He has very similar views to you, a Nazi...

Oh did I not tell you? I am not a Nazi anymore

Because anyone who just tosses "martial law" around lightly probably isn't in the right state of mind to be running for president.

Oh, you are just basing by his words but not in his actions

You can't just throw away being a Nazi just like that, unless you have a weak political state of mind... Besides you still seem to have the virtues of one...

Again...let me repeat. I AM A SUBJECTIVE NATIONAL PROGRESSIVIST!

And I just became like that too

See what I mean, weak political mind...
In politics no matter how messed up your views are, if you believed in something quite fanatically you will still maintain something of it therefore you still have some type of Nazi view no matter how small you perceive it to be...

[Connori Pilgrims]

You forgot Ateneo. You dare.

---effectively neutered any critical thought outside the fences of Diliman, Katipunan Avenue and Taft Avenue.

Ateneo de Zamboanga...do not generalize what happens outside the schools you had said. I have the critical thought and my teachers and some of my classmates have that too.

Nazi view? More like a nationalist/fascist view. Asigna is progressive, but also brutal to the Chinese and quite hardcore nationalists.

[Zhouran]

sympathizer.

You aren't wrong. I can see Asigna became very powerful, but how? I question your nation's influence. If America condemned you because of the Anti-Chinese policies, then how come your army uses American weapons. Also, how did Philippines became hi-tech? It would take us decades to become that hi-tech in real life?

But then again, this is NS. Realism is quite fractured in this website.

Terten bought the weapons before Sunogabi happened. He then relied on the rest of the world after it actually happened. Through education and before Sunogabi, buying technology and foreign knowledge into Asigna Philippines, it became high tech.

Ah. I see. I apologize, I did forget the out of Manila branches of UP & Ateneo.

Be that as it may though, my point stands; there aren't enough people who use their brains in the Philippines to actually matter in national elections, which is why the politicians that the country has now are mostly utter dross

I believe in development, progress, liberality in terms of personal options, LGBT rights, globalization and industrialization. Yet at the same time, i have a socialist like view but mostly nationalist because i have a pathetic love for country.

This seems like a similar reason why China became hi-tech. Before Tiananmen in 1989, China acquired weapons from the West during the 80's. After Tiananmen, the West put an embargo on China. Interesting, isn't it?

Sigh... Who on Earth would believe a person who claims to be a believer in Industrialization and development, when he so readily believes in a man (Duterte) who willy nilly threatens Martial Law the minute he steps into office, it's practically hypocritical...

Well I don't believe in embargoes because most of the time they're only affecting the people not the Government. What the World should be doing is boycotting "public" (government controlled) firms in China because we don't hate China just its significantly more corrupt Government.

What is the general opinion of Nur Misuari amongst the non-muslims Filipinos?

[Connori Pilgrims]

What is the general opinion of Nur Misuari amongst the non-muslims Filipinos?

Bad-to-indifferent. He's already notorious from his MNLF separatist days; when he joined the peace process and became part of the ARMM autonomous region he then garnered a reputation for corruption and utter uselessness (then again, all other politicians are seen that way).

His reputation is definitely not high after the Zamboanga stunt he pulled last year. He now more or less politically irrelevant as of the current bangsamoro agreements, little more than a criminal really.

My parents are from Bacolod City but I'm US born and raised. Been to the Philippines a few times when I was younger. Bacolod, Iloilo, Cebu, Dumagete and Manila. I prefer the Visayas when I do visit. My parents are Illonggo and I can understand the language as well. When I asked them, why do we not go to any Filipino events in the US, they said they don't get along with other Filipinos. Most the Filipinos around where I live are Tagalog or Illocano. Do the groups not get along? Or is it just my parents being jerks?

Just another terrorist who broke the 1996 peace treaty... Why?

Most probably both.

Very true. They're seldom mutually exclusive in the Philippines.

Not to mention we're a country of 7,108 Islands, there will definitely be conflict just like California and Texas...

Seriously man, you gave me a very huge facepalm, Did I not told you that people can't declare Marshall law right after they just step in office, and Dueterte also believes in industrialization and development.

Very true. They're seldom mutually exclusive in the Philippines.

I'd say 7,900 if we got Spratlys islands, not with our current politics though that could actually make our islands from 7,108 to 0

Reputation Not high?? That'll make Asigna mad
Indeed he just pulled a week of small firefights, but the people of Zamboanga still suffered the aftereffects of the things he made

Or neither. Maybe your parents don't get along with them because of personal reasons. My mother is Ilonggo too and they get along with everybody.

As a non-Muslim Filipino, I'm gonna say he's a complete jerk.

Are the effects of the recent hurricane still troubling the place? I haven't looked it up.
