Ang Republika Federal sg Kabisay-an (The Federal Republic of the Visayas)

Historical Facts obviously omitted or deliberately hidden in our School History Books

*That Spain had already formally surrendered to the Federal Republic of the Visayas even before Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo was proclaimed Philippine President in Malolos, Bulacan on January 23, 1899. That our Independent Visayan Republic, had never been under the authority and jurisdiction of Aguinaldo's "Katagalogan" Republic in Luzon.

excerpted: "...A paper written by Jose Manuel Velmonte, a research associate at the UP Third World Studies Center, found that the Visayan revolutionary elites not only had sophisticated political ideas but also resented attempts by Malolos to assert its authority. A Tagalog military expedition sent by Malolos to Panay to assert its presence was met with hostility. The Luzon force led by Generals Ananias Diocno and Leandro Fullon was regarded by the Visayan revolutionaries, led by the Visayan supremo, Gen. Martin Delgado, as an ''invasion'' force ..."

According to Dr. Luis C.Dery, an eminent Filipino Scholar: "Expounding the extent of Aguinaldo's Philippine Army; the Bangsamoro nation's Mindanao, Sulu, and the rest of its islands never fell under Aguinaldo's politico-military control and sovereignty. In fact as late as August 1898 much of northern Luzon, southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao remained outside of the control of Aguinaldo's Republic. Thus, several military expeditions were sent to these places to bring' them to recognize the First Philippine Republic."

*That the 1898 Treaty of Paris preliminaries, should not have included territories of the sovereign "Visayan Nation"; the confederation of both the Central and Western Visayas Cantonal Governments by virtue of Spain's formal surrender prior to this U.S. and Spain treaty of peace (Paris) and the $20-million buy-out. Spain had no more legal rights to sell. In legal parlance "nemodat quod non habet” -meaning “you cannot give what is not yours”. It states that the purchase of a possession from someone who has no ownership right to it also denies the purchaser any ownership title.

This diplomatic "Faux pas" that was supposed to be officially consummated and became legal and internationally binding only on APRIL 11, 1899 should, or rather must be rectified.

*June 12, 1898 -Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine Independence from Spain in Kawit, Cavite --but never won the war against Spain, as explained in the infamous betrayal --the "Mock Battle of Manila of August 13, 1898".

*Nov. 6 & Dec. 23, 1898 -Spain formally surrendered to both; the Negros Republic that merged (Dec. 2, 1898) with the Federal Republic of the Visayas based in Iloilo (respectively)

excerpted: "...These two nations, from a purely legal point of view, are COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE UNTIL TODAY. This could imply that the Manila-based Tagalista-oriented Unitarian central government of the Philippines in the Visayas and Mindanao is an Occupational Government, that ultimately originated from an invalid Treaty of Paris...."

*July 4, 1946 -The United States of America granted Philippine Independence on a silver platter with strings attached.

Ergo! we won our battle-scarred freedom and legitimate independence and became a sovereign nation. The "First" Republic in the whole of Asia, but was nipped-in-the bud by the "ugly" Americans. A diplomatic faux pas, a political blunder and a travesty of history! --DinggolAranetaDivinagracia~~~

Post-2019 Senatorial Election Analysis

Post-2019 Senatorial Election Analysis

(By DinggolAranetaDivinagracia - IlonggoNationMovement)

“Of 61,843,750 voters, only 3,710,625 come from Classes A, B, and C - a measly 6%. This is where Otso Diretso votes largely come from. The remaining 94% chose those who are popular, those they know.” --dinggol.d~~~

INCUMBENCY, MACHINERY AND THE ENTRANCE OF POWERFUL NEW PLAYERS

Re-electionist senatorial candidates such as Cynthia Villar, Grace Poe, Pia Cayetano, Sonny Angara, Lito Lapid, Bong Revilla, Koko Pimentel, and Nancy Binay have existing projects nationwide and therefore, had more than six to nine years to campaign all over the Philippine archipelago. This, fortified with the ever powerful government campaign machinery, equals victory.

Tolentino ran the senatorial race last elections. He did not make it. Now, with the backing of this administration, he is No. 9 in the partial unofficial results of the recent senatorial canvass.

Remember, Risa Hontiveros took three (3) tries before she was finally elected into office as a senator in 2016 - three (3) attempts before the name Hontiveros seeped in the national psyche.

Imee Marcos is a class of her own - like cannabis if you know it. Her name is in the Filipino DNA. And in electoral contests where there are 12 seats available, that oval before that surname will inevitably get shaded in the ballot. Every Filipino knows Marcos - for better or for worse.

And then, we have two new powerful players, Bong Go and Bato de la Rosa, who are virtual shadows of the president and mounted a nationwide campaign the likes we have never seen before, at least a year before the official start of the campaign.

How can our voters resist huge tarpaulins, standees, cellular phones, rubber shoes, t-shirts, watches, basketball uniforms, groceries, health cards amounting to 20k, snacks, cash and every imaginable give-away China can effortlessly produce and supply?

There are only 12 slots. JV Ejercito and Jinggoy Estrada do not stand a chance.

Bam Aquino and Mar Roxas, who are not first-timers themselves in waging a senatorial campaign, unfortunately, were not able to cover all 81 provinces simply because local officials are scared to host Otso Diretso as they will surely earn the ire of Malacañang.

Of 61,843,750 voters, only 3,710,625 come from Classes A, B and C - a measly 6%. This is where Otso Diretso votes largely come from.

The remaining 94% chose those who are popular, those they know.

We were not cheated, my friends. We lost.

Hope is a dangerous thing. We thought we stood a chance as we were and still are trapped in an echo chamber so deafening we only hear ourselves.

So what do we do now?

We continue fighting. Because that is what fighters do. And hopefully, next time around we shall fight to win! ~~~
