For so many years, we have complained and howled against political dynasties.
Ever since we established ourselves as a republic and began electing leaders in government, it has become a given, even deep-rooted and thus an innate limitation. Ever since, only a few, and therefore the same people from the same families are always elected into office.

Philippine ruling elite whips up anti-China campaign to justify alignment with US war plans
As the United States steps up its campaign to provoke China into war, the Philippines has lined up behind Washington, increasingly transforming the country into a lead attack dog in the region for American imperialism.

I just finished reading ‘The Filipinos in the Philippines and other essays’. I’m not sure what I’ll read next. Maybe I’ll read Michael Parenti’s ‘The Face of Imperialism’. 🤷🏼♀️

I came across this book by Filipino historian Renato Constantino, and started reading it earlier. This is the first book that I’ve read on the history of the Philippines. I’m only 24% through it, but it’s good so far.
