NOW The People’s Liberation Army issued a warning to the Philippine aircraft: Philippine C-208 aircraft, this is Chinese Navy vessel No. 554. You have entered my airspace over Huangyan Island. To avoid miscalculation, please leave immediately.

Yesterday I wrote an open letter on behalf of the motoring public to the LTFRB and MMDA about community carpooling. Today, we were formally invited to the table. Credit to MMDA chairman Artes for reaching out and being proactive. This is how it should be. Unfortunately, I can’t make it in person due to a death in the family, but I have submitted a formal position paper, and I want you to know exactly what it says. Here is the short version. The new carpooling guidelines being drafted today are a good start. Company shuttles, non-profit, streamlined permits. I support it. But it only helps people who work for companies large enough to organize one. That leaves out a lot of Filipinos. What we are pushing for is the community version. You register once, in person, with your subdivision HOA or your employer, just to make sure you are indeed part of that community. After that, you can use the app and match only with verified neighbors or colleagues going the same direction. The platform charges nothing. No permits. No government registration. Just two people deciding not to take two cars. This is already legal. Former LTFRB Chairman Martin Delgra said so on record. Community carpooling with no platform fees falls outside LTFRB jurisdiction. That was true then. It’s still true now. What’s been missing is a public endorsement that gives communities the confidence to build without fear of being shut down the way Wunder was. Three things I’m formally asking for in the position paper: One. Include community-based carpooling in the guidelines being written tomorrow. Two. Issue a public statement confirming it is legal and encouraged. Three. Recognize that the company shuttle model and the neighborhood carpool model serve different people. They can coexist. They should coexist. The full position paper is on record. If you want to see this happen, share this post. The more people behind this, the harder it is to ignore.

The oil crisis is spreading throughout the world. Many countries are going to extreme lengths to ration their supply as a result. Here are all the cases I could find: 1) The Philippines declared a national energy emergency. Government offices have shifted to a four-day work week, and agencies must cut fuel and electricity use by 10–20%. 2) Sri Lanka instituted a weekly public holiday for public officials and schools. It has also revived a QR code-based fuel rationing system that limits private cars to 25 liters of petrol per week. 3) Pakistan closed schools for two weeks and cut free fuel allocations for government vehicles by 50%. It also hiked high-octane fuel prices by 60%. 4) Bangladesh, shut down universities and colleges and implemented five-hour rolling blackouts for households to prioritize the garment export sector. 5) South Korea launched a nationwide energy-saving campaign and released a record 22.46 million barrels of strategic oil reserves. It also temporarily lifted limits on burning coal. 6) Thailand ordered civil servants to work from home, set office air conditioning to 26–27°C, and halted petroleum exports to preserve domestic stock. 7) Japan and announced its largest-ever release of strategic oil reserves, approximately 45 days' worth, to stabilize local markets. 8) Egypt ordered early closures for malls, restaurants, and government offices while switching off illuminated billboards. 9) Myanmar introduced an "odd-even" rationing system where private vehicles can only purchase fuel on alternating days based on their license plate numbers. 10) Nepal is a state-run oil corporation has begun rationing cooking gas by filling cylinders to only half their normal capacity (7.1 kg) and is urging a nationwide switch to induction cookers. 11) India has invoked emergency powers to divert liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) away from industrial users to prioritize household cooking needs. 12) Slovenia became the first EU member to implement fuel rationing, limiting private drivers to 50 liters of petrol per week and businesses to 200 liters. 13) Bhutan has officially banned the sale of fuel in jerry cans to prevent hoarding and has established strict rationing priorities for emergency services. 14) Vietnam is accelerating a transition to ethanol-blended gasoline ahead of schedule to reduce its reliance on pure fossil fuel imports. 15) South Sudan has begun rationing electricity in its capital, Juba, due to the high cost of oil used for power generation. 16) Laos has made working from home mandatory for all non-essential civil servants and introduced rotational shifts to reduce commuting demand. It gets worse. Gulf producers are nearly at their maximum storage capacity; once they run out of space to put unsold oil, they will be forced to "shut in" (permanently close) wells, which can cause long-term geological damage to the oil fields. This is the worst oil crisis in history. And it is going to get so much worse. unlike previous shocks, this crisis has wiped out the world's spare capacity because major producers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE are physically cut off from their customers by the Strait of Hormuz closure. All for what?

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.
