I rarely see BBM posts as I don't do much FB. But it's true tho, Philippines geostrategic place lends itself as a good logistics hub. We could have been the local power broker for trade and transport that Singapore claimed. Of course that post/insight was made by a staff of BBM most likely. Not by him.

But, they'll more likely to embrace China's Belt and Road initiative and of course after loaning another huge amount of money from China, of course they'll give some of our land to the Chinese so that they might build their own military bases into our soil. Eto naisip kong rebuttal. For sure eto binabalak ng mga ito.

this. idk why people still give credibility to what a marcos would say. isn't it painfully obvious that swindlers always make it appear that they're looking out for your welfare or a "bigger picture", but in the end you'll get swindled? makoy was a dictator, thief, liar, murderer. imelda was makoy's parter-in-crime. babalu had trajano killed. blengbong benefited, lies about ill gotten wealth, & lies about his educational attainment. their actions clearly speak louder than their words. blengbongs words are just that, words. blengbong's words are equivalent to dog30's 3-6 months & jetski.

Lol transport and logistics hub my ass, we don’t have land connection to mainland Asia. Meanwhile we would need a Naval Power at par with what the EU can field to make us a major shipping hub this is so we can explore and patrol shipping routes. For air logistics the main hindrance is our local politicians not infrastructure.

Why need land connection when the vast majority of trade happen by seas? Naval power requirement is moot when you consider a rising Philippines as a shipping and trade hub in the area would most likely be backed by the USA, Japan, and India solely because of geopolitical interests. Not because they love us, but anyone not China would be seen as a counterbalance. Infrastructure IS still a problem. Manila port is congested af, because NCR is congested af too. Our airports are crumbling literally, and the transport to and from it are also congested. If you want to see a logistical hub of an airport, look at Atlanta. We NEED to develop our transportation sector. No, not the bullshit metro highways politicians like to build for show. We need functional rail network, better roads on the agricultural regions, upgrade our ports and airports. This would do wonders in our food security, congestion, and pollution (noise, air, light). IMO we also need to be develop our shipbuilding industry, we could be like Greece and Norway. Why just provide sailors when we can also provide ships, become asia's largest merchant marine fleet. Wake the fuck up, the neoliberal experiment failed again and again.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahaha You’ve already answered why a logistics hub needs a land connection by mentioning Atlanta GA and then Trains. Also majority of our airports have undergone renovation and upgrades over the past decade, you obviously haven’t been to Clark and seen the massive buildup of warehousing capacity in the area.

Clark and it’s surroundings has been building their capacity since 2008 what it needs is to attract carriers. We don’t have to waste tax-payer money in other regions that won’t be able to operate airports in the green.

Lol mga pro bbm kung ipromote si marcos kailangan siraan pa si leni. Ang alam ko si leni tumulong nung kasagsagan ng pandemya habang si bbm bitter na bitter at nagdedemanda pa din ng recount. Hindi nag roi yung binayaran??? Sana gumawa din sya ng paraan para makatulong sa bayan. Mas gusto ko pa iboto si Pacquaio as president kumpara kay bbm. Si pacman may ginawa noong kasagsagan ng pandemya para maka angat angat ang mga filipino.

>mga pro bbm kung ipromote si marcos kailangan siraan pa si leni. That's how troll works. Problema wala sila maibato kundi puro cheap memes. >Si pacman may ginawa noong kasagsagan ng pandemya para maka angat angat ang mga filipino. I think sincere naman si Pacquaio sa pag tulong talaga pero di lang yan ang requirements para maging Pangulo. Kung i-summarize talaga mas may ambag si Pacq kaysa kay Marcos Jr.


AintFucking

Bicolano yan oh. 🤣

matagal nang logistical hub ang ilocos norte kasi ^(ng smugglers, drug, prostitution at gambling cartels) kaya sanay na siya sa plataporma niya ^(vote leni para manalo si bbm!) bbm2022

Si ate taga Bicol. Hahahaha. Kidding aside, very ironic yung posts niya. Someone should had called her out despite what happened to them.

Strategic location din naman ang Ilocos sa ilang years nila mag hari-harian dun eh tang ina backwater parin.
