SOUTH CHINA SEA (The Adobo Chronicles, Aquatic Bureau) – Emotions ran high after the Philippine Coast Guard released a video of the Chinese Coast Guard firing a water cannon at a Philippine supply boat in the South China Sea.
Philippine Senators immediately condemned the incident and proposed sanctions against China, including banning China state-owned businesses in the Philippines and lodging a formal complaint with the United Nations.
But a video from a different angle tells a different story. The CCG didn’t hit anywhere near the ship’s deck. It sprayed on the water!
Will the senators now temper their emotions and go easy on China?
Moral of the story: there’s always two angles to a news video!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The lone opposition voice in the Philippine Senate says the country should ban all Chinese state-owned companies and subsidiaries operating in the Philippines.That includes the 40 percent Chinese stake in the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines which supplies electric power in the country.
Senator Risa Hontiveros made the suggestion following the water cannon incident in the South China Sea involving the Chinese and Philippine Coast Guards.
But Hontiveros takes her idea up one notch. She wants all Filipinos to discard and give up all their Apple gadgets as a form of public protest over the South China Sea incident.
But why Apple?
Well, more than 95% of iPhones, AirPods, Macs and iPads are made in China.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Move over, firepower! The world has finally come to lasting peace, thanks to water cannons.
From the South China Sea to New York City; from Sydney, Australia to Okada Manila, water cannons have become the weapon of choice, ensuring that none of the death and destruction that characterized World Wars I and II, and all wars thereafter ever happen again.
From hereon, wars will be fought not through guns and bombs. Rather, they will be wars of intimidation using a resource that every single country in the world has access to: water!
