Davao City – The world has undergone a massive and radical transformation: Whereas before the fight was on ground of territory, today the traditional geographical boundaries are shifting, the fights are now waged on other theaters, one of them is political beliefs, ideological leanings and inclinations and even one’s so-called religious faith.
Unsay buot ipasabot niini?
Alang nako, nagpasabot lamang kini nga ang karaang istilo kun modelo sa kanasuran sa pagresolba sa mga konflikto ug engagement dili na mamahimong solamenteng masaligan.
Karong panahona, gihagit ang mga lideres sa mga nasud nga admitahon nga nausab na ang atong kalibutan: Old walls are breaking down or in a state of collapse, for example the Iron Curtain in Europe, the so-called Cold War between the US and Russia, the old imperial czarist power has dissipated into smaller, independent states under what they initially called the Russian Federation, now they are returning to the basic nation-states, such as the fight for independence of Crimea, Ukraine and others.
Dinhi sa Asya, dili kita exempted: Kun kaniadto, America ang naghari-hari isip ‘global police,’ karon dili na: China and India are fast-emerging superpowers using their clear advantage in exemplary science and technology.
Ubos ning maong world scenario, asa kita mo-pwesto nga nasud-Pilipinas?
Husto ang independent foreign policy ni Pres. Rodrigo Duterte nga dili na pwedeng hangtud sa hangtud mamahimo lamang kitang sulogoon, piyon o saop lamang sa gamhanang Kano kun si Uncle Sam.
Karon nga panahon, angay bukas kita sa uban pang world market sama sa China diin kun ang tanang bilyones ka mga Tsino mopalit pa lamang sa atong mga produkto sa kaumahan sama sa atong garbo nga saging Philippine-made and Made in the Philippines, kulang pa ang atong ma-harvest sa tinood lang.
That is the bare reality in the world today and that is the way forward. Unless we realize this new paradigm, we shall be left behind in the march to progress similar to our sad fate when we were left behind by Vietnam and Thailand in rice production and food self-sufficiency.
Kun dili kini nato makorehian, malagmit maabtan gyud ta’s kanas-kanas.
