There are a whole number of other opposition leaders we can talk about, especially women opposition leaders.

I mean, before the shout-out naman dyan kay Senator, former Senator Leila de Lima,

thank you very much, Senator Leila de Lima, for also expressing solidarity

dun sa binuking natin na sinesensor talaga tayo ng TikTok.

I don't know if they have been shadow-banning me, but in this case, it's a total censorship na nangyari

because clearly, anything that I post related to the West Philippine Sea, this week at least,

I don't know about the other weeks because I am not very active on Twitter.

Sorry, TikTok. I'm very active on Twitter, obviously.

May binuking tayo the other day, mga kamets, diba?

Ito yung ano, yung anything that I post related to the West Philippine Sea, it doesn't get published.

On my side, deceptively, TikTok says that, you know, it's published but there's no view and all.

It's hard to get zero views when you have hundreds of thousands of likes and tens of thousands of followers on TikTok, right?

I'm not very active on TikTok, but from the limited activity,

but on TikTok, I know how it works.

So, pagtingin mo sa mga outside pala, hindi pala siya published.

So, gladly, a number of people have been looking at this.

Some international news channels have been looking at this and they have been seeking to get official comment

from TikTok Philippines, at least on this issue, and TikTok Philippines,

I know, are you guys betting propaganda effort by a hostile country that is trying to deprive us of exercise

and sovereign rights within our waters?

What are you guys doing?

Okay, again, this is just a question.

I'm yet to get any decent explanation from them.

Maybe they cannot provide any decent explanation, right?

Or palusot.

Let's see.

Let's see what TikTok Philippines is going to say about this issue.

Thankfully, I really don't need TikTok.

It's just like my number 5, 6 platform, whatever.

But it's important because, you know, we know that this is a very viral platform.

A lot of people are active on it, especially younger generations.

So, I'm engaging it.

But, you know, I don't depend on it to get the message out there.

We have, thankfully, hundreds of thousands of followers on YouTube, on Facebook, on Twitter, and different platforms.

So, marami sa langit.

Marami sa langit sa inyo lahat for giving me that platform because I don't need to rely on mainstream media.

I don't need to rely on organizations and institutions, on oligarchs or whatever to get my message out.

I can get my message out on myself.

And we are on multiple platforms.

So, marami sa langit sa inyo for your support, for giving me this voice.

And always, I want to make sure I use my voice in the best way possible for the interest of the country,

but also interest of humanity because I'm not here just for yung mga katribo ka lang or something like that.

I'm also here to speak in behalf of all of the people who are, you know, stepped upon.

All of the people who have the boots to their neck.

All of the people whose narratives, whose stories, whose tragedies and sufferings are overlooked.

Or a lot of people who are being collectively punished, literally, figuratively, and in many ways.

So, yun naman ginagawa natin sa voices natin.

And having said that, that's why I never hesitate to call out any company.

Whether it's Facebook, I called them out two years ago.

Philippine Airlines, may mahal ko kayo pero may sayos kayo.

Yung mga aircon sa likod, paki-on naman pag punong-puno yung airplane.

Huwag naman sana masyadong mainit na feeling burakay sa stratosphere.

And of course, ito naman TikTok.

No allusions. As I said, I use a burner phone for TikTok.

So, you know, that's why, you know, I barely use it because it's like on whatever phone.

And once in a while, I try to post there.

But since gumawa tayo ng marami shorts, pinagirapan natin,

sabi ko might as well put it on TikTok because this is really for, you know, short attention span kind of discussion.

Right?

And then doon nabukin ko na pag Westphalia misrelated issues, ito hindi nila pinapublish.

It doesn't get published.

It deceptively shows that uploaded in my set but it doesn't get published.

And it looks like a dumb algorithm because it looks like they don't know this is Richard Hedarens.

This is gonna openly expose them, right?

They're dealing with someone who is very carefully following efforts by China.

And China led companies and institutions to silence voices of reason,

silence voices of international law,

silence the voice of small business.

And that's what's happening in smaller countries like the Philippines.

Anyway, marami salamat kay Sen. Delima for expression of solidarity doon sa Pinos natin kaapon.

Salamat also kay Gretchen Ho, yung kasama natin dyan sa TV5.1 News,

my colleague there and who was also in the Christmas convoy going to the West Philippines.

Salamat ako sa kanya for, you know, for posting something and also, you know,

giving advice accordingly to deal with this TikTok situation.

So ayon kay Sen. Leila Delima, Richard Hedarens' observation

that the Chinese social media app TikTok has been censoring or blocking its posts on the West Philippine issue

is disconcerting to say the least, revolting as it is.

The China-made app may indeed be expected to carry out such a policy of blocking what it perceives to be anti-China influencers.

But this only shows how far TikTok is from free speech standards of Western social media where Chinese propaganda even proliferates.

Sa bagay naman, I mean, you can post, tignan mo naman yung mga katatay natin.

Ang daming mga pinopost na pro-China.

Nandyan sa Twitter, nandyan sa...

Actually, that's a very good observation, Senator.

That's a very good observation.

I mean, obviously, there have been accusations, including by people that I know,

against Instagram and Western, you know, social media for shadow-banning them or censoring them

because they're expressing views that are sympathetic to Palestine, for instance, right?

So, you know, I'm not romanticizing Western tech companies, right?

But the reality is that there's no comparison between them.

There's no comparison between China-led companies and Western-led companies, right?

There are levels of hypocrisy and double standard.

And then there's the level of, you know, companies living within a dictatorship

and essentially the single party or the manager of the single party having a final say on anything that any company based in China is doing.

So, you know, let's get things clear on that.

All right?

Now, a while ago, actually, I was talking to also a colleague of mine at the Asian Center University of the Philippines.

She's actually, you know, she's a visiting scholar from India.

In India, TikTok is banned.

Like a hundred Chinese app and, you know, whatever products are banned in India and they seem to be doing perfectly fine in India.

So, apparently, life can't go on without TikTok.

And in India, there are influencers making a ton of money.

There's a lot of creativity there.

If you look at Netflix series, the productions of India are beautiful.

So, we were talking about this TikTok issue and then what happened to me, you know?

And she was saying, yeah, you know, we in India, we have no problem.

Get rid of TikTok, you know?

All is good.

Now, obviously, I understand that there are friends who are using TikTok for their, you know, essentially living, for livelihood, etc.

So, I'm not for ban actually of TikTok per se but this has to be investigated.

And TikTok Philippines has to be held accountable if they are indeed found to be censoring West Philippines-related content, right?

Anyway, having said that, of course, thanks to former Senator Laila de Lima for raising this issue.

So, obviously, I've been looking also at what has been happening.

In the Senate, because inexpect ko naman, sana naman yung may ba sa Senate, medyo galaw-galaw naman, di ba?

At pag-usapan natin itong mga seryosong issue na ito because we may need a new legislation.

We may need at least investigations and scrutiny of disinformation, pro-China disinformation.

Not only from the DDS camp or Tatay's camp but from some interesting camps, right?

All of that has to be looked at in a very serious way because our freedoms and our democracy should not be undermined, right?

I mean, after all, again, there's no reciprocity.

Is Facebook and TikTok allowed? Is Twitter allowed for ordinary Chinese?

No. They're all censored, all right?

That's the kind of country we're dealing with here.

Now, I love Chinese culture and civilization.

I have many great friends of Chinese descent.

Whether they're Chinoy, whether they're from mainland China, whether they're from, I don't know, Taiwan, whatever.

I have nothing against the Chinese people. They're fantastic people.

I love their culture. I love their society.

But I have serious disagreements with some of the policies of the Communist Party of China, especially the West Philippine Sea.

That's a serious, serious concern and serious air of disagreement between us.

Now, having said that, as I said, I've also criticized the West for their double-stranded on a lot of issues.

You know, I hope they're also as concerned with collective punishment as in other parts of the world as they have been in the case of Ukraine, for instance.

You know, I can raise a lot of issues about the wrong things that the West has done, interventions in Middle East, you know.

All of those people victimized in the war in Iraq, the horrible way that the U.S. got out of Afghanistan.

So I can go on and on without that. So I don't need a lecture about that.

But katulad ang sinabi ni Kristan kahapon.

He said something very good.

Sabi niya, sometimes you just have to keep it simple.

Do not allow others to muddy the water by adding too much information.

In fact, that's part of the disinformation strategy.

You add many factual but unrelated but semi-unrelated information to overwhelm so that people cannot think clearly.

All right? So that people cannot think clearly.

That's a very good point. That's a very good point.

In fact, I had a term for that. I call it poisoning the well strategy. Right?

But in fact, sometimes you don't even need poison. Right?

To overwhelm.

You can actually throw a lot of facts, seemingly unrelated, incongruous facts just to muddy the water.

And a lot of whataboutism.

Oh, galit ka sa China. Bakit? Yung U.S. naman ganito.

So sometimes it's important to know what to look at and what to cast away

so that you're clear about your objectives and you're clear about your standards and you're clear about your convictions. Right?

And in this case, yes, maraming namang maling Amerika all around the world at sa ating kasaysayan.

Pero pagdating sa West Philippines eh hindi nating alawa ng U.S.

So hindi ko na alam kay Tatay Harry. Ay, Tatay Harry.

Harry, Harry, Harry Roque, ex-human rights lawyer, a.k.a. spokesman ni Digong. No?

Yung mga sinasabi niya na we don't want to be involved in intramural superpowers.

What kind of nonsense is that?

This is about Philippines' own sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea.

So please let's not parrot the pro-China line. Okay?

Now, China wants to treat us as an extension of America. Ibang usapan niyan.

They're conspiratorial minded. I cannot blame them. They're communist. Right?

But when it comes to the Philippines.

But when it comes to the Philippines, we are fighting for our own rights.

And in this case, in the case of TikTok and potential censorship,

potential, I'm still giving them benefit of the doubt.

It's just to see how nice I am. But, you know, we know how things run.

I'm just saying, you know, we also have to make sure na hindi binababoy yung ating demokrasya,

hindi binababoy yung ating freedom of expression to push for the agenda of hostile countries.

So, speaking of that, actually, mukhang si Sen. Javier Sito medyo nagwawala siya kahapon.

Ang inaaway niya yata, itong binalak ko na...

Anong pahalan niya yun? Mukhang Kim Jong-un na ano?

Yung troll, DDS troll na mukhang Kim Jong-un. Ano yun? Sino yan?

Mark Lopez ba yung pahalan nun?

Yung mukhang Kim Jong-un. Inamon pa nga ako ng Kim Jong-un na yan eh dati. Parang, wait lang kuya.

Medyo, you know, I do martial arts. I got a black belt in Taekwondo. I do boxing and all of that.

May tinatawa kaming weight classes. I'm not gonna fight with the super heavyweight.

I'm a middleweight to welterweight guy. I'm barely six foot tall. I'm just under six foot.

So, I cannot... Yun lang, sir. Yun lang, sir. Okay.

Anyway, may sinabi itong si Sen. Sito kahapon inaaway itong Kim Jong-un boy na yan.

Sabi niya, wala nang kakapal pa sa bukha ng kayang ibenta ng kaluluha.

Okay ito ah. Gusto ko itong palaban ah.

Okay itong boy Kim Jong-un. Alright, check natin ito ah.

Huwag kayong mag-alala. Pumunta na tayo kay Robin Hood.

Ito lang. We're just going through the rounds, okay? Itong mga senate na yan.

Ito, ito, ito, ito, ito. Nag-aaway si Senators. Ito, ito, ito. Sabi niya.

Wala nang kakapal pa sa bukha ng kanyang bent... Ito.

Wala pang kakapal pa sa bukha ng kayang ibenta ang kaluluha sa China

at isasakripisyo ang sariling bayan tulad ni Atmac Lopez 769.

69 talaga. Okay.

Kailanman, di ko ipagpapalit ang ating bansa.

Huwag maging makapili. Mahalin natin ang ating bayan. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.

Ayan, nag-response si Boy Kim Jong-un.

Sabi niya, ilabas mo, ibedensya mo. Hindi yung pura ka lang forma at tak-tak.

Ano, napaya ka na? Kapal moks na lang ang lab.

Ibang closet ng mga trolls na ito. Kaya binalak pa na lang mga ito eh.

Not worth engaging.

Aba, blue check ba siya?

Now, in fairness kay Sen. Ayres ito. I think he realized na he got a little bit...

Medyo... Sir, relax lang. Okay. Sabi niya,

Twips, I apologize if I blew my top in engaging a disrespectful vlogger.

Who's been attacking me. That's true, Sir.

Bastos talaga yan. Kaya binalak ko na lang yan.

At itong Kim Jong-un na yan, nag-aamon ng mga ibang tao na...

Welterweight.

Anyway, ang di ko talaga masikmuray ang pagkampi nila sa China at talikuran at pagtaksilan ang sariling bayan.

Di ako natatako sa epekto sa politika dahil ipinaglalaban ko ay tama. Okay.

Pasensya, guys. I'm okay. I'm just trying to read it. Okay.

Uy, tapos sabi ni Marglaus, grabe, ang paviktim.

Talagang... Bakit... Sir, huwag kayong magpatrol dito. I-block mo na lang yan.

Walang iya yan eh, yung mga troll na yan.

Block mo na yan, Sir. Not worth engaging.

Siyempre, tridor. Pag tinawag ka ng tridor ng isang senador na medyo matino-tino. O, diba?

But in general, ang point ko naman...

Biglang ang daming mga matapang na senador ngayon sa West Philippines yan, no?

I mean, I'm not talking about anyone specific. Pero ang tanong ko, kamusta kayo nung panahon ng digong?

Anong sinasabi nung panahon ng digong? Biglang ngayon, tapang-tapang iba.

But ito naman yung friends, si Senator Hirsi Ito, kaibigan natin na na-interview natin during elections.

He's quite sensible. At least among the estradas, you know, he's the one that, you know, the sensible guy.

Alright. Okay. The good one, kumbaga.

Now, balikan natin itong mga kamayang ito very quickly because I have to have another...

Mag-ibang podcast tayo shortly. O, mag-ibang podcast tayo shortly.

Kailangang message lang ako dito, eh.

No problem. Sorry, ha.

Okay. Sorry, ha. Ayan, nagmumultitask na naman tayo.

Ako na nga yung talent manager. Ako yung host. Ako yung producer.

Ako yung guest coordinator. Lalo. Ako yung host. Ako yung producer. Ako yung guest coordinator. Lalo.

Lahat na lang. Ako na lang. Lahat. Bati yung bayad ng electricity, lahat eh.

Eto naman tayo. Okay naman. Okay.

Now, ito na. Ito na, guys. Let's go to the meat of the discussion.

We went through Sen. Dalima. We went through Sen. J.V. Hirsi Ito.

Now naman, pag-usapan natin ang paborita ng bayan ay si Sen. Robin Hood Padilla in the house. Yan.

Si Sen. Robin Hood Padilla pushing strong against

itong advocacy by another senator. Well, in this case, quite a veteran senator.

Kind of knows what she's talking about. Pero ibang usapan na yan. Baka we get into trouble.

Eto, eto, eto. Napaskan lang ito, ha. Ayan tayo eh. Ayan tayo eh.

Ay, ay. Mali-mali. Nasaan na yung mga ano ko? Wait lang, guys.

Hindi. Okay. Let's first of all look at the context here. So, J.V.

Sen. J.V. is pushing for into kind of a focused investigation about Pastor Tibuloy.

Pag-usapan natin yan.

Eto, eto, eto, eto. Relax lang. Relax lang kayo diyan.

Sorry about that. Okay. So, Sen. J.V. has formally requested

The Department of Justice to issue an immigration lookout bulletin order against controversial megachurch leader Apollo Kibuloy

as the Senator intends to investigate sexual abuse and human trafficking allegations allegedly involving his religious group.

Sabi ni Senator Rizonti-Vero sa kanyang letter sa Department of Justice,

in the interest of justice and due process, it is my strong desire to ensure that he will be physically present in the Senate for the hearing.

So she's pushing for a hearing because the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Inequality

is set to probe the reported cases of, quote,

large-scale human trafficking, rape, sexual abuse, and violence, and child abuse by the, allegedly, by this personality.

This is close to former President Duterte.

According to the notice issued, the Hondiveros-led panel will conduct its public hearing on January 23.

O, pakikalendar yan.

January 23.

2024 at 10 a.m.

O, ayan na.

Yung mga SMNI ano natin dyan.

Baka, ano, mukhang nagre-regular na yung mga SMNI people dyan sa Senate ngayon, ha?

Mukhang favorite, bagong, sila yung bagong favorite, ha?

Okay, okay.

Mmm.

Okay.

Okay, akala ko may...

Hindi, kasi nilinis natin ito.

Baka ngayon kung anong pumasok.

The Senate, okay.

DOJ Spokesman Mico Clavano, on Wednesday, saad na yung ahensya,

will not be issuing the lookout order just yet unless there's an ongoing investigation.

However, nag-acknowledge siya ng Senate probe may be enough

as what happened during the Chamber's inquiry into the Farmali scandal.

O, you guys, naalala niyo yung Farmali?

The Senate investigation in Davao City-based pastor stemmed from Hondiveros' resolution on privileged speech earlier this week.

No?

O, ukol dito sa mga allegations laban sa...

Sa pastor na yan.

And as you know, of course, on February 5, 2022,

the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation released

the wanted posters for Kiboloy and two other members of his church

on allegations of sex trafficking.

In the Philippines, Kiboloy faces two complaints,

one for libel and one for rape, child abuse, and qualified trafficking in persons.

Sabi ni Clavano, said both were dismissed at the prosecution level

or pending review at the Department of Justice.

Ay naman kay Kiboloy's legal counselor, Ferdinando Paso,

ayan, kaya sabi,

bago nagkaroon ng Harry Roque,

diba, yung mga ganyang mabugada,

meron naman tayong Tupasho.

Sabi ni Ferdinand Tupasho,

chinalenged na yung Hondiveros to bring her allegations to court

instead of the upper chamber,

claiming yung senador na yan is not a credible person

when it comes to presenting testimonies.

Like, wait, wait, wait, what?

Who is questioning whose credibility?

Ebang talagang talaga.

Only in the Philippines.

Sino yung ayam Japanese?

Sino kaibigan natin diyan?

Ibang klase naman to.

This is interesting.

This is a very interesting situation.

Alright?

Okay, now.

Hindi lang naman si Tupasho ang nagdidefend

sa kaibigan ni Tatay Digong.

Meron din mga malalakas na senador dyan.

Especially, no less than

the senador that went number one

in last year's elections for the Senate.

Obviously, alam nyo naman.

Alam nyo naman, mga kameta.

Ang election naman talaga sa atin, mga kameta,

ay base sa merit.

So, kung number one ka sa Senate,

ito ay dahil siguro ikaw ang pinakamagaling.

Ikaw ang pinakamayalam

sa constitutional debates,

sa governance,

sa public administration.

Ikaw ang pinakamagaling.

Kaya number one, Robin Hood Padilla

in last year's Senate election.

So, of course, kung number one ka naman

at kaibigan mo naman si ano,

huwag ka na masurprise

kung may ganito silang pushback dyan.

Alright.

Padilla opposes call for Senate probe on abuses.

Sabi ni Senator Robin Hood Padilla,

yung bid ni Hondiveros to investigate

religious leader and self-proclaim.

You know, honestly, I don't want to say this.

You know, I'm a religious person.

So, I, sorry, you know,

I don't want to say anything blasphemous.

Okay, anyway.

Self-proclaim, alam niyo na.

Okay, guys, I'm sorry.

I'm a religious person.

Okay, I'm sorry about that.

I do my scripture.

I do my of that.

So, I'm sorry, okay?

There's only, well, even from the Catholic doctrine, right?

The Son of God, we know who's that.

Okay, anyway.

Over, eto, eto, eto.

So, si Robin Hood Padilla has pushed back against that

and sabi niya yung briefing, press briefing

that cases such as this offend,

and, ano?

Andres Bonifacio?

What?

Anong kinalaman niya Andres Bonifacio?

Eto, eto, eto, guys.

Kayo na magbasa na ito.

Medyo kakaiba ito, ha.

My Lord.

Okay, okay.

Eto, eto, ha.

Kayo na humusgang, ano,

yung mga logic ng itong napakagaling natin,

Senator.

By the way, open na invitation natin.

I just interviewed Senator Rafi Tulfo,

who was,

many,

many expected to top the Senate race,

and, you know,

I'm open to interview also Robin Hood Padilla.

Sir, kung okay ka lang,

pag-usapan natin,

expert ka eh.

Diba?

Pag-usapan natin mga bagay-bagay.

Hindi, mabait naman yan si Robin Hood eh.

Kailangan lang niya to meet people like me more.

Para naman, ano, ha.

Eto, eto, eto, eto.

Ano daw yan?

Offense daw yan kay Andres Bonifacio.

Anong kinalaman niya Andres Bonifacio?

Kasi araw ng Andres Bonifacio.

Ay, hindi ko talaga maingandahan ng mga ito.

Karapatan niyang isulong yan,

pero siyempre kami,

ako lalo,

nangangati ako pagkakaso ng puti.

Ano?

Puti?

Ano daw?

Ano daw?

Ano daw?

Pagkaso ng ano,

na-offense si Andres Bonifacio.

Ayoko talaga,

pero kung sa Pilipinas,

wala akong mga gawa,

eh Pilipino yan eh.

Pero kung,

ang pagbabasayan natin ng,

ay korte ng ibang basa,

ano?

Ano?

Ano daw?

I'm not sure that

Riza Ontiveros is making this move

solely based on the fact that,

I don't know,

FBI or something?

Well, that's quite a logical leap.

English natin,

i-translate natin na,

it's her right to promote that,

but of course,

especially me,

I each, when it comes to cases

prompted by white people,

parang racist yun ah.

Cases such as this

offend Andres Bonifacio,

that's quite a leap.

I really do not want it.

Bakit si Andres Bonifacio lang boss?

Bakit hindi si Rizal?

O, yung nandito.

Bakit hindi si Aguinaldo?

Bakit hindi si ano?

O, ang dami kong pwedeng pangalanan, no?

Tara, pag-usapan natin

ang kasaysayan ng Katipuneros.

O, sige, sir,

goal lang, goal lang tayo.

By the way, sir,

alam mo ba idol ni Andres Bonifacio

si Rizal?

Sino nag-inspire ka

Andres Bonifacio?

Eh, kasi siya yung nag-play

nung, ano,

nung, ano,

pelikula.

Ay, artista eh.

Cases such as this

I really do not want it

but in the Philippines

I can do anything

as a Filipino

but if our base is

the court of an article,

no way, like,

okay, alright, okay, whatever.

So, yun.

So, ang attack niya is

sovereignty.

Itong sovereignty natin.

Which raises

this very interesting question.

This is very interesting

and let me end on this point.

Right?

Because that perfectly sets the tone

for our next episode.

Let me,

ayusin natin yan

kasi pwede kong gawing short to eh.

Sorry.

O, ito to.

Okay, ito, ito.

Ito, ito.

Pawisan na ako.

Na-stress ako.

Okay, ito, ito, guys.

Ito.

Ayusin natin.

Medyo ayusin natin.

Pang-shorts yan.

Pa-edit ko pa yan.

Kaya,

one, two, three.

Sound check.

One, two, three.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Alright, ito, ito.

Ito.

This is one of the most

interesting things for me.

Pagdating,

ayan,

nasira yan.

Ulit natin.

Okay.

This is one of the most

interesting things to me.

No?

Pagdating sa issue

ng International Criminal Court

or any potential

judicial investigation

when it comes to people

close to a certain camp,

you know what that camp is,

biglang,

go, go, go sila

for national sovereignty.

Go, go, go sila

for Filipino independence.

Go, go, go sila

for protecting

of the Philippines

dignity and sovereignty

and integrity and all of that.

And then,

pag binuli tayo ng China,

in your face na binuli tayo,

not once, not twice,

but many times,

half a dozen times,

over the past six, seven months,

nung over the weekend pa lang,

double incident nangyari,

binuli yung convoy natin

ng Civil Society na Christmas Convoy,

binuli yung ating role,

yung resupply mission,

na nandun yung ating

military chief of staff,

yung armed force of defense

chief of staff,

lahat din yan nangyari,

wala silang sinabi.

O, nasan na yung issue

ng sovereignty?

Ha?

Nasaan, nasan siya,

sa tingin nyo ba

si Andres Bonifacio

maging tahimik

kung ginaganyan lang tayo

ng ibang bansa?

I don't care if it's China,

Russia, whatever.

You think Andres Bonifacio

would have been quiet

kung ginawa sa atin yan?

Alright?

That's my problem.

That's my problem.

Alright?

You wanna talk about

independence and national sovereignty

when what on earth

have you been saying

about the West Philippine Sea?

What on earth have you been saying

about the bullying

of the Philippines

aside from

gaslighting the Philippines

and blaming the Philippines

for standing

for its own rights?

Alright?

This is not just

logically problematic

to put it nicely.

I'm just controlling myself.

I can be more mean about this.

But this is something

something far worse than that.

Something far worse than just

preposterous logic

or double standard.

Okay?

I'll just be clear on that.

On that note,

thank you very much everyone.

I hope na-appreciate nyo

ang ating Andres Bonifacio.

Kala nila sila lang

may Andres Bonifacio.

Excuse me, sir.

Kami kasi nag-blog.

Nababasa talaga kami

ng mga, you know,

yun ang mga totoong,

ano, mga totoong libro.

May totoong scholarship kami.

Binabasa namin yan.

Alam namin yung katotohanan.

Alam namin yung konteksto.

Alright?

Hindi na lang kami

nagpo-posturing dito.

Nagpapogi dito.

Alright?

Oo.

Diba?

Okay.

Anyway.

Whew.

Time-in-clang tayo.

Sorry guys, ha.

Kasi papunta na tayo

sa next episode natin.

Discuss natin ng

West Philippine Sea, no?

Or medyo dito

minitang ulo ko

when I hear, you know,

I just have

you know, teacher ako eh.

So I try to be

very patient.

Pero kung tingin ko

yung estudyante

hindi nagbabasa

tapos ang daming sinasabi

the obvious hindi niya

binasa yung reading

ang daming sinabi

sometimes like

hmm, diba?

Respeto naman doon

sa mga iba yung estudyante

nagbabasa at maayos

ang ginagawa.

Yun lang naman sa akin.

I'm an educator

so that's how I approach it.

Alright?

Thank you very much guys.

God bless

and talk to you soon.

Whew.

Thank you very much guys.

Sorry.

Medyo minit ang ulo natin

pero huwag kayong magalala.
