00:18.2
I mean, itong mga hidwa na nangyari
00:20.6
Medyo mukhang, you know, there are people
00:22.6
In China who are saying, you know, it's time for us to show
00:24.6
Our swords to remind the Filipinos
00:26.3
Who's the superpower here
00:27.6
May gano'n, may gano'n ang dating at medyo nakakatakot
00:30.3
And at the same time, President Marco Jr. has made it clear
00:32.7
This is not his preference
00:35.1
This is his constitutional duty
00:36.9
He has to protect every inch
00:38.7
Of our sovereign rights or sovereign
00:40.5
Territory for that matter, right
00:42.0
Are you worried about
00:44.0
Potential conflict here, I think
00:46.0
Or you're seeing this as part of just the
00:48.1
Long telenovela drama
00:50.1
Yeah, I'm not worried at all
00:52.4
Kasi honestly, China I think
00:54.5
Has seen with Russia
00:57.2
Of what can happen
00:58.7
If they try to use military might
01:01.1
And they know that the Philippines
01:03.3
Has a defense treaty with the United States
01:05.6
So dahil doon, takot talaga sila
01:07.4
They do not want to get into a war
01:09.4
With the United States
01:10.4
Now, what they're doing is just
01:13.2
These are kind of like covert tactics
01:15.9
To push their weight
01:17.7
Without crossing that red line
01:21.3
Kaya nga water cannons, gano'n lang yan
01:23.4
Binabangga ka lang
01:24.4
Kasi kung talagang gera gusto nila
01:27.2
Should've just shot one of our ships down
01:29.1
Or just sank one of them
01:30.3
Pero they're just kind of like
01:31.6
Bumping it and everything
01:32.6
So harassment yung ginagawa nila
01:34.5
China is very careful
01:36.5
Kasi even when you look at it
01:38.5
With the Taiwan issue
01:39.6
Kasi we're connected with that eh
01:41.0
Kasi the EDCA actually allows the bases
01:43.2
To go on top where close to Taiwan
01:45.1
Very near Taiwan eh
01:48.1
That's why galit sila sa US
01:50.1
At saka sa Pilipinas
01:51.0
Because of that as well
01:52.2
Ngayon, will China ever attack?
01:55.3
No, I don't think so
01:57.2
They know the repercussions of attacking
01:59.1
And plus their economy
02:00.3
Is actually not doing that great right now as well
02:02.7
So there are a lot of factors
02:04.2
That play into this
02:05.1
On that decision of whether
02:06.1
They're gonna attack or not
02:07.1
And remember, if they attack
02:09.0
Hindi lang US and Pilipinas
02:11.9
You've got Taiwan, Japan, South Korea
02:13.9
Australia, lahat yan
02:16.1
And many more are going to go against them
02:18.8
They're not gonna be able to withstand that
02:21.4
Marami silang mga people
02:22.6
Who have an axe to grind with China
02:24.4
Kasi if you're Taiwan
02:27.2
You could be next right
02:29.0
You're worried about Taiwan and Philippines
02:30.6
Then you could be next right
02:31.8
So you'll have this kind of change
02:32.9
Ito yung mga law of unintended consequence
02:35.5
You know when idiots like Putin
02:37.8
They thought they're walking into some village
02:39.3
And they'll take over
02:40.1
The next thing you know
02:41.6
The Ukrainians fought back
02:43.0
The next thing you know
02:43.8
The most developed advanced countries on earth
02:46.2
From Korea and Japan
02:47.1
All the way to Europe
02:48.9
Gang up on Russia essentially
02:51.1
Via the brave Ukrainians
02:53.1
So I think you're right
02:54.6
I think the counter argument always to that would be
02:57.2
Hindi kaya maging
02:58.5
Desperating leadership sa China
03:00.1
Because the one thing that gave them legitimacy
03:01.8
Was not elections
03:02.7
Was not their lovability
03:04.1
Was about economic performance
03:06.0
5% is the best they can really offer
03:08.3
Assuming their numbers are legit
03:09.7
So some people are saying
03:10.8
Baka yun yung maging reason
03:12.4
Na maghanap sila ng distraction
03:13.6
Because sometimes when a beast is wounded or cornered
03:16.9
They're even more dangerous
03:18.5
Again for me I think
03:19.7
Both sides of the argument
03:20.8
We can have a debate about it
03:22.7
What about the Chinoy community?
03:25.3
I mean do you think there's also worry
03:26.5
About the Chinoy community?
03:27.2
I mean that this could have a spillover effect also
03:29.2
When you say a spillover effect
03:32.1
Are you referring to what?
03:33.5
Like there could be a negative repercussions
03:35.1
Yeah I mean like ridiculous things about like
03:37.4
Oh Chinoy is where do you stand on things?
03:39.7
I mean we had the Chinoy billionaire in the Philippines
03:42.6
Openly questioning the president
03:44.6
And you could see the responses
03:45.8
Were not substantive
03:47.1
The responses were
03:48.8
Hindi naman talaga ganyan
03:49.8
You know what I'm saying?
03:50.4
All of that stuff right?
03:51.7
And the reason I'm asking you is because
03:52.8
You're a perfect embodiment of you know
03:54.6
Being Pinoy is not about any ethnicity
03:57.7
It's about your loyalty
03:59.7
Your identity right?
04:01.6
I'm sure that some of our Chinoy friends
04:03.2
Some of my Chinoy friends
04:05.2
They have been following these things
04:07.2
They have worries that
04:08.4
It could boomerang on them
04:10.1
Unfairly obviously
04:11.6
That's where I come from
04:16.4
The irony is this
04:17.5
I get people that
04:19.2
Yung mga Duterdards
04:20.8
That will say to me
04:22.6
Shut up ka na lang
04:23.3
Chinese ka naman eh
04:27.2
You're criticizing me
04:28.6
Because I'm Chinese
04:29.6
Get out of the country
04:31.6
The guy you follow
04:36.5
The lapdog of China
04:38.4
I don't understand you
04:40.6
Kung yung nagsinusunan mo
04:42.8
Bowing down to me
04:44.2
So this is a disconnect
04:47.1
It's just cognitive dissonance
04:50.4
Ang style yata nila
05:00.9
I don't even bother
05:01.8
It's just hilarious
05:03.3
I'm not really worried about
05:06.1
The general narrative
05:14.4
With what will happen
05:16.1
I don't think so eh
05:17.3
Each one has their own opinion
05:23.1
Where their business lies
05:24.8
So they have to speak
05:25.8
A certain narrative
05:28.5
Some of these billionaires
05:30.2
Businesses in China
05:31.8
And maybe that's why
05:33.4
They're a little bit more careful
05:34.5
With what they say
05:35.7
It depends on what
05:37.2
Your motivation is
05:38.1
And what your intention is
05:39.0
I don't think it's a cohesive
05:44.7
The Chinese aggression eh
05:47.5
The point I wanted to hear
05:49.3
Just like the rest of
05:51.5
There's always diversity
05:53.1
On this kind of issue
05:54.0
Also across generation
05:57.4
And also depending on
05:58.2
Your orientation and all
06:02.7
Kiboloy and Duterte
06:04.5
How do you feel about
06:07.2
Because he seems to be
06:08.8
Hitting all the right notes
06:09.9
On South China Sea
06:11.5
You can see his speech
06:15.4
They were super impressed
06:16.7
I'm heading back to Japan
06:19.7
They're all gaga over him
06:24.2
But at the same time
06:26.7
He's not doing too bad
06:27.6
On West Philippine Sea
06:28.6
I'm not talking about
06:31.4
I'm just talking about
06:31.9
The West Philippine Sea
06:33.2
He's not doing bad at all
06:39.0
The way I see him
06:46.7
Knows how to make
06:47.5
Somebody feel good
06:48.9
He loves to socialize
06:51.7
Was about socializing
06:52.9
That's why he loves traveling
06:54.2
What I'm worried about
06:56.6
He's traveling so much
06:58.0
That there's really
06:59.7
An absentee president
07:04.2
Germany or something
07:07.7
He's leaving again
07:09.3
He just arrived from Australia
07:10.6
He's leaving again
07:11.6
Two trips to Australia
07:21.2
Is not as significant
07:25.5
They get out of the way
07:27.3
The government body
07:30.4
There are a lot of people
07:31.1
That are actually
07:32.4
That runs the government
07:33.5
And they're apolitical
07:35.0
They're just doing their job
07:38.2
When you get a president
07:41.2
Basically throw the kitchen sink
07:43.3
Can I swear here?
07:49.3
They want to just
07:49.9
They just want to basically
07:52.9
Ruin the whole system
07:54.5
For their own political gain
07:56.5
As long as they stay out of the way
07:57.8
The machinery will work
07:59.5
Marcos has shown that
08:02.5
You're the department head
08:04.1
Or the people under you
08:05.1
They all know what they're doing
08:11.1
The government works
08:15.4
Get out of the way
08:19.2
Nung panahon ni Digong
08:20.3
Speaking of absentee
08:23.9
Is still the gold standard
08:26.5
Is like the big coin
08:30.2
The guy was going home
08:31.5
To Davao every other weekend
08:33.0
Or something like that
08:33.8
If he's not abroad
08:34.8
Hindi lang sa COVID
08:35.9
Naka 40 foreign travels yan
08:37.8
In his first two years or so
08:39.7
Even when he was in the ASEAN meets
08:41.9
He didn't even attend
08:42.9
Most of the conferences
08:45.3
He did not want to face
08:48.4
He was going to be
08:50.3
Some of these people
08:52.4
Ayaw talaga sa kanya
08:53.2
Ng mga ibang ASEAN
08:54.9
Because Digong was pro-China
08:56.1
Gusto siya ng ibang ASEAN
08:59.3
Yun ang tingin ng ibang ASEAN leader
09:00.6
And this came from
09:01.4
From our friends in other countries
09:02.9
I'm not going to mention what
09:05.9
That's not from us
09:07.2
It comes from one of the key
09:09.3
What's up with your president?
09:11.6
He doesn't want to be with
09:13.3
Pero you don't have to go
09:14.3
Like that towards China
09:15.4
So in fairness naman
09:19.8
He's not sleeping
09:21.6
Sleeping during the talk
09:23.6
He's giving good talks
09:27.1
Magaling yung advisor niya
09:28.2
Well at least pumili siya
09:28.9
Ng magaling na advisor
09:31.8
Mga Michael Young
09:35.9
I think he deserves
09:36.8
A little bit credit for that
09:37.9
But I think this is
09:39.0
A perfect transition
09:39.6
In the next episode
09:40.3
Because since last time we talked
09:42.9
Big things happen
09:44.6
At least on two occasions
09:45.9
In Davao and Cebu
09:49.0
Openly attacking Marcos
09:51.1
That's where I disagree
09:54.6
But now specifically
09:56.0
That you're right
09:58.0
The president just gets
09:59.6
But the problem here
10:01.2
Wants to get that seat
10:04.1
We didn't vote for this person
10:06.3
Anymore thankfully
10:08.8
You want the president
10:10.0
To be a little bit more
10:12.1
The Duterte's will come back
10:13.6
So let's discuss that
10:14.5
In the next episode
10:15.1
Because I think this is
10:15.8
Something very important
10:17.5
Aside from Bitcoin
10:18.5
Since last time we talked bro
10:21.7
Thank you very much
