USAID means fewer meddling NGOs in the PH and that can be a good thing

USAID basically serves as arms and legs for the CIA and US State Dept. They go into places that the CIA cannot go into so easily. And they serve the same agenda, all based on furthering their own interests. They do all kinds of nasty things. They also do actual humanitarian work, but only when it serves their purposes, which are usually evil. Their general focus is on ensuring that there are friendly, compliant governments around the world. They also get into weird culture change stuff and of course they know what's best for the local populations around the world because they have money and went to good colleges or something. Everything they do comes with strings attached. They are no one's friends.

This is a well written newsletter and touched many issues. The three main issues that I see that harms the Filipinos and stifle growth is one, they need to lead their own way, get out of un-elected organizations like WHO, USAID and others their tentacles reach into your elected officials being paid off to do the will of those un-elected organizations. Your political leaders were elected to represent Filipinos not foreign entities, if they are not qualified or can't perform their duties, don't run or step down you do more harm than good for your fellow Filipinos.

Secondly, the corruption takes away the needed finances to address the many needs of Filipinos, as I travel through the Philippines my heart aches for Filipinos who have to live in such harsh conditions, some don't even have the access to basic human needs like clean safe water, food & housing all the while the extravagance inside your major cities. Just some simple tax matters & education could go a long way to solve these problems, and this is where good honest elected leadership come into play to make life better for all Filipinos.

Thirdly, your bureaucracy of government agencies needs to be streamlined, one document should need weeks or months and a half a dozen government offices to go thru, which only invites corruption and wasteful spending which instead is needed to help all Filipinos and not a select few.

The Philippines has so much potential, and the Filipinos are second to no one.

I suspected USAID was involved with the DepEd - curricula promoting globalist agenda (global warming scam, "environmentalism", depopulation via family planning & contraception= "sex education" which was first put into place in the late '60s-early '70s, etc.). What the heck is "social-emotional learning"? And "special needs" - of course, because of those doggone childhood shots causing neurological injuries/autism/learning disabilitie, asthma, autoimmune disease... and add the toxic, murderous CV19 shots to all that. What a mess.

So sad to read about the decline of agriculture, when that used to be the country's focus back in the 60s-70s. Still can't produce enough of our own rice!

And the pols/TRAPOs will only be interested in making sure they stay in power in the next "election" and not in improving things for the people. Whoever might be spearheading initiatives for this and that is likely just a NED/USAID/globalist asset.

If hordes of Filipinos were not working abroad as OFWs (sadly ripping apart families!), that country would be in even worse shape economically.

Thanks for the fine collation of news I cannot get elsewhere. Most of my peers and friends there are uninterested in these things, save for a scant few who want to be aware.

Oh, I didn't realize the burdens put on foreigners visiting the country. My skeptical self thinks it's to shake down foreigners for more moolah, and corruption. Directed at the Chinese, most likely - who are a huge part of our history, ethnicity, trade, economy. Dumb sinophobia by vassal state encouraged by Yoo Ess Ay, when China is the country's 1st or 2nd biggest trading partner (they don't give the actual numbers for China there, hmm...).

Could lower food production point to fewer Filipinos alive to purchase and eat said food? Just thinking aloud here. The market responds quickly to a glut by self-correcting and producing less to sell.

There are not fewer Filipinos alive though. There are fewer alive than there should be though, so the globalists will have to be happy with that. Let's not let it happen again. The best option is fewer globalists alive. Thankfully the tide is turning against these cretins.

The food production numbers enumerated here by Super Sally are disturbing though, for sure. I would really like to know what's driving all of it.

I don't think the population is changed enough to impact food production at this point. However, there are big shifts in agriculture with the buying up of farmland by developers, and by financial woes of farmers who attempt to eke out livings. There are also problems with farm to market infrastructure which will lead to product losses. Manual farming is very hard labor and not attractive to many youth.
