@elainereyes7722 You are a pro-Duterte supporter are you not? So you assumed I was anti-Duterte because I am opposing this law on the grounds that I do not trust our cops. Let me quote you:
"The problem is opposition will always opose no matter what"
Implying that I am opposing the law simply because I was a member of the opposition. I am neither pro- nor anti-Duterte. I support some of his laws. I oppose others. Call me what I actually am: a responsible citizen. Not a "follower" who thinks certain politicians are right, no matter what they actually do in their terms. And in case you were wondering, I voted for the late Miriam Santiago last election.
Of course it's not my job to fix corruption. LOL. I'm not Batman. Neither is it yours, unless we both decide to run for office. It's the government's job to fix corruption. It's literally why we pay their salaries. And you don't even need me for recommendations, multiple other countries already have models we can use to lower corruption, from lifestyle checks to bodycams to simply better training and entrance requirements. But heck, even in cadets in school, people still die regularly from hazing which is ironically against the law.
The only thing we citizens can do is vote. And even that is fallible because most people vote based on allegiances, not on platforms or even competence, which is how we end up with absolutely useless people like Bato in the Senate.
I'm not even sure what your point is. Are you saying it's our fault that the government is corrupt? Are you saying the government is not corrupt?
Or are you saying we should ignore the corruption because we can't fix it and just hope the police and military won't abuse it? Because again, even within the last few months, cops have repeatedly demonstrated how inept they can be. From the rapist cops in Ilocos who killed the 15-year old victim; to the cops in Sulu who ambushed soldiers; to the cops who were smuggling a truckload of beer into ECQ areas and then got into a gunfight with other cops; to the cops who tried to fine a maid for watering plants literally just outside the house without a mask, and so on. Absolute incompetence everywhere I look. And we're supposed to just believe they won't abuse their newfound powers to imprison anyone without trial.

@MikhailKalashnikovMiG No I'm just saying how ridiculous your claims of independent journalism is, from a country like China where your government controls every single information that gets to you. And the funny thing is you think we're the ones who are "brainwashed" by western media.
As I've said, ask a Central Asian how they feel. Ask an Uyghur how they feel. You can google that easily enough... oh wait. You can't. XD
Unlike you, we aren't blinded, deafened, or silenced by our governments, we see what your government does from firsthand experience.
Which is why the statement in the video itself is hilarious. You really do believe other countries love China so much. Haha.
What's pathetic is your only defense is "but Central Asians like us when we give them money!"
China has no one else to blame for its own reputation but its own actions. From the China-India border war, to friendship with the tyrants in North Korea, to the annexation by force of Tibet and Xinjiang, to the South China Sea military islands, to the loss of Sri Lankan territory from debt. There's no reason why other Asian countries should trust you. Without trust, there is no friendship.

@callietowers7515 No it's colorism. Ilang half-black Filipinos ba kakilala mo? Ako wala. Ilang half-white Filipinos kakilala mo? Ako madami, including pamilya ko. Tapos nagwo-wonder ka kung bakit less represented sila?
And I mentioned Koreans, Chinese, etc. because they're proof against your claim na colonial mentality ang ugat ng problema natin. Nagagandahan ba sila pag pure Korean/Chinese/Japanese na maitim ang balat (and yes, meron ganun)? Hindi. So how in the world do you explain that if you're claiming na TAYO lang ang ayaw sa maitim dahil nasakop tayo ng Kastila?
HINDI SILA NASAKOP, pero ayaw din nila ng maitim. Mas ayaw pa nga nila kesa sa atin. Gets mo? So your argument is baseless na ganun tayo dahil sa colonial mentality.
Innate lang talaga sa atin na nagagandahan tayo sa maputing balat. Mismo wala pa ang kastila, may ganun na tayong ugali. At hindi lang tayo. LAHAT NG ASIA. It's a beauty standard, and has nothing to do with race or colonialism.
But thing is. It doesn't apply universally. Kahit maitim balat mo if maganda ka talaga, maganda ka talaga. Again Jaya and Wilma Doesnt. BOTH women are regarded as beautiful, heck Wilma is a MODEL (and have you seen her daughter Asiana? She's gorgeous). Kahit dark ang skin nila, maganda sila. Or the other example I gave earlier: Venus Raj. Hindi rin typical na beauty contestant kasi morena, pero napakaganda rin sa mata ng Pilipino. So bakit nyo ginigeneralize? Beauty is beauty.
Di mo yata alam kung gaano kalalim ang pinag-ugatan ng racism sa ibang bansa. Sinisimplify mo na parang napaka-shallow lang ang rason. Hindi lang KULAY ang racism. Hindi away-bata ang racism. Napadaming pinagdaanan kung bakit may racism sa ibang bansa. Slavery, violence, genocide.
Tayo? May pinagdaanan ba tayong ganun against sa mga taong maitim ang balat? Wala. May pinatay na ba tayong tao dahil maitim balat nla? Wala. Wala tayong galit o pagkamuhi sa kanila. Simple ignorance lang at ang built-in natin na paghanga sa mga taong maputi.
Wag nyong gawing ibang issue. SJW na ang dating ninyo. IBA ang ugat ng ating di pagkakagusto sa maitim na balat, hindi racism. Lalo nyo lang pinahihirap ang sarili ninyo.

Yes No LOL. We had an old and cheap Hyundai Galloper as the family car. It always broke down. No one in the family wears jewelry, much less own a Prada or LV. My dad was a farmer, we own a few hectares of farmlands which is our main income. My mother manages a small store (we call them "sari-sari stores", google it). My siblings and I have mostly all moved abroad and send money regularly to support our parents, though we aren't rich either. We have a modest concrete family house with electricity, internet, and running water. We are all college-educated.
Our circumstances are the same as most of the people in our town, most also have OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) or family members that live abroad or are citizens of other countries. People who make a monthly income of 15,000 pesos to 100,000 pesos (around $300 to $2000). That should give you an idea of what middle class means in the Philippines. We are the people that Mark does not make videos of. We comprise around 40% of the total population of the Philippines.
A further 40% are classified as "low-income". Families earning around 8000 to 15,000 pesos a month ($160 to $300). These families are not considered poor either. Though they usually own motorcycles instead of cars, for example. These may seem poor to other countries, but remember that the cost of living is much lower in the Philippines. They may not be able to afford western comforts, but they eat regularly and can afford to give their kids a better education (which is why a lot are now moving up).
The true poor people, who live below the poverty line of less than 8,000 pesos a month, comprise only around 20% of the population as of 2015 (though that has been shrinking). Most also don't have problem with food, especially if they live in the rural areas where food is plentiful. Though given their low income, they usually have problems sending their children to universities (though a lot still do, since state universities are free and it ensures a better future). The most vulnerable groups of course, are the squatters of Manila who refuse to move out, even though they will have a better life if they go back to the rural areas. They chose their circumstances.
It's funny how you really believe the middle class doesn't exist in the Philippines. Start watching other videos of the Philippines. Not just Mark's.

That's the problem. You foreigners never seem to want to delve deeper and just want to accept things at face value. She's lying. that's why she's getting bashed. As a Filipino, let me enumerate her lies:
1. The rallyists were arrested for violating rules against congregating in public. They were putting themselves and others at risk.
2. ALL families are getting food rations. We just received ours a few days ago, and we're a middle class family.
3. Poor and middle class families are getting cash assistance.
4. Workers not being able to work are getting additional cash assistance from the labor department.
5. Cops will only arrest you if you violate curfew. You are allowed to go out and buy food and supplies.
6. The banning of public mass transport varies by city. Some areas have allowed certain transportation to continue operations to service people with no personal vehicles. There are also scheduled FREE transport for the elderly, minors, and health workers without personal vehicles.
7. Banks, supermarkets, wet markets, and other essential industries remain open.
8. Supply ships, planes, and trucks are allowed to pass through checkpoints.
9. People carrying humanitarian supplies are ALLOWED to pass through checkpoints.
10. The special powers Duterte has been granted is temporary. It is also not special, but is part of the emergency powers during a national crisis. The powers allow him to take over private hospitals, public utility businesses, and public transport, temporarily as needed. That's it.

yage bai "fact". LOL Is that what your mother tells you? In Asia alone, the only countries which love China are North Korea and Pakistan, and Bangladesh. And they only love you because you sell them weapons and they have different enemies (South Korea and India).
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Mongolia, India, Bhutan, etc. all hate China. Even in countries which your government controls (Cambodia, Laos), the common people do not like you. Heck, even Southeast Asian Chinese, and Hong Kong Chinese hate your mainlander ass. 😂 Countries which formerly liked you before the 9-dash dispute (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand) are all beginning to see you as a threat to Asian peace and progress, and are withdrawing from contracts they signed with you. You are threatening a vital sea-lane to us Southeast Asians.
There are 3.1 million Filipino-Americans in the US, mostly historical populations in Guam, Hawaii, California, and Alaska. The second largest Asian-American minority after you. I'm one of them. We have the highest rate of assimilation in the US out of ALL the migrant groups (not only for Asians), because we share very similar cultural values already.
Contrast this with the 5 million Chinese-Americans, many of them still can not speak English and are viewed with suspicion. Like you. Most second or more-generation Chinese-Americans (and Chinese-Canadians) who have assimilated also identify as Americans/Canadians first and view you as a hostile nation with a brainwashed population. And they're right.
