World Bank Director:
'I Saw the
Craziest Things in
China'

August 10, 2025

First-hand accounts from foreign executives in China reveal how the country’s trajectory shifted from open curiosity to calculated competition. What began in the early 2000s as polite engagement and knowledge exchange evolved into widespread intellectual property theft, aggressive deal manipulation, and a systemic willingness to cut corners—even in life-and-death matters like infant formula safety. These experiences underscore a deeper concern: when a society’s moral framework is stripped away and replaced solely with the pursuit of power and success, the rules become whatever serves the end goal. China’s rise is not just an economic story—it’s a warning about what happens when ambition is untethered from ethics.

Trash to Survive
đŸ‡”đŸ‡­

May 5, 2025

This powerful short doc follows Frenchie, a foreign content creator, as he traces the life cycle of Pagpag — recycled fast food collected from Jollibee and McDonald’s trash bins, washed, cooked, and resold in the slums of Tondo, Manila. From speaking with street vendors to riding garbage trucks into “Happyland,” he uncovers how poverty forces thousands to survive on what others throw away. Both heartbreaking and deeply human, this video sheds light on the invisible food chain feeding the city’s poorest — and the dignity they maintain despite it.

Duterte praise, PH
election spin driven
by fake accounts
– study

April 15, 2025

Fake accounts, real damage. The pro-Duterte noise machine isn't grassroots — it’s a ghost army. AI now confirms what many suspected: a deliberate network of bots flooding social media to rewrite the narrative, paint Duterte as the victim, and manipulate midterm election discourse. The Philippines has become the testing ground for digital black ops. If we don’t wise up, we’ll keep voting in shadows, not leaders.

Lee Kwan Yew's
Warning to the
Philippines from the
Past

March 27, 2025

He saw a nation rich in talent, cursed by a culture that forgives failure and rewards corruption. While Singapore enforced discipline, the Philippines let clowns and crooks recycle power. We were ahead of South Korea once. Now we export our best people and re-elect our worst. His warning wasn’t prophecy. It was common sense. We just refused to listen.
