Bravo President FMJ! God bless you for restoring our alliance with the US! Band of Brothers forever! Please don't let our local business monopolists rob our nation's treasures again. The cronies are awaiting your return with loot from America. Please look after the ordinary Pilipino workers and startups. Thank you, Mr President.

Makabayan bloc:

I am confused with the rallyists of patriot bloc, anakpawis, bayan muna, kmu, gabriela, kabata and other members during PRRD they want the philippines to fight against china not friendly/diplomacy about wps/south china sea but now they don't want to have EDCA sites in America to avoid trouble between America, China and the Philippines. These patriotic blocs are really just deceiving us so that the people will cooperate with their plan that they want our country to be communist and they will rule and they are really communist because they are waving the flag of the communist symbol that is karl marx, lenin, stalin and mao tse tsung leader and founder of world communism. Countrymen, do we want our government to be under communism?

Climate change:

Back then the heat was up to 42 celsius degress but now it has become 45 celsius degress, how can we reach 50 celsius degress and above next year all the forests will burn and many people will have heat stroke, we need to stop using diesel and gasoline let's use renewable energy and nuclear power plants that won't destroy nature like our ozone layer, while it's not bad enough that we need to protect our world so we don't reach the hottest time and we don't always have rain, floods, landslides and typhoons If we continue to use gasoline/diesel in the next few years the world will collapse. While it's not bad, let's act.

EDCA:

I hope America, the Philippines, our allies and China do not go to war so that there will be no world war 3 and if there is a war they will not use nuclear weapons, nuclear is the explosive that will destroy. entire metro Manila but after the explosion it will cause cancer. . most people in Luzon because of its radiation. It's ok that our opponent is not a regional power and superpower of the world like vietnam, malaysia, singapore and brunie because they are the same powerful like the philippines or the ASEAN our neighbor countries are powerful than the philippines but no weapons of mass destruction like nuclear.
