The Philippines must also learn from the lessons of World War II to avoid another global conflict, which was predicted to happen in the second half of the 21st century.
Another way to modernize the Armed Forces

Marawi’s bakwit
Past Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s first 100 days, the so-called independent and quasi-judicial Marawi Compensation Board seems to have been stuck somewhere between the imagination and amnesia.
