5 facts why President Rodrigo Duterte will travel to Indonesia and meet Jokowi Widodo

After the ASEAN Summit in Vientiane, Laos, President Rodrigo Duterte is scheduled to travel to Indonesia in order to hope for a security and bilateral talks with Indonesian President Jokowi Widodo. The Philippine President will be headed to Jakarta, Indonesia before going home back to his official residence, which is in Davao City, Philippines. This will be the first trip of the Philippine leader independently to a foreign country in order to directly conduct bilateral talks with a head of state in a foreign land.<br />
<br />
The Philippines and Indonesia has a long history of an alliance since the ancient times. After the Second World War in 1945, both countries was one of the earliest member states responsible for forming ASEAN. Together with Malaysia, the three countries originally established MAPHILINDO (Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia) bilateral cooperation countries. These three nations were the key founding nations who established the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which is known today.<br />

President Duterte will bring a bag full of memories from his first foreign trip in Vientiane, Laos during the ASEAN meeting. He was able to meet with the head of states to his neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. These are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.<br />
<br />
Aside from the head of states from Southeast Asia, President Duterte was able to meet the head of states outside the Southeast Asian region. These are the from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Japan, China, South Korea, India, United Kingdom, Germany, and the United Nations Secretariat. The 8-bloc allegiance to the ASEAN member states discussed important issues affecting the ASEAN region such as the maritime dispute with the South China Sea in particular with the territorial claims.<br />
<br />
Aside from the maritime disputes, some participants attempted to ask Duterte with regards to his strategic plan on the war on anti-narcotics. But Duterte immediately closed the discussion because the main theme of the ASEAN summit should be more prioritized than dealing with the issue on the South China Sea. By the end of his speech, President Rodrigo Duterte publicly presented a historical photo of a Massacre in Sulu that was known as the Battle of Bud Dajo. President Duterte clarified that his stance on anti-narcotics war is efficient enough to bring peace to the country.<br />

<b><u>5 Reasonable facts why Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will visit Indonesia</u></b></div>
<br />
<b>1. Resolve the case of Mary Jane Veloso:</b> President will attempt to make an appeal to the Indonesian government with the situation of Mary Jane Veloso. She is set to be executed by the Indonesian authorities that can happen at this year. President Duterte will try to persuade the Indonesian government to delay or to totally reverse their decision with the case of Mary Jane Veloso, who was used as a mule for illegal trafficking of narcotics and other illegal substances.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Share his tactics with the crackdown against illegal narcotics:</b> Indonesia earlier implied that it is inspired by the position led by the Duterte administration with their crackdown on illegal substances such as narcotics. President Rodrigo Duterte will be talking with the Police Chief and the head of state to share his strategies to further improve Indonesia's crackdown on illegal substance use and trade. His vision will empower the skill and the knowledge of Indonesian authorities to respond efficiently to the issue of criminality as well as corrupt practices of the government.<br />
<br />
<b>3. The war against Abu Sayyaf: </b>The most notorious terrorist group in the Philippines abducted several Indonesian sailors, which they still use as bait for their criminal activities. President Jokowi Widodo is expected to coordinate with the Philippine government as the country is now in full force to permanently exterminate the bandits. Out of 7,500 troops in Sulu against only 400 to 500 armed bandits, the government hopes to neutralize all the bandits and will set the captives free. Indonesia hopes that Indonesian captives will be freed alive.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Maritime security: </b>Rodrigo may have downplayed his position with the maritime row against China because he is more concentrated on security the terror threats in the Celebes and Sulu Seas. These two seas are the most pirated seas in Asia due to the threat of Abu Sayyaf and other Islamist militants who are responsible for terrorizing ships, fishermen, and tourists in the area. With the fight against Abu Sayyaf, Duterte is also seeking for Indonesia's cooperation by using their naval forces to intensify across the Celebes and Sulu Seas.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Boost bilateral relationship: </b>The Philippines is one of the good partners of Indonesia in terms of both economic and political affairs. In terms of economic issues, trading relationships with regards to strengthening business developments between the two countries will be further enhanced. Jokowi Widodo knows that President Duterte is very different from the past administration, so he could learn more about Duterte, since Duterte is a veteran politician. Rodrigo Duterte is a politician in the Philippines for more than 30 years.

Mary Jane was found out carrying at least 2.6 kilograms of heroin inside her luggage as was revealed by the scanner machines in Indonesian airport. According to Indonesian laws, carrying large amounts of prohibited narcotics in Indonesia is punishable by death. In this case, Mary Jane Veloso is not spared from this situation because she violated the most sensitive laws of Indonesia.<br />
<br />
On her defense, Mary jane Veloso claims that she was only duped by her godsister. Mary Jane denies accusations that she is a trafficker because her godsister suddenly requested her to bring a luggage before proceeding to Indonesia. Out of her knowledge, the baggage contains prohibited items that have lead to her arrest and conviction of capital punishment. May Jane's life is now confronted with numerous misfortunes, now that she is now waiting for her execution by the Indonesian authorities.<br />
<br />
Mary Jane was convicted in October 2010. However, Former Indonesian President Bambang Yudhoyono enacted a new provision on capital punishment. Mary Jane Veloso was then spared from the execution along with other convicted felons for trafficking narcotics and other illegal substances in Indonesia.

<u><b>5 Facts about Mary Jane Veloso</b></u></div>

She was married at the age of 17 and had two children aged 6 and 12 respectively.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Mary Jane is a victim of human trafficking: </b>With the rise of tough anti-narcotics law, Mary Jane is one of the victims of this scenario. She has just been used as a mule to transport illegal substances that are prohibited in Indonesia when her god sister requested her to carry a baggage against her will before flying to Jakarta. Even without her knowledge, the law is always indicating every citizen that ignorance excuses no one. If you are innocent, you just have to prove it with legal documents before pleading your freedom against the accusations.<br />

<b>3.She was sparred three times from execution:</b> Mary Jane Veloso seems to have a guardian angel at her side because she is one of the lucky foreigners in Indonesia spared from execution. The first one was in January 2010, then, in January 2015, and finally in April 2015. Is this a pure coincidence? or just a pure luck for Mary Jane, which is rare for a convicted person to get away from the persecution of justice in Indonesia.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Mary Jane Veloso will be visited by President Rodrigo Duterte: </b>Lucky for her, Mary Jane Veloso is now going to have a face-to-face contact with the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. It is believed that the Philippine president will do the same for Mary Jane Veloso, seeking either a delay or a total acquittal of her case in Indonesia. However, President Duterte still respects Indonesian laws and will accept whatever fate that Mary Jane will soon have.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Prayers for Mary Jane: </b>A prayer is a factual issue that the Filipino must have to consider. Divine intervention is always powerful when you use it in the right way. Praying for Mary Jane's fate can bring any miracle to her life because divine intervention can spare her from being executed in Indonesia. Life will be unfair for her and her family because she is a victim of human trafficking due to the greed and corruptive minds of those who used her to transport illegal substances in Indonesia.<br />

But now, the style of the Philippines anti-narcotics campaign is slowly inspiring other communities. One of which is Indonesia. The Police Chief in Indonesia wants to adapt neighboring country, the Philippines on its style of waging war against illegal trade and use of prohibited substances to the community. Citing that a tougher law should be imposed so that dealers and users of illegal substances become afraid and will immediately stop its wrongdoing. In this way, criminal activities can significantly decrease in Indonesia, which is now happening in the Philippines.<br />

Indonesia's Chief of National Anti- Narcotics Agency Budi Waseso believes that Indonesia will also decrease the number of criminal activities across the country with this style. Waseso indicated that the trade of illegal narcotics is very rampant in both the Philippines and Indonesia. If the strategy is already efficient and effective in the Philippines, Indonesia can also do an effective job to its archipelago.<br />
<br />
Budi Waseso stated that "the life of a certain dealer is considered meaningless because he can always carry out mass fatalities". So how can we respect a person who is a repeat offender that continues to do similar offenses against the society in the future? Criminal offenders are responsible for committing grave offenses against the health, security, and the life of other individuals or groups. Therefore, tougher laws should be imposed to prevent similar incidents that can happen in the future.<br />
<br />
Indonesia is also condemned by other countries due to its tough law on traffickers of illegal narcotics in the country. The country is known to execute both local and foreigners who were caught with illegal substances, which is part of its law. However, there are still rampant cases of illegal narcotics use and trade across Indonesia, which remains a problem in the country. Following the Philippine style will be an efficient way for Indonesia to sweep all offenders combined with its existing legal provisions.<br />
<br />
President Rodrigo Duterte made a series of media attention across the Philippines due to its campaign against the use and trade of illegal substances. This is brought about by the rising numbers of executed individuals and public officials involved in the illegal narcotics trade across the country. However, most Filipinos agree with the campaign, citing that it is a significant strategy to decrease negative elements of the law.<br />
<br />
International agencies and organizations also condemned Rodrigo Duterte's campaign, citing that there are numerous lives that are now being affected. The idea with regards to the neutralization of offenders linked with illegal substance trade was claimed hideous and dangerous. They urge to stop the killings due to the violation of rights of offenders.<br />
<br />
The Commission of Human Rights is urging the Philippine government to consider the rights of offenders. There were individuals who were linked were actual innocent civilians who were misidentified by the authorities. Innocent lives were lost due to inefficient tracking of actual offenders that are now causing a controversy in both local and international organizations.<br />
<br />
After the ASEAN Summit in Vientianne, Laos, President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to arrive in Jakarta, Indonesia. President Duterte is expected to meet the Indonesian President as well as its Police officials to discuss the issue of Mary Jane Veloso, who is now indicted for execution in Indonesia. Both Indonesian and the Philippine officials will also discuss bilateral issues as part of its political and economic partnerships.<br />

<br />
Abu Sayyaf is a Jihadist rebel group in the Philippines. The bandits were concentrated in the island of Sulu, west of Mainland Mindanao. The terror group is regarded as one of the most impulsive, dangerous, and radical bandits in Southeast Asia. This group is known to abduct foreigners in order to generate a hefty income by requiring the relatives to pay millions of dollars. If the captives's relative fail to meet the demands of the bandits, they will be executed and the footage of the execution are usually published by the members of the group online.<br />
<br />
The bandits currently has at least between 400 to 500 fighters that are mostly concentrated in the island of Sulu. However, there are spill overs in other islands such as in Basilan and Tawi-Tawi to get away from the government authorities.<br />
<br />
The bandits also claims that there are other ISIS sympatizer groups in the mainland Mindanao who are willing to join forces with them. The Philippine National Police and the AFP are intensifying checkpoints across the country to prevent future attacks by the sympathizers. The public is warned by the Philippine government to be vigilant and report immediately any suspicious activities to prevent future attacks.<br />
<br />
After the ASEAN Summit, President Duterte, along with other cabinet members will fly to Indonesia. The president will initiate formal talks with Indonesian authorities including President Widodo with regards to the fate of Mary Jane Veloso.

<br />
President Rodrigo Duterte hopes that the Indonesian authorities will either delay or reverse the decision for Mary Jane Veloso's case.<br />

5 list of Islamist or ISIS-linked terrorist groups in the Philippines you should know

<br />
The Philippines has been known as one of the most diverse countries in the world. Inhabitants of the Philippines are mixed with Malay, Indons, and Aeta indigenous groups from the ancient times, and then Caucasians and Chinese infiltrated the Philippine archipelago in the modern times. In terms of religious perspective, the country is populated by the Christian majority while Islam is practiced in the island of Mindanao regions.<br />
<br />
Since the spread of Islam in Southeast Asian region began in the First Millenium, Arabs from the Middle East spread the word of Allah across the Maritime Southeast Asian archipelago. This is the place known today are Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, and Timor-Leste. The Philippines just became a Christianized when the Spaniards successfully colonized the country for at least 300 years. Spaniards installed numerous churches, basilicas, cathedrals, and chapels to every town across the Philippines. However, the Moro region in the Philippines resisted Spaniard's claims for centuries, preserving Islam as part of their culture.<br />

</tbody></table>
The Philippines is a sovereign country in the Southeast Asian region. It has a population of more than 100 million residents with at least 12 million Filipinos working abroad. The economy of the Philippines ranks as the 33rd largest in the world basing from the nominal Gross Domestic Product Report of International Monetary Fund. Although the economy of the country is flourishing, the reign of terror is a concern due to incessant bombings, kidnappings, and extortion that are concentrated in the remote parts of the Southern Philippines.<br />
<br />
The reign of insurgency started during the Cold War Era. When the communist societies initiated political disturbances in Arab states. Radicalism started to flourish in these nations as a way to propagate harm and violence. When Islamist radicalism took place, leaders started utilizing the word Jihad, which is a way to drive away intruders of their nations responsible for causing atrocities in their communities. Radicalism was propagated by the Rebel forces in every country across the Arab region, creating a religious distortion with regards to the real essence of Islam, which is a classical strategy used by terrorists in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
In the modern era, rebel forces used new ideological tactics as a way to strengthen their group against their authorities. Through generation to generation, these ideologies became rampant, being propagated by these rebel forces, allowing other leaders to create their faction groups, which utilizes religious principles as a tool to produce coercive strategies against groups, societies, and authorities. By the end of the 20th century, the next generation of rebel groups turned into terrorists, which distorted their belief that terror is the answer to their principles by creating a force for mass destruction. Terrorism was then born, affecting countries where Islam is being practiced, destroying the image of Muslims. <br />
<br />
<b><u>5 operating Islamist Terrorist groups in the Philippines that you should know </u></b><br />

<br />
<b>2. Jemaah Islamiyah: </b>This is the largest terror network in Southeast Asia. Some commanders are reportedly going in and out of the Philippines. Mindanao is the favorite spot for these members to seek refuge from the authorities of neighboring countries surrounding the Philippines.

Abdullah Maute and Omar Maute are the founders of the group, which were former members of MILF. Islamic fundamentalism and jihadism is the ideological principle of the group. Maute brothers are now recruiting minors as their future leaders to propagate atrocities and principles of mass destruction across Mindanao.<br />
<br />
*MILF, MNLF, and CPP-NPA NDF are currently in allegiance with the Philippine government due to several ongoing treaties initiated by the Philippine government. These groups are hopefully expected to gain peace pacts with the Philippine government to end civil unrest across the country.<br />

The meeting should have been taken place in Laos wherein both leaders will take advantage of their time to have a bilateral talks during the ASEAN summit.<br />

Obama was informed by his administrative aides who scooped Duterte's comments while they were attending a G20 (Group of 20 largest economies of the world) summit that was held in Hangzhou, China. After knowing about the comments towards him, Obama requested some of his officials to further conduct a further investigation on the issue. US President Barack Obama was expecting that the meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte should have been a moment where a productive as well as a constructive issue will be discussed between the two nations. However, the plan went otherwise between the two leaders.<br />

Barack Obama then moved on with the issue and decided to meet with South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Both Obana and Geun-hye will discuss issues with the latest missile tests conducted by the North Korea who just launched three ballistic missile tests near South Korean border. The latest missile testing conducted by North Korea indicates that the most isolated country in the world is still considered a security threat not only to Korea but to the whole of East Asian nations.<br />
<br />
President Rodrigo Duterte called out harsh words against Barack Obama during a press conference in Davao City before leaving the Philippines. Duterte lashed about Obama's concern with regards to his style of neutralizing criminals responsible for the use, distribution, and manufacturing illegal substances across the country. Duterte mentioned that his strategic response with his aim to cleanse the Philippine government should be out of context by international communities and they should wait until the Philippines will be free from crime after a few months more.<br />
<br />
During the ASEAN Summit in Laos, Duterte urges Barack Obama not to meddle with him against the extra-judicial killings in the Philippines. However, the United States aide of Barack Obama denies it, stating that the supposed meeting should have been a part of a formal bilateral talks between the two countries. The planned first meeting between the two presidents will talk more about political and economic issues because Philippines is a known ally of the United States.<br />
<br />
Rodrigo Duterte is known for his colorful remarks towards other leaders. They were Pope Francis and US ambassador to the Philippines Philip Goldberg. Duterte's furious words of wisdom was due to the questioning of his strategic response against traffickers in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
When President Duterte was running for president, one of his main missions is to eradicate traffickers and users of illegal drugs in the Philippines. When he won as the 15th president of the Republic of the Philippines, Duterte vows to execute even the last remaining traffickers in the country, making the Philippines one of the countries to have the lowest criminal rates in the world.<br />
<br />
Even if President Duterte will no longer meet with US President Barack Obama, he is still excited to meet other president who attended the ASEAN Summit in Vientiane, Laos. He hopes to make personal contacts with the head of states of his neighbors in Southeast Asia. Duterte is also hoping to have a meeting for Vladimir Putin in Laos if given a chance.<br />
<br />
After the ASEAN Summit, President Rodrigo Duterte will travel to Indonesia. He is expected to meet Mary Jane Veloso, who is now waiting for her execution in Indonesia after the authorities nabbed several trafficked substances at the airport in Indonesia. Duterte hopes that Mary Jane's case will be resolved, but will still respect the law and decision of Indonesia.

5 reasons why Congressman Alvarez plans to abolish Barangay and Youth Council

<br />
The Sangguniang Kabataan or youth council is an organization responsible for governing youth politics in the Philippines. The youth population of the Philippines is included in this jurisdiction where the SK leaders will be tasked to propose, implement, and ratify laws that they believe that it can bring a significance to the society. However, the efficiency of youth council in the Philippines are marked with numerous controversies, citing that there were numerous issues of unsolved corruption allegations of some youth leaders.<br />
<br />
House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez, who is currently elected as the Representative of the First District of Davao Del Norte is now urging both the congress and the senate to file for a new resolution to abolish the youth and barangay council members. The main reason is to further intensify campaigns against graft and corruption and proper public administration management. There are numerous complaints regarding the accuracy and effectivity of both Barangay and Youth councilors by citizens, groups, or organization due to the failure of tasks. This is a problem that has been already neglected for several years.<br />

</tbody></table>
As the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, Pantaleon Alvarez hopes that the abolishment of both the Barangay and Youth council members can improve the country's good governance. This is a continuation of Aquino's administration's advocacy to cleanse the government to ensure that corruption and anomalies will further deteriorate in the country. The Philippines has always been plagued with numerous cases of anomalous scandals by corrupt government officials.<br />
<br />
Barangay council is a governing body that operates within the barangay, which is regarded as the smallest administrative body of the Philippine government. A barangay is referred to as a district, which is one of the districts of a certain town or a city. This term can be also referred to as a village in a certain remote area of a town or a city. A barangay is composed of one captain and at least half a dozen of council members responsible for governing a certain chunk of the city of town of their jurisdiction.<br />
<br />
Youth council is a governing body that is focused on the youth population in the Philippines. This council is governed by elected youth officials aiming to coordinate and contribute with other government officials to empower the youth. In the Philippines, the youth council is locally known as the "Sangguniang Kabataan". Youth leaders are elected by winning the majority of the total number of votes. But sadly, both of Youth and Barangay council will soon be abolished as the government attempts to revitalize its governance to improve the political structure of the country.<br />
<br />
<b><u>5 reasons why Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez wants to abolish Barangay and Youth Council</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Intense Graft and Corruption: </b>Barangay council is also not exempted from numerous corruption allegations. Both captain and several barangay council members have been tagged by other officials for being involved in bribery allegations, coordination with syndicates, and involved with the illegal possession, use, and distribution of illegal substances. Youth council members are tagged in funds misuse, which makes it the first phase of practicing corruption.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Inefficiency in governance: </b>Numerous reported cases of inefficiencies were tagged against the members of both Barangay and Youth Council. Community initiation and participation were not observed properly. Mitigation of safety management is not properly ensured to secure the district or the barangay including the youth. There were only few barangay captains around the world who initiates new programs for the betterment of the barangay.<br />
<br />
<b>3.Saving more money for the government: </b>Every barangay and youth council votes, the Philippine government spends at least 8 billion in Philippine Peso currency. This will be one of the major advantages for abolishing the Barangay and Youth Council in order to save more funds for a future use of other emergent cases in the future. Several funds allocated for the barangay council can be used for other government agencies. This will be the same for Youth Council funds.<br />

<b>4. Decentralization of national government to push through with Federalism:</b> When the Philippines will transform its government into a decentralized Federalism, this means that the power of the national government will have lesser responsibility. Each region around the Philippines will be transformed into different states, having their own jurisdiction over their governance. However, it is more likely that the Youth Council is at risk for abolishment because they still have limited powers to participate with the government due to their age.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Revitalize the Philippine government:</b> The Philippines has been bombarded by poor governance from the past administrations. Eliminating Barangay and Youth Councill is just some of the plans to improve good governance for the betterment of the Philippine society. As part of President Rodrigo Duterte's campaign to improve the Philippine society, it is necessary to totally revitalize the nation in order to improve the image of both local and international communities.<br />

Chinese President Xi Jinping extends condolence to the victims of Davao City bombings

<br />
Chinese President Xi Jinping made a rare communication letter to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, extending his sincere apology to the victims of the Davao City blast. The letter was sent via an electronic mail to the Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines on September 4, 2016. The staff from the Office of the President of the Philippines welcomed the letter, which is a sign that there is a mutual interest to a certain social issue affecting a nation who has just been bombarded with terrorism.<br />
<br />
As based on the letter, the Chinese President, along with the other officials of the People's Republic of China were "shocked to learn of the terrorist explosion incident in Davao City, Philippines". In behalf of the Chinese government and the People's Republic with the president's name, President Xi Jinping expressed his condolence to the victims including the families of the recent Davao City bombings. This is probably the first time that the People's Republic of China expressed their sympathy towards the Philippines after a horrific incident that terrorized the whole country.<br />

Going through with the letter, Chinese president implies that China is "firmly opposed to terrorism in all forms." The Chinese government strongly oppose and condemn any violence including terrorist attacks targeting innocent lives. The People's Republic of China is always ready to work together with international communities including the Philippines to jointly combat terrorism and to maintain the global and regional peace and stability.<br />
<br />
The last statement of the letter indicates that the Chinese president would like Rodrigo Duterte to accept his deepest condolences with the assurances of his highest consideration. Of course, who are we to resist this rare opportunity that a head of state from other country initiated to extend their condolences to the affected individuals and families of Davao City bombings? This means that the People's Republic of China is also concerned with the recent shortcomings to the Philippines due to the threat of terrorism.<br />
<br />
The Office of the President announced the letter of condolence from China through the Office of the Presidential communications. China's expression of condolence to the Philippines shows an indicative sign that the relations between China and the Philippines are slowly improving, even if the two countries have different point of views regarding the issue of South China Sea. As based on the statement, China is ready to work together with the international community to jointly combat terrorism.<br />

<br />
The letter indicates that Duterte can seek assistance from China to combat terrorism, especially that there are several groups that are responsible for the recent terror attacks in the Philippines. These are mainly the Abu Sayyaf bandits, Maute group, and other sympathizers of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). Most Islamist Jihadist groups are concentrated in the island of Mindanao, sparking security threats across the country.<br />
<br />
Davao City was rocked by an explosion on the evening of September 2, 2016. There were at least 14 lives that were lost and more than 70 individuals injured. Abu Sayyaf is now blamed for the explosion in Roxas night market in Davao City. However, due to politicking, the issue in Davao City bombing is used to create a tirade against the capabilities of the Philippine government to contain the situation in Davao and other parts of the Philippines.<br />
<br />
President Rodrigo Duterte announced a state of lawlessness in order to deploy police and armed forces across the Philippines. This is to prevent future atrocities initiated by terrorist groups haunting communities and urban areas across the country. Checkpoints are now deployed to screen all motorists along the road as well as to all ports and terminals across the country.<br />
<br />
Since Abu Sayyaf was responsible for publicizing their mode of execution that intimidates the public, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the Abu Sayyaf to neutralize the bandits. The group has a strong 400 to 500 members responsible for kidnappings and executing their captives whenever a ransom was never settled.
