What if bumalik tayo sa kapanahunan na lahat ng tao sa mundo ay hindi na nakatali sa particular na citizenship, as if malaya na tayo na lumipat kahit saang sulok ng mundo na walang passport na parang hunter-gatherer nomad at malayang makipagkalakan o magnegosyo na walang national-based protectionist barriers?
Sa pagkatinuod lang, dili ko interesado nga ipakaylap ang Bisaya gawas sa territoryo sa mga Bisaya (Cebuano-speaking regions) kay gamiton ra na nga platform para magkabuak-buak ang Pilipinas (balkanization), kay imagina kon i-standardize ang Bisaya nga maoy tumong sa MTB-MLE, basin mahimo tag kaugalingon nga literary ug mass media ecosystem nga puros pro-secession rhetoric ang content like sa Catalan sa Spain. Gamiton ra na sa China ug unya i-finance kining mga pro-Cebuano Bisaya secessionist leaders para buak-buakon ang Pilipinas ug sakupon ta pasekreto sa mga Instik.
Sa pagkatinuod lang, gusto ra nako na himuong sikreto lang tali sa mga native speakers o gusto mopuyo og dugay sa Cebuano-speaking regions ang Bisaya, dili ipamugos ang mga dili Bisaya nga mokat-on og istorya og Bisaya (akong kinaiya kabahin sa Bisaya susama sa mga Dutch ug Scandinavians nga dili maimpress kon naay foreigner mokat-on og istorya og Dutch ug Scandinavian languages). Kon tibuok Pilipinas ang hisgutan, mas maayo nga mag-angay kitang tanan og kat-on og istorya og English ug Spanish isip lingua franca, nga ang end goal nga mapapas na ang geographical ethnolinguistic identities para dili na magkabuak-buak ang Pilipinas puhon tungod lang sa lahi-lahing inistoryahan.
What if i-amend natin ang 1987 Constitution ng kaunti at gawing Sunday, imbes Monday, ang election day, as if pagkatapos dumalo sa misa ng umaga ay boboto ka sa kandidato pagkapresidente na pinupusoan mo?
Let's talk about language policy and planning here, and what do you think are the best ways to make a certain country a L2 Hispanophone country within a few generations (Spanish for the Philippines and the United States)?
Do you think officializing Spanish and mass migration of Hispanophone monoglots would accelerate the linguistic Castellanization process within two generations? I want to hear your thoughts on the comment section. Thank you.
TIL that Senator Ronald "Bato" de la Rosa claimed to have the same common ancestor as Jose Rizal through Ines de la Rosa. He said his love for country and willingness to lay his life for the Filipinos came from his ancestor, national hero Jose Rizal.
Bato knew this genealogical link with Jose Rizal when he visited Rizal Park and Shrine in Dapitan when he was a teenager and saw the name of Jose Rizal's ancestor, Ines de la Rosa, connected to Bato's own paternal ancestor.

Ano kaya ang buhay ng mga kababayan natin at ang kulturang Pilipino ngayon, kung hindi pina-shut down ng mga mambabatas na DDS ang ABS-CBN?
TIL that Cinco de Mayo or the Battle of Puebla is not included among the national holidays in Mexico, but rather a state-level holiday in the state of Puebla. It is more celebrated among the Mexican diaspora in the United States, not in Mexico itself, in the same manner that the Battle of Mactan (April 27) is not a Philippine national holiday but rather, a city-level holiday in Lapu Lapu City.

Para mabawasan ang mga HUMSS college undergraduate degree holders na unemployed at underemployed na potential na magiging left-wing at right-wing ideological extremist (elite overproduction), what if i-require na magkakaroon ang kanilang parent ng at least 1.5 million pesos na bank accounts ang mga magulang o financial sponsor nila bago tanggapin ang kanilang enrollment applications?
On Labor Day, we have to remember people who are unemployed or underemployed, most of whom are college undergraduates, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, where there is no demand for private-sector employment. The incumbent elite class must seriously address the issue of having a surplus of unemployed and underemployed college undergraduate degree holders aspiring to join the elite class (elite overproduction theory by Peter Turchin), otherwise they are digging their own grave, as per the experiences of most revolutions in modern history, where they were spearheaded by disgruntled aspiring counter-elite class.
The public sector should step in as the proactive employer of last resort for unemployed and underemployed college-educated individuals who cannot be employed in the private sector, particularly humanities and social science undergraduate degree holders. In times of economic recessions and depressions, only the public sector can provide stable jobs with steady monthly salary payouts, regardless of whether you are on a two-month vacation or not working because of a typhoon. The public sector can stimulate the economy in times of crisis by creating artificial demand, for example, teaching foreign languages other than English, like French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish, in public primary and secondary schools, and stimulate aforementioned FL usage outside classrooms.
With the AI mass adoption in the corporate world, the public sector must step in and absorb future displaced college-educated BPO call center agents and virtual assistants, and share their expertise in the government for nation-building purposes. Unlike sa pagiging call center agent o virtual assistant, may garantisadong monthly pension o kaya million-peso lump sum pension pagtuntong mo sa 60 years old, basta nakapagtrabaho ka sa government for at least 15 years in service.
Ano ang mangyayari in the short, medium, to long term sa ating ekonomiya kung taasan ng ating gobierno through legislation ang tax-exempt threshold sa annual earned income from 250k pesos to 600k pesos (50k pesos monthly)?
If you were to turn yourself back in your childhood years growing up with your siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles. would you prefer to be surrounded by educators (school teachers and college professors) or healthcare professionals (nurses, medtechs, physical therapists, pharmacists, physicians, surgeons, and dentists)?
Dahil kulang sa pera ang ating gobierno ngayon, what if mapag-isipan nila na kikita ng tax sa pamamagitan ng pag-impose ng shipping toll fee sa mga foreign shipping vessels na dadaan sa Bashi Channel at Sulu Sea at ang mga bansa na umayaw na magbayad ng shipping toll fee sa Bashi Channel at Sulu Sea ay hindi payagan na makadaan doon?
