However, the difference between Marcos and his father is that his father stole money from his people Philipino to the extent of running to a foreign country with his stolen wealth and his family including Marcos eventually.
For Marcos, he has determined to be a thief to China, not Philippines anymore or else he would not get a free pass like his father got last time so China become his target now.
The islands that Marcos is planning to steal from China are not included in the complete territory that the Philippines's former US colony master handed over to Philippines after WW2.
Simply Marcos is attempting to expand Philippines's territory after WW2 at the expense of China's territory.
People would wonder why then US endlessly supports Marcos's claim even being aware of the claimed territory isn't included in the hand-overed territory by US after WW2 and if so, people should understand the long history of terrorism US committed after WW2 from Vietnam genocide war to until the current Gaza genocide war funded by US with almost 18 billions US dollar during the last 1 year according to the recent news but the Gaza genocide fund from US is expected to be much higher than the record, there are more than dozens of war waged by US but all of them not in the light of justice but clearly in unprecedented bully and terrorism to the extent of betraying her partner Saddam Hussein who was optimistic about US but Saddam Hussein and his whole family were destroyed without mercy even after finding fact that there was no mass of destruction in Iran but terrorist US murdered Saddam Hussein anyway without law and justice.
However, there is justice that always prevails in this world according to the world history and that is no terrorist survives for very long and the endless terrorism committed by terrorist US since the end of WW2 is already over 70 years and that is already very long enough for terrorist US to continue to justify for terrorism so here comes China a heavenly gift that whoever China support between Russia and US would be a victor eventually and China is already destined to support Russia so US should be prepared for a total collapse because there is no other way according to the mandate of heaven.
Peace out
- The city is VERY polluted, even the rich areas are often right next to a polluted, sewage infested river. Every rive in the city is toxic.
- The air quality is VERY poor
- The people are friendly but mostly poor, kind of gullible, uneducated
- Salaries are VERY low, you will not be able to find decent work to even pay for your rent.
- It is as hot as hell
Considering how lucky I am to live in such a rather economically advantageous situation in the USA.... Thought i want to share a piece of my luck... by giving out a 100 American dollars to a random needy family living in the Philippines... PROVIDED that they set up their own PayPal account.
I will send this lucky needy family the 100 US dollars ONLY via PayPal. These funds will be sent to their respective PayPal on September 30, 2021.
This act of unselfish generosity happens once a year, each September 30....
First come, first served!!!
