WATCH | From Philippine skies to Brunei. The Philippine Air Force arrived in Brunei Darussalam on May 28, 2026, with FA-50PH fighter aircraft and a C-130 aircraft to support the Capability Static Display during the 65th Royal Brunei Armed Forces Anniversary Celebration.

@AlphaPabloluna Yoona must be the one they chose to participate on that incoming survival show

Based on their clothes and hairstyles, this doesn’t seem to be from 4.17 & 4.26. Kotoko and Seowon weren’t wearing the same outfits during those schedules. So this might actually be newer. I also don’t recall another event where they wore these outfits together with G’s hair.

THE STORY CHINA WANTS TO NORMALIZE, THE DUTCH “EXPULSION” NARRATIVE | China claims it “drove away” a Dutch naval vessel in the South China Sea. Here's a familiar pattern: official state framing, amplified commentary, then a military spokesperson to seal the message—different channels, one synchronized line. The intent is deterrence, especially against European deployments: raise political cost through public warnings, regardless of the legal basis for transit. Here is the baseline: rights at sea come from international law—not from anyone’s permission. In international waters and in Exclusive Economic Zones, lawful navigation is not interference. #BRPSierraMadre #WPS #WestPhilippineSea #SouthChinaSea #UNCLOS #FreedomOfNavigation #RulesBasedOrder #MaritimeSecurity

#June4 is not just numbers; it’s the blood of innocent students. History can be censored, but never erased! If the CCP is so confident in its version of history, why does it still fear people talking about it 37 yrs later? #TiananmenMassacre @FreeAll_protest @Tenam108 @Sohnie

In 1995: China said #MischiefReef was just a fishermen’s shelter 20 years later: missile defenses, naval facilities & a full airbase sit on the reef China didn’t build trust; it built a military fortress under the cover of diplomacy. The South China Sea is suffering.

P500 million pesos! That's how much Duterte-loving Senator Estrada stole from the Filipino people through plunder, according to the Ombudsman, as charges against him and others are filed before the Sandiganbayan. The charge: plunder without no bail for engaging in a kickback system over government infrastructure and crimes against the Republic. Former DPWH Sec. Manuel Bonoan and other DPWH NCR officials also had charges filed against them. Former DPWH Usec. Roberto Bernardo, former NCR Regional Director Gerard Opulencia, and former Bulacan 1st District Engineer Henry Alcantara have been formally excluded from criminal prosecution and are now under the state's witness protection program. Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano held a press briefing on Thursday afternoon to present the charges before Philippine media.

OMBUDSMAN: NO BAIL FOR ESTRADA, OVER ₱573M IN PAYOUTS DELIVERED TO SENATOR JUST IN: The Office of the Ombudsman has recommended no bail for Sen. Jinggoy Estrada in filing a plunder case against the senator in relation to the flood control scam. Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano said investigation shows a total of over ₱573 million in kickback was systematically delivered to Estrada, once acquitted in the pork barrel scandal. | @bylancemejico

REPEATED INTRUSION DOES NOT CREATE LEGAL RIGHTS | China’s continuous presence and aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea are not lawful operations — they are calculated attempts to normalize illegal activity through repetition, intimidation, and propaganda. From maritime militia swarms to coast guard incursions deep within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone, the strategy is clear: pressure the Philippines into silence and make unlawful actions appear “normal” over time. But no amount of intimidation can rewrite international law. The 2016 Arbitral Award already rejected the so-called nine-dash line. Under UNCLOS, maritime rights are defined by law — not by coercion, historical revisionism, or manufactured narratives. The Philippines will continue to document, expose, and challenge every illegal action in our waters. Filipinos will stand firm. The Filipino people will defend what rightfully belongs to them. #BRPSierraMadre #WestPhilippineSea #WPS #DefendWhatisOurs #RuleOfLaw #UNCLOS #standfirmph #TransparencyIsResistance #NotOneMore

@LTYokota And a lot of them are mostly CCP implants pretending to be Filipino's since there was a report that almost 50K+ chinese were given fake filipino birth certificate in Davao.

🇵🇭🤔 Clearly, the majority of the people from Davao are believe CCP China’s propaganda lies about the West Philippine Sea and would rather give it up to China simply because it is stronger. Now how would these Davaoeños be seen by fellow Filipinos?

As ASEAN Chair, the Philippines has prioritised engagement with the group’s key dialogue partners while simultaneously expanding its defence partnerships and modernising its military. Ahead of the Shangri-La Dialogue, read Justin Baquisal’s report examining the promises and limitations of the country’s archipelagic defence strategy. bit.ly/42Lp1VB IISS Shangri-La Dialogue    29–31 May 2026  #IISS_SLD26    go.iiss.org/SLD26

NASA has just launched a new website for its Moon Base missions, which aims to build a permanent $20 billion U.S. base on the Moon. @SpaceX's Starship rocket will play a big role in these missions. "The Moon Base is a home away from Earth for Artemis astronauts who will live and work at humanity’s first lunar outpost. NASA is leading global teams of innovators across international space agencies, industry, and academia to build the Moon Base and establish an enduring human presence near the lunar South Pole for the benefit of all. Phase One (Now–2029): Experiment and Learn NASA will begin with a rapid series of robotic missions to scout the lunar South Pole region, test technologies, and prepare for surface operations ahead of future astronaut missions.: • A major increase in lunar activity, with up to 25 missions, including 21 landings. • Crewed and autonomous rovers for mobility demonstrations and surface preparation, along with four drones known as MoonFall and communications relay and observation satellites. • Early demonstrations of power, navigation, communications, and nuclear radioisotope heater unit technologies designed to endure the long lunar night. • Scientific payload opportunities integrated across landers and rovers. • The first tangible footprint of Moon Base effort, with four tons of payload delivered to test what works on the lunar surface. Phase Two (2029–2032): Early Habitation By 2029, NASA will transition to assembling semi-permanent infrastructure and initiating early habitation and logistics operations: • Deployment of expanded solar power systems and initial nuclear surface power capabilities, potentially including fission reactors and radioisotope power systems. • Upgraded rovers, potential advanced MoonFall drones, and early habitation elements. • Enhanced surface-to-orbit communications networks to provide reliable connectivity across the lunar South Pole region. • Delivery of up to 60 tons of cargo through as many as 24 landings using low-, medium-, and heavy-class cargo landers. Phase Three (2032 and Beyond): Sustained Human Presence This phase will scale operations to achieve a true enduring presence, with routine crew rotations and continuous surface activity. This is when living and working on the Moon becomes a reality: • Semi-permanent habitation modules with spacious interior for crew living and operations. • Operational fission surface power systems capable of delivering steady, reliable energy through the long lunar nights, leveraging in situ resource manufacturing. • Advanced logistics networks supported by crewed and autonomous rovers to keep the base supplied and functioning year-round. • Delivery of up to 38 tons of cargo annually to sustain habitats, power systems, logistics operations, and major science outposts, enabled by low-cost reusable heavy-lift capabilities."

NASA just officially unveiled their master plan for a permanent Moon Base at the lunar South Pole This is not just about flags and footprints. NASA is moving to establish an enduring, sustained human presence, and they are heavily relying on commercial innovators to build it The roadmap is highly aggressive: • Phase 1: Heavy robotic missions and commercial payload deliveries • Phase 2: Semi-permanent infrastructure, including fission surface power and lunar drones • Phase 3: A sustained, permanent human outpost The most important takeaway is NASA explicitly stated this base is the ultimate proving ground to prepare humanity for missions to Mars While legacy aerospace companies are still struggling to reliably get a small capsule to the ISS, NASA is setting the stage for massive lunar infrastructure....which is exactly the kind of heavy-lift planetary deployment SpaceX’s Starship was designed for The multi-planetary economy is officially kicking off

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) monitored 36 Chinese coast guard and naval vessels in the West Philippine Sea within just one week, reflecting the continued use of “gray zone tactics” — aggressive actions designed to intimidate and pressure without triggering open conflict. These tactics include the constant presence of warships, swarming of maritime areas, intimidation of Filipino fishermen, and the normalization of foreign intrusion in Philippine waters. While presented as routine patrols, these actions slowly erode Philippine sovereignty and test the nation’s resolve in defending its lawful maritime rights. Despite these pressures, Filipino frontliners continue to stand firm in protecting the country’s waters, livelihood, and national dignity. The West Philippine Sea is not just a strategic waterway — it is a vital source of food, livelihood, and future for millions of Filipinos. No amount of intimidation can erase the Philippines’ lawful rights in its own seas. #BRPSierraMadre #WestPhilippineSea #WPS #NationalSecurity #unitedfrontworks #illegalActivities #NotOneMore

The minority walked out so that the Senate has no quorum while Sen Tito moved to ajourn. Otherwise, criminal senators would have been able to vote while incarcerated or in hiding. I’m so relieved we have these 11 fighting for us. Ten gentlemen and One MOTHER
