naval assets, warships

what not, alright

so there are all sorts of different

interesting developments happening in this

part of the world and obviously the timing

of the conversations we're having right now

in the US is also very very

important because

after all, in few days

time, so next week na ito

ayan, si Junior

Marcos Junior, minamahal yung Marcos Junior

papunta na dito sa

Amerika para makapagpulong

kay President

President Joseph Biden

at kasama rin dyan, and of course

that's what makes this very very interesting mga hameta

is kasama rin dyan si

Fumio Kishida, alright

yung Prime Minister

ng Japan, so it will be an

unprecedented, first time ever

trilateral summit between

Philippines, Japan, and US

which I've termed as JAFUS

so that it also rhymes with

AUKUS, because as you know

the United States has finalized

or

has had finalized

earlier, isa pang

trilateral security arrangement

with Australia and the United Kingdom

yung tinatawag na AUKUS, with a particular

focus on the development of

nuclear-powered submarines

not nuclear missile-carrying

submarines, but nuclear-powered submarines

and then of course

last year also you had this

important trilateral summit kung saan

nagpulong ang leaders

ng South Korea, Japan, and United States

another important trilateral grouping

as you know, mga Koreans and Japanese

may dynamics mga yan, at as you know

I think yung mga

mga sobrang bentang mga movies sa Korea

usually ito yung mga movies kung saan

tinatalo nilang Japan, right

and yung isang movie na

palabas ngayon sa Korea na bago

yung kanilang naval battle

battle against Japan

when they defeated the invading

samurais from Japan

during the, I mean this is

probably the pre-chosen or one of the

major kingdoms in South Korea

so as you know, ang laki ng dynamics

between

South Korea, yung dynamics ng Japan

and South Korea is very complicated

malalim ang hugot ng mga Koreans

laban sa mga Japon

especially dun sa mga ginawa ng Japon

sa kanila nung kinolonize

sila from the 1890s

all the way to the end of Second World War

so hanggang ngayon, extremely

extremely

competitive

yung dalawang bansa na yan, and if you are in

South Korea, believe me, the last thing you want to do

is praise something from Japan

although the Japanese are more charitable about this

they just laugh it off yung competitiveness

ng mga South Koreans, but South Koreans

are extremely, extremely competitive

with the Japanese

mention anything, I don't know, Cherry Blossom

the Koreans will say, oh our version is better

well, pagdating naman sa

pop music and culture

mukhang medyo panalo ng Korea ngayon

at sa pop music

so yung K-pop definitely is doing way better

ng J-pop nowadays

pero bati sa anime, humaabal na rin mga Koreans

but of course, yung K-pop is doing way better

mga batang 90s and 2000s

Team Japan kami

when it comes to that

so there is a very, very

deep-seated

kind of grievance

in Korea, similar to China

laban sa Japon

and time and again, yung issues

ng reparations, issues

ng comfort women, issues ng mga abuso

ng ginawa ng Japon noong Second World War

and before it comes up in

bilateral relationship, there were times

that South Korea suspended

intelligence sharing with Japan

there were times that a Japanese journalist

I think was arrested

in South Korea because of

again, yung mga disagreements

and issues of historical revisionism

of Japan. Again, I hope personally, I'm quite critical

of the fact na sa tingin ko talaga

may pakapulang talaga ng Japan

pagdating sa recognition

of its mistakes

and all. It's not about one speech that

I don't know, one or two

prime ministers in Japan gave. It's about

institutionalism

and internalizing redemption, right?

And this is what we see in

Germany. So, in Germany, just

malapit lang sa hotel namin, no?

Naandun yung Holocaust Memorial, no?

So, constantly in Germany, you see

you see reminders

you see institutionalized

repentance, no?

by the Germans

when it comes to yung mga

sobrang mga malalaking

krimen na ginawa nila noong

Second World War. Now,

that is not to say that others

should get off the hook, but obviously

yung ginawa nila sa Holocaust was

totally next level of

genocidal inhumanity.

Obviously, other countries

also committed a lot of crimes. The Ottomans

for instance, had their own genocide

against the Armenian people,

something that today's Turkish regime

does not recognize.

In fact, if you push for that argument in Turkey,

you're going to be in deep, deep trouble

and some of their greatest thinkers,

Orhan Pamuk, among others,

their Nobel Prize literary genius

is living outside Istanbul,

his beloved city

because, you know,

because of, you know, the kind of issues that he raised

about the Armenian genocide.

Obviously, mga ibang bansa, mga

Briten, mga Pranses, mga

Amerikano, lahat sila may ginawang

sobrang daming mali. In fairness,

in fact, one of the interesting things that came out during one of our

discussions due to South Carolina and some of the folks

here was yung

yung daming,

yung casualties,

ng Philippine-American War.

Because alam niya naman,

yung revolusyon natin laban sa Espanya.

Pero hindi natin masyadong pinag-usapan

yung revolusyon natin laban sa mga Amerikano.

It is not true na nung dumating

mga Amerikano, biglang, hello, happy na tayo

and take over the country. Hindi naman tayo gano'n.

Lumaban ang mga Pilipino, lumaban ang mga ating

mga ilustrado,

lumaban yung ating mga

katipuneros and revolutionaries,

including General Aguinaldo.

They kept on fighting for a few years

and,

by some account, hundreds of thousands of

Filipinas died, directly and

indirectly as a result of the war.

But so, dito sa Amerika,

I don't see as much recognition of their

dark past in the Philippines, including

the colonization of the

Philippines. In fact, yung term na colony,

colonization, is not something I hear

much in conversations, in official conversations.

And I think,

pagdating sa Amerika, hindi silang masyadong

nag-they're not educating

their folks enough

about also their own

colonial past in the Philippines, among others.

But, this is all about,

but this is America.

I mean, ano naman,

wala naman silang ginagawa mali, diba?

Lahat naman naman ginagawa nila, tama, diba?

Gano'n naman eh. Parang China din yan, diba?

Yun din sa China, wala naman maling China.

Tapos yun sa China pa, sila pa ang diktima, diba?

So, China, pag nagselta, parang

hindi nilang bansa, parang hinan nilang bansa,

parang kawawan nilang bansa, parang atin nilang pinag-usapan.

Hundred years of humiliation

and opium wars and all that.

But diba sa inyo, hundred years lang kami,

four hundred, five hundred years of humiliation.

Yung mga mga kapitay natin,

also, sobrang kinawawa ko sila ng mga Dutch,

ng mga British,

not to mention yung mga colonies of Germany

and Africa. So, there were many

horrible things that happened throughout the centuries

in different countries around the world.

Pero pag dating sa China,

pag magsalita sila, parang sila lang

ang kinawawa ng ibang bansa.

So, obviously, it tells you that there's definitely

this sense of,

there's this sense of entitlement,

there's sense of hubris,

the sense of,

inherent superiority

that unfortunately

blinds

China's strategists

and diplomats to

also the grievances and

feelings and sentiments of smaller countries

in the region.

Ito yung tinatawag na superpower

narcissism.

Yung mga narcissism. Nakikita rin natin

sa Russia yan. Pag si Putin nagsalita,

parang sila pa yung kawawa.

Never mind the fact na

in-invade nila yung Georgia, in-invade nila yung Ukraine.

Kahit binubully nila yung mga maliit na bansa

around the region.

They bully their way through Central Asia.

Well, I know this because I'm familiar with those parts

of the world, right?

So, this is what we're facing right now.

But anyway,

balingan natin yan. Of course, napag-usapan natin

with si

Ronaldo Llamas, Richard Alden

sa itong issue natin to a certain degree

the other day.

But let me tell you guys,

pagdating dito sa

pagdating dito sa

issue ng

trilateral summit

between Philippines, Japan, and the US.

Ang basa ko talaga dito

is

tatlo.

Unang-una, I think

and this is where sabi ko,

dapat ingat talagang Pilipinas.

And alam ko, dahil si BBM medyo

pababa, spaghetti pababa yung approval

ratings niya. I'm sure na mayroon siyang

you know, there's this

how should I put it?

There's this incentive for

him to go all-in

sa West Philippines issue

and by extension to go all-in dito

sa ating aliansa with America.

Not to mention, itong emerging

also military cooperation natin

with Japan at a whole different level.

Alright?

I have some problems with that.

Ang fear ko dito is

baka

we will eventually over-limit

our room for maneuver.

because I'm sure ang hihingi ng mga Japon at hihingi ng mga Amerikano

is maximal flexible access doon sa mga pinaka-priced military assets and facilities natin, right?

Now, in theory, that shouldn't be a problem when you deal with your allies and friends

but clearly, pagdating sa Pilipinas,

I would say we're the most vulnerable to China's retribution and reprisals.

Japan can hold its own, the United States is way out of the region.

I mean, they have outer territories, Guam, Hawaii, but mainland America is across the Pacific Ocean.

Philippines is very vulnerable, it's very much on the front line.

And ang basa ko dito, a lot of the bullying that China is doing,

including, again, this latest bullying na ginawa nila sa Philippine Coast Guard just a few hours ago,

a lot of that is because natatakot sila na bibigyan natin ang access sa mga Amerikano.

At potentially, ibang mga Japon and others doon sa mga key bases natin sa north of the Philippines, right?

Kaya nga, I think it was important that yung Governor Batanes recently came out and clarified

that hindi na matutuloy yung U.S. port facility construction plan sa Batanes

because I always felt that would be a tad provocative perhaps.

I mean, I'm not, again, I'm all for us developing whatever we can,

pero you have to do this steady and surely and in a calibrated manner, no?

So, I really hope na itong discussion ngayon, upcoming discussion ngayon sa Washington, D.C.

between Kishida, Marcos, and Biden, dapat Marcos make sure na he doesn't get overly involved in all sorts of different issues.

And if ever, he is going to give a lot of access to the Americans and also to Japan

because Japan is also negotiating its Visiting Forces Agreement style deal with the Philippines

and RAA reciprocal access agreement.

Reciprocal, but we know naman ang Japan naman talaga mas magpadala sa atin kaysa the other way around

while we're still developing our capacities.

Ang point ko lang, I hope the Philippines make sure that we are playing this very smartly

along with very effective diplomacy behind the scenes.

And importantly, I hope hindi lang boots and bases.

Ang mga kuha natin dito, sobrang importante dito ng Pilipinas,

gets really decent, good defense support from these countries.

Last time I checked, wala pa tayong nakuha kahit isang advanced modern fighter jet from the United States, right?

And I'm not also sure if you have got a single advanced as in 21st century,

not Vietnam era, not 1990s, not your favorite frigate or warship.

The difference...

The best weapons we have, the most modern weapons we have, they're all from South Korea.

The missile systems that we're going to have is from India.

So none of it is from the United States.

And then pagdating naman sa Japan, Japan naman has been very, very helpful to us.

Japan, Japan.

But we want to make sure na as Japan relaxes restrictions on export of advanced weapon systems,

dapat ang Pilipinas should be a primary, not only customer,

because we're hoping to get a lot of these advanced weapon systems on the best possible deal, right?

So that's one of the issues that is going to come up there.

But the second issue I think is also to make sure na hindi lang puro mga armas lang pag-usapan,

dapat pag-usapan din ang economic cooperation.

I think that is extremely, extremely important,

particularly pagdating sa semiconductor development, manufacturing investments.

So those are very important things that Marcos has to talk about.

He has to bring investments.

He has to bring in job.

He has to...

No, I'm not talking about donations.

I'm talking about at least, you know, discounted deals or whatever.

Semiconductors, those are the things that the Philippines has to focus on during these conversations.

Japan is in the midst of a renaissance in the semiconductor industry, investing $67 billion in it.

So Japan could also probably tie in the Philippines into semiconductor development.

And the United States has to be more proactive in pushing for a bilateral free trade agreement

with the Philippines or something that really makes sure that Philippine exports to the U.S.

are far more competitive than they are.

Because Vietnam is exporting like, what, 7, 8, 9, 10 times than the Philippines to the United States.

That's a crazy situation, right?

And lastly, I think this is also about making sure na ma-insulate itong aliansa ng tatong bansa na yan

should Duterte come back or more urgently for that matter.

A Trump win comes over the horizon, right?

Kasi if Trump wins or Duterte comes back, there are many ways that Duterte can come back,

biglang baka everything will be up in the air.

So I think the challenge also right now is to super tighten military intelligence,

cybersecurity cooperation, strategic cooperation, that whoever wins in U.S. elections in November,

whoever becomes the next Filipino president, or if ever BBM has to step down or whatever, replace,

the fundamentals of those alliance will hold together.

So I think that's why it's also kind of a race against time.

Although, of course, I'm still not sure Trump will win this November.

I think Biden is still doing pretty decently in some of the battleground states based on some of the surveys.

So the surveys are actually very inconclusive.

There are 12 surveys out there.

Six of them say this.

Six of them said that.

And I think a lot of the Democrats are also now angry at Biden because of his policies on Gaza,

among others.

But who knows?

Maybe come November, they're going to have a very different stance on these issues.

All right, guys.

Medyo humabal tayo sa next natin ng mga gagawin.

Thank you so much.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng mga sumuporta sa atin.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng mga nag-comments, suggestions, stickers, stars, whatever.

All of these things really, really gives us a sense of encouragement, inspiration.

And I'll tell you what, kagabi, kahit sobrang pagod na ako,

some videos and all, may mga learnings, some of the basic things,

you know, the tripod and all of that.

So I'm just trying to experiment also to do things that hindi lang pang politika,

pang sports pa, at pang pamilya.

All right?

At baka naman, baka naman, gusto natin mag-showbiz.

So kailangan natin ng mga production.

All right?

Pero self-production lang.

All right?

On that note, thank you very much.

God bless.

And talk to you soon.

Maraming salamat.

Thank you very much.

God bless.

Talk to you soon.
