Is coVid19 the Angel of Death?

More than 2 million affected 150k dead, in nearly 200 countries worldwide.

Reminding us religion wise to leave our evil ways and return to the ways of the Lord

Reminding us to take care of the earth, environment as God has commanded us.  

Testing our compassion and our ability to take care of our brethren..

Testing our leadership, institutions, our resources, and systems to respond to crisis and challenges as this..

Is this the sign of the times?

Lessons learned from coVid19

Lessons learned from Pandemic

There are plenty of things we learn from coVid19.

1.  Learn to go back to basics - food, shelter, sleep, water, some entertainment

2. We appreciate life of patients and prisoners. Hence we visit the sick and those imprisoned once in a while

3. We appreciate our life and freedom we enjoy before the lockdown.

4. The panndemic brought the best and worst in people. Pick the best, disdain the worse

5. We learn to appreciate what really counts in life - hence appreciation for front liners

6. We appreciate the value of friends in social media.

7. In this difficult times, scammers take advantage of the confusion and still continue to be the devil that they are.

8. Many as we, turn back to religion and God. He alone can stop this pandemic.

9. What is essential is invisible to the naked eye. - "The Little Prince". The virus that has infected over 2million worldwide is invisible.

10. Beware of fake news. We must discern what is true

An artist, scriptwriter, businesswoman was arrested and detained early morning of Sunday for posting alleged fake news that 9,000, total residents of Zapatera  as center of the Solar System.  The woman, who imply she  is a lawyer claims her post does not aim to sow confusion. among the residents.  Sec 6f of the Bayanihan to Heal as One Law. The case was not filed by National Official but by the mayor.   It is up to the  court/fiscals to decide.   As to whether the arrest is unconstitutional (the  entire law must be declared unconstitutional  - But section 7 says that this law must prevail.)

The more important fear being sowed is among those who bash, curse, or include political issues in their post with regards to the coVid19 post which includes and not limited to posts on SAP, handling of the crisis and morel

The President has been empowered and authorized by the power vested in him by the nation to use ways and means to execute plans and orders of his govt.   He might use this correctly or abuse this, but he has that authority over ordinary citizens who oppose him or wrongly accuse him/her  falsely.

Its time to delete or modify post or apologize publicly. There are 3 laws that can be thrown towards the basher:    the cybercrime law, the Revised Penal Code on libel and defamation and Section 6f of the Bayanihan to Heal as One Law.

This post has yet to see the outline of what needs to be done and their timelines as we lift the lockdown:  what are the phases, order of restoration, continued assistance to displaced workers and business

Is it going to be a total lifting or selective, ie lift lockdown in areas where there are fewer number of cases and retain where the pandemic still persists?

At the same time, how is the health/pandemic problem to be handled.   The virus continues to be virulent in the bodies of recovered and asymptomatic  individuals.   So we expect reinfection and recurrence of pandemic.  What are the redflags for the reimposition of lockdown.

Is this the reason why Sec. Pernia resigned -  he and the rest of the cabinet members cant agree on lifting of lockdown? He wants malls to resume operations soon? What about the health issues?

-x-x-x-x-x-x

Boris Johnson Cabinet split on Lifting of UK lockdown   Naturally the health department would want the threat removed completely before lifting of lockdown (but only possible when you have the vaccine)

Covid 19 origin - a conspiracy theory that it started in US

This post received a post at social media yesterday.  However, it seems that the post is deleted and could not forward the same to other friends through messenger, nor post at it at the same soc media platform where it started.  The picture of the covid19 labelled train bulk carrier is disturbing

This article may get me into trouble...???  This is just to save the post picture for posterity.  Surely, the US side would not like the world to see this theory and hypothesis

The post posit that the real source of the virus is from US because (as contained in the article)   of the following reasons:

1. There is a P5 laboratory in Maryland that delves in hazardous and deadly diseases:  Anthrax, SARS etc which although ordered closed due to non observance of waste water disposal still continue to operate

2.  The post alleges the Chinese spokesman version that the virus was brought to China who participated in the Wuhan War Games. There were 300 soldiers sent, no one won an event.  The soldiers went around Wuhan.

3. There is a long story that the reserarch started in University of North Carolina, and Chinese savants were involved;

4.  The findings that there are 4 to 5 versions/strain of the coronavirus around the world, and US has all the strains.

5.  There are speculations that US is the source since logiccally, if it has all the strains, then the conclusion is that  it is the source.

6.  The Wuhan theory can explain the Wuhan, Japan, Korea  (Italy becasuse of the Wuhan and Northern Italy business ties)  but not the US pandemic, nor high number of cases  in US - more than half a million, and that of Spain, France UK and Germany.   Why is there such a big number in US - due to the porous travel between US and China.

Letter of Atty Tony Lavina to PNP chief Lavina

This post noted the letter of former ASG Dean Tony Lavina to PNP chief Archie Gamboa regarding total disregard for human rights.  We are sure that PNP chief Archie Gamboa has legal officer in his staff who can defend his statement.   Here is a notation by this post...

It is to be emphasized that we live in extraordinary times, needing extra ordinary measures.   As such a law was passed RA 11469,  Bayanihan to Heal as One, which emphasized penalties:   imprisonment and fines (Section 7) for certain Acts Section 6 a to r for acts contrary to the said law.  Short of a martial law declaration the said Act granted the President and his cohorts emergency power.

The act was passed and as enumerated as one of the objectives to mitigate if not contain the transmission of CoVid 9.

The said law also contains Section 7 - Construction or Interpretation

NOTHING HEREIN CONSTRUED AS AN IMPAIRMENT RESTRICTION OR PROHIBITION OR MODIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION.  IN CASE IN THE EXERCISE OF THESE POWERS HEREIN GRANTED CONFLICTS WITH OTHER LAWS,  ORDERS OR REGULATIONS, THE PROVISION OF THIS ACT SHALL PREVAIL.  (Walang violation of human rights in the pursuit of eradicating the pandemic?  Right po ba)

If the citizen is not sick flaunts the law and does not obey, can arrest be made?   Like violating the curfew or stay at home order.  (part of quarantine)  The citizen is now a law breaker for not obeying an order in a health emergency.   And can not be considered a patient...?

Most of the countrymen have not obeyed the quarantine orders - to stay at home social distancing and defeats the purpose of quarantine.   And hereby puts at risk the efforts to prevent transmission.  Because every body is invoking his rights under the constitution   And even got attention in their videos.    We have rights in ordinary times;  perhaps that it is to be surrendered in this emergency where we are at war with an enemy.

Let us not weaken our resolve in this war with this Legal Niceties sir.   After the emergency na lang sana.   As of now we are not out of danger.  We have passed Malaysia in ASEAN as topnotcher in number of cases.   Let us be united to be as one not to be Number 1 this time - and save the  nation.  Remember this is a pandemic sirs.

Key Points of Unrestricted Warfare

It is more fun criticizing

Unrestricted warfare

Some years ago, I taught in a leading university graduate school course innovation as part of entrepreneurship course.   The rule in innovation is first there is no rule.

Thus, this document could very well entitled innovation in military principles.

Due to the emergence of Covid 19 infecting more than a million, and killing more than 60,000 and bringing down the whole world to its knees (crash of stockmarket, shortage of hospital supplies, lack of vaccine) this document comes to our mind, having been mentioned in number of documents and videos, ie that this writing must have been imbibed by the civilian and military leaders in China to pursue this action.

The authors, colonels at PLA wrote this document in February 1999 and talks about use of means military and non military means to achieve a country's goal of achieving its goal (of dominating another country)
Qiao Liang and Wang Xiashou.

The document should be read by our civilian and military leaders (at National Defense College) which teaches military stragegy.  While we struggling with politics, our would be master are putting one over us, for using a combination of military and non military means.    (Some in the govt, by using media in battle for supremacy are employing some of the principles.)

Some of the notes/observations in document

1.   War is an activity using military and non military means, using limited resources to achieve superiority over other nations

2. Might is right.   Those who have more soldiers and weapons win the war

3. Use of technology in weapons:   technology dictate the weapon to be used, or warfare dictate what technology to be used.

4. With technology the distinction between military and non military action becomes blurred.

5.  With high technology comes the need for a variety of weapons to achieve a goal.  As much as 300 weapons are needed to win a war. Sometimes the search for high tech weapon could bankrupt a country as it did to Russia (as it is doing to US where a B2 bomber cost can exceed $billions

6. There are variety of weapons to be used in todays conflict:   financial, trade and ecological (like poisoning lakes and  rivers/water supply) and the effects could be more devastating than a nuclear war.

7.  There should be distinction between soldiers of war, and/or hackers or financiers like George Soro who can disrupt currency exchange rate, or can disrupt computer network.    And  a wise general/leader should be able to exploit both military and non military means to subjugate other nations...   The scope and breath of war has radically changed.

8. The Desert Storm War:

     Some lessons learned:

     1.  It was  42 day war accomplished in 38 days with Air Force taking the lead

     2.  The main weapon of victory were the helicopters but were not noticed after the war

     3. It was achieved at great cost of $61B and was like shooting birds with golden bullets

     4. The war worked because of reorganization of DOD between Powell and Schwarskopf
          But the US military did not learn from it because of conflict among Airforce, Navy and Army

     5.  It worked because of addition and combination (of allied forces which was worked on brilliantly
         by diplomats

     6.  War can be fought side by side with media (CNN) because it can be used as propaganda
          and could change the disposition and morale of enemies

     7.   Powell and Schwarskopf, although they won the Desert Storm could not be considered great
          generals because they used traditional methods using high tech weapons to win the war.

         They did not understand the new concept of war.  Modern warfare..

9.  Some recommendation:

    1. Use of golden number (as in Da Vinci Code)   1:681

    2. Side by side

    3. Cocktails (of means to achieve superiority)

    4.  Removing boundaries: between military means and non military means, personnel and weapons.
         A modem a cp, laptop could be as lethal as a nuclear bomb.  Or a tomahawk.

Many of the Generals could be inept in adapting these methods and strategy

One of the rules by Sun Tzu a Chinese author on Art of War -  know thy enemy to achieve victories.
Let us know more about the enemy

In just released documentary, it was pointed out that the Coronavirus did not come from bats, or Wuhan Seafood market.   It came from a Virus Lab, in Wuhan, run and controlled by CCP military.  And probably a part of Chinese goal of global dominance.

In the Philippines, it is observed that its leadership has fallen for the Chinese "friendship" what with gifts of face mask (some say are infected), medical doctors, firearms for the police state visit, but at the same time, building military infrastructures at disputed islands.  Two faced diplomacy....And to the activitists of yester years, having won by the long March Mandala concept and what have you. espoused by Mao Tse Tung.  China is not friend - its the new imperialist replacing US and other Western Countries. Did Phil leadership observe the first rule?  Know thy enemy?

In a noted book on Strategy, it was mentioned that there are no friends, only enemies.  In most world diplomacy there are courteous dinners and conversation but there always special/dark ops taken as an enemy.   So there are CIAs and KGB.

In a graduate studies, one of those who reported a middle official of a  regional bank funded by China, the student (also bearer of several graduate studies in UK and Australia) remarked that China is seeking to restore its " rightful place in the World History"  It sounded chilling to me but many of the things we have we owe to Chinese culture.

And because of this I studied Xi, its leader a cunning and intelligent leader.  He rose up the CCP ranks because of his goal of achieving the "China dream"  ie world dominance.  He was known to have eliminated his adversaries in political power by having them purged under the anti corruption campaign he started.  Xi has been known to endear himself to the military and is head of three powerful bodies in CCP.

China is on its way to dominate the world:

    1.  Through diplomacy by establishing relations with Europe (Italy)  US enemies (Iran) and Africa through
          loans and  joint project.

   2.  Economic -
       1.  loans through the regional bank it established.

       2.  The Belt and Road initiative
             Which stretches across China, Asia and Europe.  Part of this is Italy, and they established                              commercial relaltions for textile industries and other investment

      3.  By being the low cost manufacturer of the world and being part of the world supply chain.  Other
          countries seeing through this, having seen the  disruption under Covid19, and incentivizing return
          of manufacturing back to home country (as Japan)

        It is reported that China at the height of CoVid 19 established its own currency to end US dollar
       dominance. Since the price of oil has been to low $20s, the dominance of PetroDollars is likely to
       end soon and Yuan or Remnbi will be world dominant currency.   US owes China by way of US
       Treasury Notes in trillions. Overnight, the Chinese could dump these Treasuries and value of US
       Currency.  China is supposed to have cornered market for gold.

      It is reported that when stocks nosedived around the world, China bought into many strategic
      companies at Bargain Price

     4.  Technology -   China is into robotics,supercomputer, software and is into aerospace signalling its
          entry into space high tech.   China leads in 5g technology  And itno life sciences research as
         supervised by CCP  (this includes the corona virus and vaccine research)

    5. Military  -  China has been building aircraft carriers, missile equipped bases in the West Philippine sea.
        that threatens the US supremacy in the West pac.   And probably ending their dominance.  Likewise
        it is alleged that CCP is into bio warfare due to its ivolvement in the Wuhan Virus Labs (as investor
       and managers.

     Some of the officers wrote a book "Unrestricted Warfare) - an out of the box approach to warfare.
    as early as 1999.  The authors were:   Qiao Ling, and Wang Xiangsi.   When war transcends the original
    boundaries, it  called unretsricted warfare.  There is no single effective weapon now.  Maybe it is
    computer hacking or picture of American soldiers being dragged in streets of Mogadishu. This is like
    lesson in innovation -  out of the box thinking.  First there are no rules in innovation.  Qiao and Wang must
    have been decorated by Xi or CCP already

   Like China having control of face masks, PPE and ventilators.  Its all prepaid purchase now.  First come,
   highest bidder. And now they have a vaccine, in the very lab where it was studied (started - leaked)

    And now the Covid 19. China winning the World war without firing a shot.

   Many Fils may regard Chinese as lowly fellows, like they are magbobote or magtataho of yore.  But they
   are smart and cunning. Know thy enemies.

This post is aghast over continued publication of posts that are clearly in bad taste and disrespectful defamatory and libelous all against the law.  The the perpetrators do not seem to mind.

Involved are certain celebrities, certain Visayans, who say they are ashamed of president, certain quarters asking for Dutertes resignation, some posts wishing the president were dead, even photoshopping his face inside a coffin. Some seeing the world from a different perspective make their criticisms without understanding the bigger picture.   Some rants are valid but that it sows confusion and anarchy as a result ins against the law.  So mga netizens beware  (Does this apply to pro Duterte Trolls? as what Twitter did to suspend to numerous accounts containing same contents)

What are the laws being violated?


RA 11469 Bayanihan to Heal As One


1.   Republic Act 11469 or the Bayanihan to Heal as One which granted the President Emergency Powers to deal with the Covid 19 crisis:    Section 6g.

  "  Individuals or groups creating perpetrating or spreading false information regarding CoVid 19 on social media and other platforms, such information having no valid and beneficial effects on the population and are clearly geared to create chaos, panic anarchy, fear or confusion, and those participating in cyber incidents that make use or take advantage of current crisis to take advantage of the public through scams, pishing fraudulent emails, or other similar acts..."

   Senator Koko and Vico Sotto are subject to penalties for violating Section 6a - not following quarantine laws.   A group of lawyers who include Former VP Binay Tony Lavina are questioning acts of PNP chief Gamboa for imposition of certain rules of quarantine.  

Penalties are mos in jail and fine of P10,000 up to one million

Additional provisions include streamlining of purchasing policies, the 30 days condonation of penalties for loan amortization,  and similarly for rentals, easing passage of goods, use of private facilities for covid treatment and realignment of funds for Pantawid sa Pamilya Progam  (the P5,000 to P8,000 subsidy for low income households.   (So no use crying by middle class families and that is for 18 million families only...

2.   The cyber crime laws 10175 of 2012      Cybercrime protection act of 2012

3.  Revised penal acts on libel and defamation

Many quarters may invoke freedom of speech as experession embodied in the constitution but the  law is very specific on this emergency  situation.  Dont be surprised that under this law, NBI may call you or subpoena you for this case.  The Human Rights Lawyer may  not have this law very well..

Attys on Oral Defamation, LIbel and Slander

Section 7 states that in case of conflicts with other statues, the provision of this law shall prevail...

If your posts/publication or ranting is in violation of this provision, remove this now so that this is not a continuing act

With due respect to our current leaders leading the campaign/war vs coVid 19, allow us to give 2 cents worth of our comments.  We know that under the circumstances you have done your very best.   One of the lessons of history, is that we should learn from lessons of  the past and current events.  That we should have not forfeited our chances and opportunities to stay ahead should not be overemphasized.

We are ahead of Italy and USA in acting decisively when we knew that the threat of the pandemic was here hence the low numbers (or we do not know the real numbers once we test)  We can not fault every one else yet because the events are happening so fast.   The US, Italy and SK experience were almost simultaneous.

Let us just mention here the scenario planning  Scenario planning and Norman Schwarskopf who was well known to have  employed such tool.  Like MacArthur he believed in running a war  through the soldiers satisfied belly ie that the logistics train must accompany the  troops.  To build up the capability of the Allied Forces it took several months to bring together manpower and equipment that could strike the enemy hard.  The campaign had four parts  which should take 48 days to accomplish;  he did this in 38.  The USAF said that the air campaign to blind Saddam and destroy much of their capabilities should take 5 days. They did.

Norman S was known to require a logistics plans for each scenario even when he was just batallion or brigade commander.  Having a computerized checklist for each campaign down to slippers and toilet paper.
For Desert Storm, the only checklist they had was 3 x 5 index cards.  He promoted that man to a general for having done a good job.

For this covid 19, it is well understood that we did not have the luxury of planning and anticipating all contingencies and since the disease was world wide, the shortages of PPE and ventilators would come into play.

We should learn from this may be a 3 year plan would do:

     1.  Build up inventories of PPE, vaccine and medicine and critical equipment,  modifying procurement
          procedures

     2.  Build up teams of epidimiogists lists, or team similar to NDRRMC with protocols for diseease
          detection and reporting.  Command and control

         Define tasks of President, Sec of Health, other departments

          Pandemic commander/head

         Coordinating with PNP and other military personnel

    3.  Communication strategy:    procedures and equipment to front lines and implementors.

    4.  Lockdown procedures:

         1. Communication

        2.  Procedures:   barricades/non interference by other parties;   non stoppage food and medicine
            delivery

        3.  Testing, isolation and triage

         4.  Quarantine centers
 
        5.  Pandemic centers (hospitals private and public where the sick will be confined

        6.  Standards for lifting lockdown
