You are absolutely right ambassador traveling internationally is tiring and stressful especially long flights to the United States and considering the 12 hour time difference, it’s hectic to the body and mind😭😭PBBM is truly resilient physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically 💪✌️God bless PBBM and the Philippines 🙏🇵🇭🙏

There are areas in the Philippines with potential gas and oil why they did not start the exploration. Philippines needs more oil very badly.

We have to protect our country whatever it takes. I think PBBM is laying a safety net for our economic interest before confronting china thats why he travelled alot . But what he failed to do is to solve the domestic dispute between him and the duterte clan and associates. He should be strong to implement sunctions to them because it's a known fact that they are china's allies and influencer. Baka masayang ang pinag trabahoan niya because of their black and deceptive propaganda against his response to china. Just think about it.
