In this blog, I'll try to explain in a simple language the current West Philippine Sea tension started. I do hope I get the facts right. I will show the various reference points and their timeline as sources of the tension. The map below shows the overlapping claim of the Philippines and China in the South China Sea. The red-broken line is China's claim while the yellow-dotted line is the Philippines' claim. Why did this happen? How did this happen? When did all of this start? What are the facts related to this situation? In 1947, Chinese geographer Yan Huairen drew a map of the South China sea. He named each rock and reef and collectively named them as South China Sea islands. That map had been obscure for a long time.  The idea surfaced again in 2009 when China presented a map, which is today's nine-dash line, to the United Nations during a territorial water dispute with Vietnam. That made the tension much clearer with us as it runs counter to our claim. On June 11, 1...

Local and international news agencies have reported the encroachment of Chinese ships last March 7, 2021, at the Julian Felipe Reef which is inside the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone. It was believed that the ships were suspected militia boats and not fishing vessels. The number of ships is about 200 plus. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/nation/781511/lorenzana-on-chinese-ships-in-julian-felipe-reef-we-are-ready-to-defend-national-sovereignty/story/ Samples of that news were posted by the following news agencies,  Rappler  and  Reuters  on their websites. If that is true, then China is encroaching on our territory. For us ordinary citizens, it is difficult to ascertain true facts about this because we can't go there and we are not privy to the Philippine military intelligence reports. We only read it on the news. I hope we are in good hands when it comes to the security of our borders. If we are to think in simple terms, setting aside geopolitics in the So...

Photo by  Daria Shevtsova  from  Pexels You can make your laptop run faster by replacing the hard-disk drive (HDD) with a solid-state drive (SSD). Just bring your laptop to a computer shop near you and have it done by their in-house technician.  That will melt away your frustration from waiting too long, and you can get your task done right away.  I have a laptop that loads slowly, but I had solved that when I asked a technician to install an SSD inside my laptop to replace the hard-disk drive. Before the installation, my laptop took so long to load. I wait like, forever, before I can use it. It is irritating and upsets my writing mood. I often say, "Ang bagal naman!"  Sometimes, I've already done other chores and my laptop is still loading. I can only say in frustration, "Anong petsa na?  There were moments that I wanted to throw my laptop and replace it with a new one. But buying a new one would be expensive and, besides, my current laptop has some y...
