Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)

Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)

This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws. For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987. The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work". In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....

There are cases where clients keep asking for endless revisions without clear guidelines. For example, a writer on Upwork might be asked to write an article, but the client keeps changing their mind about the content, tone, and style, making it impossible for the writer to ever finish the project to the client's satisfaction. This not only wastes the freelancer's time but also affects their reputation if they can't meet the constantly changing demands.

In 1989, General Ye Fei led a delegation to visit the philippines at the invitation of the president of the philippine Senate. Before that, Ye Fei applied for a special request from the central government: he wanted to return to his hometown in the philippines to sweep the graves of his biological parents. Ye Fei was a mixed-blood. His father was a Fujian migrant and his mother was a native of the country. In 1914, Ye Fei was born in the philippines and also had a philippine birth certificate. However, at the age of five, Ye Fei was sent back to his hometown in Fujian by his father to receive traditional education and became a native of Fujian. After growing up, Ye Fei accepted the influence of Communism, embarked on the path of revolution, and made great contributions to the establishment of New China. When the central government received Ye Fei's request, they immediately supported him to go back to his hometown to sweep the tomb. Therefore, Ye Fei got on the plane with excitement and finally returned to the philippines after many years.
