    If US really needed the Philippines, nakiaalam na sana at pinanalo si Leni kasi mas sure sila sa magiging foreign policy.

    Them not doing anything contradicts everything yoru saying.

    Alangan namang susugal pa sila sa Marcos admin kung kelangan na kelangan.

    Your hatred of the US makes for a compelling theory yet again.

    The US probably just told Marcos that China didn't make good on its promises anyway, just return to the fold. That would be an easier thing to do which Kamara might have done and any sane leader would agree on.

    Remember after meeting with China and issuing a joint statement about WPS and Chinese Coast Guard immediately harrassed Filipino fishermen, Marcos probably realized he would just be in a joyride. Better have a two-faced diplomatic relations with China instead.

    what made you think the US didn't try to help leni win

    overwhelming lang ung votes kay marcos

    that's why after the election nag set up agad ng NGO si leni

    (if you're not familiar with US funded NGOs read about how the US uses NGOs to support pro-US candidates to win elections in 3rd world countries)

    tapos nag road show pa si leni sa US making speeches about how marcos won on disinformation

    And what's your proof that they did?

    Remember, the one that accuses must be the one to show proof, or else... kuwentong barbero lang yan.

    when the US doesn't like a country's existing government, they don't necessarily use violence agad to replace it

    here's an example: they don't like the existing gov't of Malaysia so they fund local opposition...

    and wins an election

    remember rappler's consistent negative coverage on duterte

    remember duterte said target siya ng CIA

    he knows

    Rappler-CIA plot claim is attempt to cut funding, Philippine journalists say - Committee to Protect Journalists

    First were the politically motivated state charges that funding provided to the news website Rappler by a U.S. philanthropic foundation represented a violation of constitutional provisions barring foreign control or ownership of Philippine media.

    Then came government allegations in April that journalists from independent media groups, including Rappler, the independent media organization VERA Files, and the non-profit Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, were involved in a conspiracy to discredit and oust President Rodrigo Duterte’s elected government. All four outlets issued statements denying the allegation.

    Now, a pro-government media campaign claims that the same independent news outlets and the Philippine press freedom group Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility are in the pay of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a potential criminal offense under local law.

    The campaign claims that the CIA uses the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) to channel funds. CPJ documented last month how the conspiracy allegations have been advanced through a series of op-eds by the pro-government Manila Times, a century-old English-language newspaper currently owned by businessman Dante Ang, who serves as a public relations adviser to Duterte.

    Editors and directors of the targeted news and advocacy groups say they fear the op-eds–and their circulation on social media–could be used by the government to justify a clampdown on foreign-funded media in the name of security. All four outlets receive substantial grants from the NED.

    Funded largely by Congress, NED was founded in the early 1980s as a way for the U.S. to openly promote democracy worldwide by providing annual grants to non-governmental groups, according to its website.

    Melinda Quintos de Jesus, executive director of Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility, said she believes that the pro-government attacks on foreign funding could lead to state charges where the judiciary is asked to rule on what defines foreign ownership of media.

    wherever there are protests against a government the US doesn't like, asahan mo the US NGO NED is behind it

    Hongkongers with ties to US-backed group slammed by Beijing report could risk censure, analysts warn | South China Morning Post

    Hong Kong organisations or individuals could risk violating the national security law if they receive support from the US-backed National Endowment for Democracy (NED), analysts have said, after the body was attacked by Beijing in a recent report.

    The warning came several days after the scathing document issued by the Chinese foreign ministry denounced the organisation for funding the city’s social unrest in 2019 and acting as a “second Central Intelligence Agency”.

    The lengthy report, issued on Saturday, accused the NED of “meddling in Hong Kong’s elections and interfering in China’s internal affairs”, among other places, with numerous “examples” of how the organisation “subverted lawful governments and cultivated pro-US puppet forces around the world”.

    i never viewed leni as ambitious

    i don't think she wanted to run for president

    she was pressured to run coz she's the only pro-US candidate that had any chance against marcos

    Papano si China at Russia na nakikialam din sa election ng ibang bansa?

    Diba Russia and China made Trump win? Hehe. China financially backed Duterte.

    Same bananas.

    Democracy vs Communism. Chinese Imperialistic Reclamation vs Russian former glory vs US continued dominance. Same bananas. They all want to dominate.

    Kaya parang choosing a lesser evil lang yan.

    At least Yung isa lobbying lang idinadaan. Yung dalawa invasion ang gusto eh. Sa lobbying kung ayaw ng taumbayan wala magagawa US. Kung hindi talaga pasok sa public opinion. Yung sa iba, wala kang pake. Ah basta.

    Saan ka pa.

    Shifting the balance of power | The Freeman

    The American foreign policy in Asia Pacific had been hitherto built around what it calls the policy of strategic ambiguity. It’s really a tactic in warfare to confuse the enemy. For instance, the US presidents Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and George Bush openly declared America respects and upholds the One China policy, yet they keep on giving massive support and encouragement to Taiwan to strengthen its institutions and armaments. The US also keeps on giving technical and material support to South Korea to the great consternation of North Korea and China. America is an expert poker player, so are China and Russia. They say one thing and do the exact opposite. That’s strategic ambiguity, the politically correct term for deception and deceit.
    Same bananas.

    The US may have found an ally with Leni. But Leni has proven that she is her own "man". LGU days pa lang alam mo nang straight talaga. Misinformation was real, the Philippines is indeed the best example of it being widely used to win an election. Those are facts.

    Leni didn't want that to determine future politics. It may be hard for someone to see that some people do feel like helping this ****ed up country of ours even though it's almost hopeless. But people like that exists regardless of our current predicament. Not all are cynical and hypocrites.

    If she was able to put up the NGO because of some financial aid, that would not have started at all if there was no intiative on her own brought about by her own experiences.

    Looking at here political history and background, I strongly believe that her convictions are her own. Support her or not, it's her choice in the first place. Tool my ass. Tell that to her face.
