The Oligarchy, Dynasty and Corruption Trap. --- 🧵 Part 1: Why the Philippines Keeps Falling Behind the rest of ASEAN The Philippines isn’t poor because Filipinos are lazy. It’s poor because power and wealth are trapped in the same few hands. An oligarchy–dynasty–corruption

Asia isn’t a chessboard where America moves pieces — it’s a Go board, and China already holds the center. The Philippines plays by law, ASEAN by balance, but geography decides the game. In the end, Asia is Chinese — Washington can visit, but it can’t stay.

Di naman gaano. Pero kung dolomite beach iimbestigahan mo imbis gumawa ka ng batas na unang katungkulan mo ibig sabihin hindi mo naiintindihan ang trabaho mo. Di naman porke't UP at Harvard ka matalino ka na. You can be a genius but not be intelligent. Ang tunay na pagsubok

Para dun sa mga Yellowidiots na hindi naiintindihan ang ibig sabihin ng nunances of the law eto ang kailangan gawin para ma-invoke ng isang public official na may pre-nuptial agreement sa ilalim ng RA 6713 ang exemption sa deklarasyon sa SALN sa parte ng asawa niya. ⚠️

Not going anywhere. And probably won't. There will be a designated fall guy. That was initially thought to be Zaldy Co but since his passport hasn't been canceled, it may be a sign that he's not it. Who then? Only those in the know, know. Meantime, we just tave to be content

So who will fry and who will fly? A couple have already flown the coop. Zaldy Co for one. Dong Gonzales has been quiet as with the rest of the coterie of sycophants who surrounded them at the height of their power since 2022. The ICI has released a list of those to be charged

Kiko's reason why Mega's assets aren't declared in his SALN being due to their pre-nup doesn't hold water. The IRR of RA 6713 obligates the spouse to be included even if she's not a government employee.
