5
If a major platform
13:08.2
of millions of Filipinos
13:09.5
throughout the day,
13:13.2
they're actually engaged
13:14.5
in targeting people
13:16.2
West Philippine Sea
13:17.5
experts and influencers,
13:18.7
those who are exposing
13:19.5
Chinese bullying,
13:20.6
those who are exposing
13:22.2
and if these people
13:27.4
and no one is interested
13:29.9
if you look at from outside,
13:32.9
I logged out of my TikTok,
13:35.1
I checked on a different phone
13:36.8
I didn't download it,
13:38.4
it's not even published.
13:40.9
it says it's published,
13:42.0
except no one is interested,
13:44.2
but on the other side,
13:44.8
it's not even published,
13:45.6
that's why it's zero,
13:47.5
to just shut down
13:49.2
you can check it,
13:49.9
or other posts there,
13:51.5
they get 100,000 views,
13:56.6
not to get any views
14:01.3
its algorithm is.
14:05.4
tries to be much more
14:06.7
prone to virality
14:07.8
than any other platform.
14:09.2
I know that because
14:09.8
I'm active on multiple platforms,
14:11.3
so I compare them.
14:12.8
I can see what ticks
14:14.0
the algorithm on YouTube
14:16.4
versus what ticks
14:17.2
the algorithm on Twitter
14:18.2
versus what ticks
14:19.1
the algorithm on Facebook,
14:23.6
to get zero views
14:24.6
throughout the window
14:26.9
posting and reposting,
14:28.3
something that not includes
14:29.4
only yours truly,
14:30.4
but someone as famous
14:31.4
as Senator Tulfo,
14:33.9
something as important
14:35.0
as West Philippine Sea,
14:36.8
that's pretty suspicious stuff.
14:38.9
That's pretty weird.
14:42.3
there's gonna be denial
14:43.4
and some people are gonna say,
14:46.1
And let me shut down
14:49.6
you're saying this
14:50.0
because it's China.
14:51.2
if you look at it,
14:55.7
This is on Nikkei Asia.
14:56.6
I messaged them directly
14:59.1
my account also got
15:01.6
My public page account
15:02.5
got shut down two years ago.
15:03.7
This is during the third time
15:04.8
and there were a lot of
15:06.7
conspiracy theories
15:07.6
about what was happening.
15:10.9
how Facebook silenced me,
15:14.6
this is not about,
15:16.7
this is not about
15:17.7
whether this is a
15:19.3
Western Chinese one.
15:21.5
or potential censorship
15:24.8
something's going on here,
15:26.4
And I'm not gonna name names
15:27.6
but some very big people
15:29.9
messaged me right away
15:30.7
and gave me the contact,
15:31.8
direct contact of people
15:33.3
and they were telling me
15:34.6
they also had problems
15:39.2
that they had also
15:41.4
wishy-washy experiences.
15:44.8
I'm just trying to bring out
15:46.3
where I criticized Facebook also.
15:48.8
Facebook apologized to me.
15:49.8
They said there was a bug,
15:52.2
you know what I'm saying?
15:55.3
I had two articles
15:56.0
actually about it.
15:57.0
When Facebook silenced me,
16:02.1
and then the other one,
16:03.3
Nikkei Asia also wrote that.
16:09.5
whenever I have a problem
16:10.6
I directly contact people
16:13.0
if something fishy
16:21.5
I don't post that much
16:23.0
and then I post once in a while
16:26.3
there's a battlefield out there,
16:29.0
There's a battlefield out there.
16:30.3
There's an information,
16:31.2
disinformation battlefield out there
16:32.6
and me being someone who's,
16:36.9
I try to engage that platform.
16:41.9
you know what I'm saying?
16:43.3
there's an expectation
16:44.5
if you post there,
16:46.0
dancing and whatever stuff
16:48.1
that's not what I do
16:52.5
Ilang beses ko pinost
16:53.7
over and over again.
16:59.2
it's not getting published.
17:01.3
I use different platforms,
17:05.6
in the coming days and all,
17:07.1
we're gonna see some response.
17:08.3
I already directed this case,
17:10.5
forwarded my case
17:14.7
in positions of power
17:15.8
and I'm gonna call on some senators
17:17.8
to look into this issue.
17:19.5
This is unacceptable.
17:23.4
TikTok Philippines,
17:24.7
I'm sure they're employing Filipinos.
17:26.5
I hope those Filipinos
17:27.6
are working there.
17:28.8
You're doing your job
17:29.5
for your country.
17:30.5
And you're not abetting
17:32.3
of a hostile country
17:34.5
which is bullying us
17:35.3
in the West Philippine Sea.
17:36.9
I really hope you're doing your job,
17:38.4
your patriotic job.
17:39.4
I hope you're also doing your job,
17:43.2
that you're not trampling
17:44.3
upon freedom of expression
17:45.4
in this kind of country.
17:46.9
the posts I have about
17:48.0
the West Philippine Sea
17:49.1
not the spicy ones
17:51.9
I have on Twitter.
17:55.4
ojon provocateur genre.
17:58.1
the posts I had there
17:58.9
were pretty mild.
18:00.0
They were just a general discussion
18:01.3
of the West Philippine Sea issue.
18:02.4
General discussion
18:03.0
of how we should deal with China.
18:05.0
it looks like they have,
18:07.9
I'm not saying that's the case.
18:09.2
proper investigation in this.
18:10.8
Maybe they just have that
18:11.7
some unsophisticated,
18:13.8
anything that has to do
18:14.9
with West Philippines
18:19.1
I don't know what's going on.
18:20.3
What I know is going on
18:21.4
is that anything I post about
18:22.5
West Philippine Sea this week,
18:26.1
it doesn't get published.
18:28.9
it just simply says
18:31.9
on anything else,
18:35.3
it gets published right away.
18:36.8
And there are views,
18:38.4
hundreds of views
18:41.9
something is weird here.
18:43.2
Something is not right here.
18:46.5
I'm not the only one
18:49.4
who is willing to share this.
18:50.6
If there are other people
18:51.4
who also have weird experiences,
18:53.5
make sure that you share it.
18:56.1
Make sure that you share it
18:57.1
and make sure that
18:57.8
people will get to know about it.
18:59.6
This is very important.
19:01.2
This is very important
19:04.3
TikTok is just going to get
19:05.1
more and more powerful.
19:06.4
It is just so palatable
19:08.9
and the new generation.
19:12.0
very, very friendly.
19:15.1
to get half a million views
19:18.2
good luck getting that
19:19.3
on, I don't know,
19:20.2
or good luck getting that
19:23.9
Or even on Facebook.
19:27.0
to go viral on TikTok.
19:28.5
And then there are
19:28.9
all of these reward systems
19:33.1
TikTok allows you
19:34.2
to go from zero to hero
19:35.3
within a very short span of time.
19:37.7
So I analyzed TikTok
19:39.5
and it looks like
19:41.3
it was really set up
19:42.8
the establishment
19:46.9
Because, you know,
19:49.9
100, 200,000 followers
19:53.6
Unless you're like
19:54.8
then it's easy to get millions.
19:56.0
But for non-celebrities
19:57.5
it's hard to reach
19:58.1
the 100,000, you know,
20:00.3
it's not that easy.
20:02.0
it's easy to go that way.
20:03.2
You just post regularly,
20:04.7
and it's easy to go viral.
20:06.9
the appeal of this platform.
20:09.1
It's a very appealing platform.
20:11.0
It's a very empowering platform.
20:13.4
marami sa ating kagabayan
20:16.2
Including last year elections.
20:18.0
TikTokers for Lenny,
20:21.3
the fight between opposition
20:22.8
and the forces of disinformation
20:25.6
Medyo may laban opposition
20:26.5
because of the inclusive nature
20:30.1
It's the least elitist algorithm,
20:32.1
among all the major platforms.
20:33.7
So I understand its power.
20:35.9
I understand its appeal.
20:37.9
But we should not allow
20:42.1
propaganda on behalf
20:43.7
of another country
20:45.0
that happens to be
20:46.2
where this platform
20:47.6
is essentially based.
20:50.1
based on legislations
20:52.9
is beyond the scrutiny
20:55.5
And we know under Xi Jinping,
20:56.8
the government has been
20:57.4
more and more directly
20:58.4
exercising scrutiny
21:01.8
or at least influence
21:03.5
over the operations
21:04.8
of all their major companies.
21:12.9
So this argument that,
21:14.1
oh, this is a private company,
21:16.1
Are you kidding me?
21:17.2
Are you joking me?
21:19.0
Do you have any idea
21:21.7
under Xi Jinping?
21:23.7
It's a single-party
21:27.5
They have total control
21:31.2
the grasp of the government.
21:34.5
Even billionaires.
21:35.7
How many billionaires
21:36.7
keep on disappearing
21:38.7
suddenly, you know,
21:39.5
showing up somewhere else?
21:42.1
a normal capitalist system.
21:45.0
capitalist system.
21:46.3
Biden cannot go there
21:48.7
or bully Elon Musk,
21:51.4
and Democrats and all.
21:52.4
That's not the case in China.
21:54.8
wants something to happen,
21:55.7
it's going to happen
21:56.2
if you're a Chinese company.
21:57.9
There's no way around it.
22:00.5
I completely understand
22:01.4
that's why I use a,
22:02.3
kind of burner phone
22:04.3
I'd rather turn off this phone,
22:06.5
sensitive conversations,
22:10.1
this is a bit brazen.
22:11.5
This is a bit crazy.
22:12.7
Now, anything I post
22:13.7
about West Philippines
22:15.5
it just doesn't get published
22:16.7
and it deceptively shows
22:19.0
but not appreciated
22:22.2
So, this is really,
22:23.5
really weird stuff
22:24.7
at the very least.
22:26.3
So, our senators,
22:29.0
ang galing nila mag,
22:30.5
especially senators natin,
22:31.7
ang ingay-ingay nila.
22:32.5
They have investigations
22:35.0
Well, maybe you need,
22:36.4
it's time for you
22:37.0
to have a proper investigation
22:38.2
about one of the most
22:40.3
powerful platforms
22:41.2
and soon probably
22:41.8
the most powerful platform
22:44.0
generation of influencers
22:45.0
in the Philippines.
22:46.4
It is a very attractive,
22:47.9
compelling platform.
22:49.1
I will give that to them.
22:50.1
from a technical standpoint,
22:51.7
I think it's a really amazing one.
22:55.6
this is not operating
22:57.3
within the normal
22:58.8
constitutional framework
23:00.0
of tech companies
23:01.2
that we know about, right?
23:04.2
oh, they're all spying on us anyway,
23:07.7
there are levels to this.
23:09.5
There are levels to this.
23:10.3
And as far as the Philippines
23:12.1
we have a national security
23:14.4
Silencing or censorship,
23:16.4
silencing or censorship
23:17.2
of anyone who speaks the truth
23:19.2
on behalf of the Philippines,
23:20.1
on behalf of the Philippine people,
23:21.5
who speaks the truth to power,
23:23.3
truth to bullying,
23:24.5
and truth to Philippines'
23:25.8
legitimate sovereign rights
23:26.7
in the West Philippine Sea,
23:27.8
if there's any evidence
23:28.7
that anyone like that
23:29.7
is being silenced
23:33.2
then something has to be done
23:35.9
Maybe not total ban,
23:37.2
but something has to be done
23:40.8
I love to be more active
23:43.1
I want to do more stuff
23:44.7
I'm trying to do more shorts
23:46.7
I see the appeal of this.
23:49.5
I'm still trying to learn
23:54.2
I'm very comfortable
23:55.7
I'm very comfortable
23:57.7
And increasingly,
23:58.2
I'm very comfortable
23:59.9
So I'm trying to learn
24:01.1
and then they do this.
24:02.2
So it's very disappointing
24:03.9
very disconcerting.
24:05.5
So whoever is in charge
24:06.8
of TikTok Philippines,
24:08.8
figure out what's going on here
24:10.4
and don't give me
24:11.0
nonsensical answers
24:12.1
because we're not fools.
24:14.1
I called out Facebook
24:16.0
until they had to fix it.
24:17.8
Philippine Airlines,
24:19.5
I called them out.
24:21.1
So I'm telling you,
24:22.6
you guys have to give me
24:24.3
why this wishy-washy stuff
24:25.9
is happening, right?
24:27.3
Why everything I post this week
24:28.7
about Westfield Misrelated
24:29.7
doesn't get published
24:31.0
but deceptively shows
24:35.0
But when I post anything else
24:36.5
that has nothing to do
24:37.4
immediately there are views
24:38.9
This is suspicious.
24:40.5
And don't give me this crap
24:41.4
about, oh, there's technical issue.
24:42.8
I did this within the
24:44.0
window of 72 hours.
24:46.8
from northern Luzon
24:50.1
all the way here to Manila.
24:51.1
So I uploaded this
24:51.9
in different locations
24:55.0
internet connections, etc.
24:57.1
is going on here.
24:58.4
But if you're gonna do
24:59.0
wishy-washy stuff,
25:00.3
this is not even subtle, right?
25:03.6
It's really crazy.
25:05.4
it's disappointing.
25:06.3
Pinag-irapan namin
25:07.2
yung shorts na yan.
25:10.4
gumawa ng shorts, alright?
25:11.6
Pinag-effort namin yan.
25:14.2
pag pinublish ko,
25:16.6
nakikita ng ibang tao.
25:17.9
Anong kalokohan yan?
25:20.7
it's about timeliness.
25:22.2
You wanna go viral,
25:23.0
you post something
25:25.5
So at the very least,
25:29.9
potentially viral posts, right?
25:31.8
But that's the least
25:34.7
we have to figure out
25:36.5
abetting disinformation
25:38.0
or abetting censorship
25:43.3
the West Philippine Sea
25:43.9
and wants to say something
25:44.7
about the West Philippine Sea.
25:48.7
there'll be a resolution
25:50.7
I'm just sharing my story
25:52.4
and I hope other people
25:53.5
who have similar weird stories,
25:55.4
go ahead and share it.
25:56.7
I know other people
25:57.4
are so invested in TikTok
25:58.5
that you may wanna say,
25:60.0
ah, let's just accept it.
26:02.8
national security works.
26:04.2
responsible regulation works.
26:06.3
Something has to be done
26:08.4
thank you very much.
26:08.9
I'll talk to you guys
26:11.0
some article about
26:14.5
I have to go back
26:16.6
But in a few hours,
26:17.5
I'll be joined by
26:20.4
influencer friend.
26:24.2
Maybe he has also
26:24.7
some stories to share.
26:26.3
thank you very much.
26:27.8
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
26:31.8
Yan, nabubulol na ako.
26:36.7
Thank you very much.
26:38.0
Talk to you soon.
