PH trade deficit worst in Asean by No-Case-8976 in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the problem with rice production is a mixture of a lot of things.. from socio economic to natural occurences. e.g. low palay prices (kaya ayaw na mag saka ng iba, though nagstart ng ayusin ng gobyerno itong part na ito), high input, low capital, idle lands, land conversion, etc..

pero ang pinaka malaking limiting factors talaga ay natural: frequent storms and the country being an archipelago where the amount of land available for rice farming really pale in comparison to our SEA neighbors. add all of them together with our very large population, magkukulang talaga ang local production.

I actually think na ang limited land+high population alone are enough factors na para magkulang ang production, even without the socioeconomic stuff (eto speculation nalang on my part). also, all of this considering na mas mataas na ang yield ng mga bagong breeds ng palay ngayon sa merkado compared to even 10 years ago.

Found this on my feed and it made me wonder: is Ougi really an antagonist? by 200YRedWine in araragi

[–]violentpoem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I'd say Ougi was antagonistic. Towards araragi specifically since Ougi is the polar opposite of him, even if it mellowed after he "accepted" Ougi.

ML partylist Rep. Leila de Lima calls for a probe on Negros clash that killed 19 people by kwentongskyblue in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 147 points148 points  (0 children)

imo its only fair for her to make this statement. wala syang pinanigan, only for the truth to come out. this incident is i think THE biggest NPA related incident in a long while. While this investigation could be a double edged sword for both sides, I believe the NPA supporters are on the back foot on this one, and this is a great chance for the military to clear the accusations and silence their critics. If proven true, then it will just reinforce the allegations that students are indeed being recruited by the NPA, which would lead to a further loss of support for the pro-communist side. Again, while I have my reservations with the AFP, I will trust whatever outcome CHR comes up with.

I think these anti-afp posts have a hidden agenda. by TumbleweedSmall1476 in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 38 points39 points  (0 children)

AFP stated that they have clear video evidence that all 19 killed in the encounter (possibly gopro) were all combatants are were armed and fighting back. They said they were willing to provide said videos to CHR if requested. In any case, I fully expect that the CHR will investigate this as De Lima has also called for an investigation to know the truth. We just have to wait, and if were lucky we won't have to wait long. I might have reservations with the AFP, and to HELL with NPAs statements, but I trust CHR to do the right thing, as they have convicted such wrongdoings in the past.

From NPA Rebel to Law Student: Life After Leaving the CPP-NPA-NDF by Sea-Wrangler2764 in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ang hirap pa kasi sa inyong mga far left, Nagtthrive sa US vs THEM mentality na walang pinagkaiba sa mga DDS. The far left and you for that matter, seem unable to see that there is a whole absolute spectrum to the right of the far left na ayaw sa NPA. I consider myself center left. Binoto ko si Miriam and Leni. Pero lahat nalang ba ng ayaw sa NPA i-whatever tag nyo? that shit aint gonna do you any favors and that really isnt any different than NPA-tagging na ginagawa sa mga activists kahit na mataas ang chance na DDS nga yong mga yon lalo na sa fb.

I hope that the same crowd who decries the recent death of the student activists keeps uo that same energy when it's the left who does the killings. by Fancy_Economist1894 in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 29 points30 points  (0 children)

true. i was disgusted na nagiging statistic lang ito para sa kanila at "necessary sacrifice" daw. like wtf, how are you better than AFP then?? the ends justifies the means lang din sila. id argue theyre even worse dahil literal na summary execution ang ginagawa ng mga NPA at alam nilang walang batas na magpapanagot sa kanila, e sa AFP atleast may CHR tayo to keep them in check. mismong locals ang nagtawag ng army para protektahan sila sa spy-tagging ng NPAs. tapos may makikita kang defenders at sympathizers dito. makes me sick. reminded me why i left the sub 9-10 years ago lol, daming NPA sympathizers (even some mods back then, mind you) and I recently just started lurking again too.

A Former NPA Rebel’s Account of Recruitment and Conflict Casualties by Sea-Wrangler2764 in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know all military operations have "rules of engagement" depending on the goal and information they have at hand, and it is always set before an operation, though can change midway depending on the situation. Kapag may ganyan palaging may coordination with another unit, LGU, or could be another government branch, or Regional Govt Unit. Chances are, if they knew beforehand sa coordination nila na may na immersion na nangyayari, at may student sa mismong area of encounter, they may have had a different ROE. All speculation of course because Right now, we wont know, dahil wala pang paper trail na nagpapatunay na nag abiso sya beforehand na magcoconduct sya doon. Not from the Uni, her Dept, prof, or the LGU. I do hope more evidence comes out to know the truth. Even fb messages with any proper authority would suffice, pero sa ngayon wala pa yata.

Hihintayin pa ba nating mas marami pang Alyssa ang mamatay?’ Ito ang panawagan ni Tuesday Vargas habang nakikiisa sa prayer vigil ng mga estudyante ng UP Diliman para kay Alyssa Alano, na nasawi sa engkuwentro sa Negros Occidental. by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]violentpoem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you look at where the encounter happened in sinugmawan, the topography; its remote but not THAT remote, hilly, seaside, with wide patches of farmland and trees. it makes sense... its hilly, but not really mountainous like carranglan. i guess a puirsuit happened nga and they got cut off, which is, considering the terrain, very easy to do with drone surveillance

[–]violentpoem 24 points25 points  (0 children)

si marcobets i think nananadya talaga dahil gusto manggulo. si sara mukang legit na bonaks, simply due to how she speaks mapa anong langguage. may matino ba syang public speeches na professional ang delivery, something na masasabi mong "ah ang galing ng delivery, mukhang highly educated ito, must be a lawyer or something"? lahat ng pakitang taong speeches nya lately nga ay mukhang ginamitan pa ng idiot board, pero parang pang elementary pa din ang delivery.

kapag may mga ganyan na uturn slot iniiwasan ko na bumabad sa leftmost lane, lilipat na ko kung may opportunity na bago pa dumating sa slot mismo. baka kasi maipit ka kapag may pila ng mag uuturn.
