Don’t follow America

This is something that’s not frequently brought up in Philippine polite company, but I feel some of the reasons why corruption persists in the Philippines is because the Philippine elite tend to be more sympathetic to the colonisers than they are to the colonised. They’d do anything to make the colonisers happy at the expense of actually improving the nation without the colonisers’ intervention, but that would mean the Philippines allows itself to be colonised. The Philippines prefers to be under colonial rule, rather than putting any real effort into breaking away from it. If it did the latter, then that would mean it would’ve actually succeeded at what it wants to do.

You could argue that following Asian countries a lot like China or Vietnam wouldn’t be any better, but the thing here is that whenever the Philippines follows western countries like America the way it does it turns out to be counterintuitive or impractical for our sociopolitical conditions. I don’t think the Philippines has the infrastructure to support some of the thing America succeeds in popularising, that it would be far better for us to focus on something more practical and helpful for our nation. Rather than aspiring to work for say DC and Marvel (which I realised isn’t going to happen), it would be better to work on something that could easily put you out of poverty/unemployment.

As it is with sewing in my case, or call centres for my siblings. It’s not necessarily wrong to want to work in the entertainment industry, but the problem is not everybody’s well-suited for a career in music and/or acting. My siblings were trained in music, having sung in choirs before. But even if they take the time to make music, it’s not exactly as practical and conducive to earning this much money when compared to working at call centres. While call centres aren’t any better and lack the glamour the entertainment industry has, but it’s something people could easily have a shot at earning this much money.

While working abroad is nice, it’s not always feasible in other cases where it requires more schooling. Then we get to the threat of xenophobia elsewhere, where the locals don’t always warm up to immigrants. Many Filipinos do want a better life elsewhere, but if/when other countries either demand more schooling or where its locals will reject and distrust us immediately, then it would be wiser to improve the country’s wellbeing instead. If American ideals and policies turn out to be impractical for the Philippines, perhaps looking up to Asian countries more would be more beneficial.

Or at least might turn out to do a better job at addressing Philippine sociopolitical ills in the long run, I suspect if the Philippines were to embrace Confucianism and start insisting that its elite should have something of a good education, it may not be any better but it could at least resolve some problems persisting or recurring here. It seems some of our presidents were either entertainers themselves or are related to entertainers, be it Erap or Cory Aquino, whilst demanding politicians to be this well-educated would be just as elitist but it does hold them up to a higher standard.

Not to mention these Confucian scholar-officials had to go through a kind of filtering process known as imperial examinations where they have their abilities and knowledge tested, before they can start political careers which would actually help the Philippines if this country ever adopts this system. It should be noted that the whole imperial exam thing is based mostly on meritocracy, rather than nepotism and populism which largely characterise Philippine politics. Maybe not quite an outright improvement, but at least something more practical for this country.

If political nepotism doesn’t help the Philippines in the long run, perhaps some other political system might. The Philippines has a notorious habit of emulating America a lot, right down to imitating its sociopolitics since America also has a tendency towards political nepotism. While China might not be historically any better with its own politics, but I feel the Confucian preference for meritocracy might help the Philippines a lot. Maybe not entirely but at least one could finally minimise the problems recurring in the Philippines well enough, though it remains to be seen if the Philippines were to adopt Confucianism at all.

But that’s a start and a restart from emulating US politics a lot, which turn out to have bad consequences for the Philippines.

Video games for women

It’s not that they didn’t exist at all, they did exist before but they were more commonplace in Japan. Especially video games specifically made for female audiences in mind, kind of interesting to think that Japan is ahead of the west in this regard. Particularly when it comes to consistently having video games and comics specifically made for female audiences, which is something the west tries to do and has been catching up on this lately. Well I feel when it comes to the western world, until recently with the advent of casual games on both online websites and mobile devices, there weren’t a lot of video games specifically made for women and girls in mind.

So a good number of female gamers would either stick to gender-neutral games or be put up with sexist garbage for years, that it’s not surprising why the western video game industry has so much difficulty attracting a female audience until recently. I actually have thoughts of contributing characters and storylines to a video game that I’d want to work on in the future, but one that’s more in line with what more women are into narratively speaking. Something like mystery and romance when it comes to the reading side of things, these were there in video games before. But it would be nice to create a video game that leans on both to varying degrees.

Admittedly, this is based around superheroes but changed significantly to meet certain markets and demographics as well as my own changing ideas for it. Something like how many of the superheroes in this story are in fact police themselves, which is thematically similar to Alan Moore’s Top Ten. Except I think Top Ten’s too mired in superhero leitmotifs to even resemble crime fiction, which I suspect that despite his desire to present such a world he neither has much interest in crime fiction nor law enforcement and criminal cases to convey it convincingly. Not that he’s a bad writer, but that these sorts of things aren’t his strong suits.

To make it even less similar to Top Ten is to take it out of the superhero school and make more recipient to outside influences, not just more true crime and crime fiction, but also something like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, more nonfiction in general and so on, whatever they may be at present or in the future. That’s not to say I dislike superheroes as much as I feel Top Ten adheres much more to superhero school conventions, than it does to crime fiction proper which explains why it’s written the way it is. The fact that Alan Moore not only has read a lot of superheroes, but has written superhero stories for a long time that it shouldn’t be surprising why it turned out this way.

Even then this helps in establishing a strong identity for the game, as well as finding ways to make it reach out to different peoples. So I feel a superhero puzzle game would suit the theme of having superheroes as the police, it may not be the first superhero puzzle game as there were earlier ones before. Though primarily based around well-established brands like DC and Marvel at that, it could be said that there’s a precedent for this sort of thing. Not to mention, both mobile and puzzle games are popular with women, so a superhero puzzle game is just as likely to do very well with them.

As for the female character designs, sexualised female characters have fallen out of favour. No surprise why characters like Mortal Kombat’s Kitana and Mileena, as well as Street Fighter’s Cammy White dress more modestly than they used to. They have been criticised before and it’s only now that this aspect has been toned down or supplanted by something else instead, if both Capcom and Netherrealms Studio continued with the sexualised designs they’d be out of business by then. So they had to change to adapt to changing market preferences and tastes, that’s to be in step with the times.

When it comes to our own female characters, it would be nice to take cues from high fashion brands and the like to present female character designs that are more glamourous and stylish than sexualised, especially if some female gamers are uncomfortable with the latter. Sort of like how Disney Princesses are far more popular with women and girls, despite being idealised their character designs tend to be more glamourous than sexy. While the average DC/Marvel heroine is technically more agentic, this is often undermined by constant sexualisation.

Sort of like what Mileena, Cammy, Kitana and Sonya had for years, while the idea of a female martial artist is aspirational, the way they’ve been presented for a long time leaves much to be desired. Especially when it comes to women who aren’t comfortable with sexualised depictions, that it’s only now video games are beginning to pay attention to them more. This shouldn’t be surprising why the sexualised look fell out of favour in today’s gaming environment, it’s off-putting to other people and why it took time for the female gaming audience to rise in substantial numbers in the west.

Even if characters like Wonder Woman are technically/theoretically more agentic than Princess Aurora and Belle are, well at times I suppose, the way they’re presented seems more in line with popular men’s sex fantasies. This isn’t helped by that Wonder Woman sprung from the mind of somebody mired in BDSM, so it’s not hard to see why she carries such baggage like that. No surprise why more women are more comfortable identifying with Aurora and Belle than they do with Wonder Woman and Supergirl, the former two don’t appear in skimpy outfits that much. They also dress more stylishly, which’s appealing to more women.

The latter two have a history of appearing in skimpy outfits, though Supergirl now dresses more modestly these days (so far), but it’s not just that they’re skimpy they also have a lot in common with porn. It’s been long and frequently suspected that those working on superhero comics take cues from pornography, in some way or another, whether if it’s William Mouston subscribing to the softcore porn in his days, or how cartoonists do porn in their spare time. It’s no surprise why such themes and leitmotifs also occur in superhero comics, especially those coming from DC and Marvel.

This is finally getting better in today’s comics and video games, however small those steps are at times, is kind of praiseworthy. Then we get into the sort of stories women read, especially when we get to the storytelling side of things. Something like mystery and romance, since both do well with women a lot. Especially when it comes to the book side of things, that it would be nice to create a mobile game that leans into either one of these or even both. It’s already been done before to some extent, but it would be nice to inject bits and pieces of superhero storytelling to make it more distinctive. More immediately identifiable as its own.

It wouldn’t exactly attract a 100 percent female audience, but more than it would years ago (maybe except in Japan). But it should be noted that with the western video game market, it was something that catered to male customers a lot, far more than it did in Japan since the latter already had a substantial video game market for women earlier and longer, that it coloured the way video games were made and marketed to until now. It’s nearly about equal in America these days, though I think it would look different elsewhere. Maybe not exactly but you should get an idea of how far video gamers have come to near parity when it comes to gender composition, though this gets complicated by how some women don’t see themselves as gamers.

But this would mean that the number of female video gamers is larger than is officially counted, maybe not exactly near parity either, but larger than what the numbers tell. Though having more female game developers is nice, especially when it comes to creating something for other women in mind, that it would lead to something women would gravitate to and organically so. That and toning down the sexist advertising, which puts off women. I feel if there are women who are put off by idealised bodies, naked women and the like that it seems the naked female form isn’t quite as appealing to all people, especially if it risks putting them off from something.

Though this Redditor was referring to a comic book that someone gave to them, it does make sense why sexualised depictions of women are actually more off-putting than one realises or intended to. So we’re going to advertise this game, it shouldn’t have any of these portrayals because it would put off certain people and we’re trying to reach a broader audience here. Actually it shouldn’t have all of these portrayals either, so this is something video game companies are striving to do these days, the more they actively include different kinds of people in game development. It’s not perfect, but they’re getting there.

So it seems when it comes to creating something for women, we have to take their input into consideration that while I may not be able to speak for all women, common concerns include sexualisation, misogyny and the like. So we’re out to create a video game that includes/involves the things most women like, minimal or absent sexualisation of female characters, less sexualised violence against women and so on. Admittedly, humans may make mistakes so even this video game we could make wouldn’t be perfect either, but we’re getting there and we’re aiming to include women as part of our gaming audience and game development.

The video game industry has come a long way from where it was in the past, it’s still not entirely perfect but it’s something that’s doing its best to be inclusive to all walks of life as possible. This includes women and minorities.

Why is the Philippines the modern day Edom?

As Edom is descended from Esau, Esau being the man who forfeited his birthright for the world that the Philippines is practically no different in this regard. It has forfeited God in favour of the world that it is destined to serve its less Christian siblings (Malaysia and Indonesia, really one nation in reality) instead, I even think the Philippines will experience a drop in Christianity the more its people forsake God for real because they think Christianity’s not kind to the LGBT community when they start advocating for gay marriage to be legalised here, the Philippines has legalised divorce (one other thing God usually dislikes). So legalising gay marriage would be the logical next step in a few months from now, though one that further leads to secularising the Philippines a lot.

While Esau did go back to God, the same can’t be said of his descendants who ended up doing idolatry a lot. So this is also true for the Philippines because while Filipinos may not necessarily celebrate the pre-Christian deities, most of them have made idols out of other things so this makes the parallels between them and the Edomites all the more telling. Just as the Edomites were eventually assimilated into the cultures and communities of their enemies, so will the Philippines fall under China due to its repeated sinning and disobedience that no sooner or later it will be deeply sinicised. This is admittedly something that I wanted, but this would happen as a consequence of the Philippines’s own habitual sinning that it’s really going to be the case in a way.

The Philippines will come under China for its iniquity and disdain for God, its unbelief in God resulting in the consequence of becoming another Vietnam. Another country heavily influenced by China, but mostly because the Philippines is so unrepentant and blasphemous that it becomes a second Vietnam due to God’s indignation towards us. He will do anything to revoke western influence here, both because it’s mostly not good and also because we sin too much and reject his sound advice that we become hardened towards him as to warrant getting captured by China anyways. We often go against his word that we start losing faith in him, the Philippines is really becoming another backsliding nation the way Croatia, Czechia, Britain and Ireland are for years. But we’ll witness a rapid decline in Christianity, before getting conquered by China.

The Philippines might still be around in some form, but one that’s heavily sinicised due to our perpetual disobedience that we’re never going back to being a Christian-majority and westernised country again.

Philippines = Edom

While it’s not a nice thing to say, I feel like the Philippines is like a modern day Edom in the sense of forsaking God in favour of worldly gratification, sort of like what Esau did. Just as it was destinsed and prophesised for Jacob to have the upper hand over his brother, Indonesia will be given the upper hand over the Philippines but because the latter is backsliding a lot. Mired in LGBT and everything else that’s ungodly and unholy, the Philippines is on its way to becoming like Europe: a Christian past and a highly secularised future, but sped up for the Philippines. What took centuries for Europe to become secular will only take a few years for the Philippines to do the same, which means God’s judgement to this nation will come much sooner than expected.

The Philippines can’t go on like this, calling itself Christian but advocating the unholiest sins ever. I even prophesised that China will inevitably take over this country, so this is God’s comeuppance for what the Philippines wrought to itself. It’s in big trouble for condoning many things God despises like animal cruelty, child abuse, blasphemy (diyos ko, susmaryosep, ay sus), witchcraft, unbelief, LGBT, adultery, premarital sex, so on and so forth that the Chinese sword will never depart from Philippine homes. So the consequences will be long-lasting, the Philippines will actually be sinicised much faster than expected. But as a consequence of lying to itself that almost everything western will be revoked here in favour of something Chinese.

Like how Esau’s legacy got erased over time the more his descendants assimilated into other communities, whilst Jacob left a lasting legacy in not just Judaism and Palestine but also Christianity through Jesus. So Indonesia, being the Jacob nation, would live to see its culture intact well onto the future but Philippine culture will be deeply sinicised in such a short time in the future that it would be hard to believe that it was an American and Spanish colony before, so Filipinos are like the modern day Edomites. They forsook God’s blessing in favour of sinful gratification that inevitably they’ll assimilate into some other country’s culture, especially China’s, as a result of their collective sinning.

Immodesty

When it comes to Christianity and fashion/clothing, there’s a Bible verse stating that if a woman dresses like a prostitute, she has a deceiving and manipulative heart or something. As what this post suggests that sometimes what prostitutes dress isn’t always the stereotypical image people have in mind, given at some point in Milan prostitutes even wore white. Likewise among the Japanese, wearing tight clothing would be whorish enough. Among Muslims, something that’s skimpy (like short shorts) is whorish enough for them too.

I suspect if something like hanfu becomes so popularised and normalised in the Philippines that things like leggings and booty shorts become the province of prostitutes, the sort of women who’d wear something to seduce men with. While it’s possible to wear skimpy clothing without intending to seduce somebody, but if somebody dresses this way to attract attention then it sends a bad message to other people. Like as if you’re asking for this, that you get a lot of attention and perhaps too much attention.

It goes back to the Bible verse about women in seductive attire having a seductive attitude to boot, which the post suggests may not necessarily involve stereotypical prostitute fashion. To reiterate, to some people both skimpy and tight clothing would be whorish enough. If you don’t want to send the message of being seen as whorish to them, then don’t dress like this or that which goes in line with how dressing in such a way indicates loose morals on some level.

More warnings to the Philippines

I said before that God is going to judge the Philippines for its transgressions, especially in light of the fact that it proclaims itself to be East Asia’s only Christian majority country despite doing a lot to the contrary, that he’s going to revoke not only American influence to the Philippines but also allow China to conquer it the same way he made Babylon do the same to Judah for the same reason. I even think he’s going to revoke nearly all western influence in the Philippines in general, given how the Philippines scarcely acts like the Christian nation it purports itself to be.

So the Philippines is a nation of Esaus while Indonesia is a nation of Jacobs because the former has forfeited God’s promises and blessings in favour of worldly sins and the Devil, there are even Freemasons and Satanists in the Philippines. The latter will be blessed by God and will have even more practising Christians than the Philippines does, which means the Philippines has practically reaped the consequences of its sins and will be judged for what it has wrought onto itself. It’s not a nice thing to say, but the Philippines is heading in the same direction as Europe is.

Christian for a long time, then backsliding a lot as to warrant reaping the consequences of its own actions that God will allow Russia to take over all of it. Logically he’ll make China take over the Philippines for this country’s own backsliding, watch out if there’s going to be a spike in Philippine nonbelievers. They will constitute the majority of the younger generations, seeing Christianity as something only older people indulge in. They will pair their atheism/apostasy with their LGBT activism and polyamory, just like what Europe’s been doing for some time.

Eventually the Philippines legalises gay marriage due to peer pressure from the youth and becomes majority secular for the first time, not only to mention there’ll be more openly Satanic Philippine celebrities and media to come. If one can’t serve two masters at the same time, it would be this easy for the Philippines to end up openly serving the Devil himself. But that would mean the Philippines doesn’t fully trust God, which is why it’s heading for mass secularisation and unbelief.

No different from what Europe’s been going through in recent memory, all the more a reason for God to revoke western influence in the Philippines and have it under China for good. The Chinese sword will enter Philippine homes and stay there forever, the Philippines will forever be under the thumb of China as one of its allies and tributary states in the Asia-Pacific Union, alongside all of Oceania and East Asia (including Southeast Asia). English will no longer be spoken here, but rather Mandarin.

Filipinos will no longer celebrate American holidays, but rather Chinese ones and Chinese companies will replace American companies in the Philippines as well. The Philippines has gone drunk from America’s wine for too long and too often that God will revoke this friendship, he will make the Philippines deeply resent and hate America. The Philippines will no longer be America’s ally, but rather China when its economy tanks and agrees to come under China in some way. This is a word from the Lord to the Philippines, regarding its backsliding and why he’ll let China take over it anyways.

This is a word from the Lord to the Philippines, regarding its backsliding and why he’ll let China take over it anyways.

The Esau Country And The Jacob Country

If the Philippines is the Esau country and Indonesia is the Jacob country, just as God made Jacob the head over Esau and the one with a lasting legacy to boot, then he’ll make Indonesia the head over the Philippines in some way. Indonesia will be the one sending Christian missionaries to the Philippines, especially when the Philippines becomes majority-secular and then majority-Confucian and Taoist, that it’s like a role reversal of what it was like between the two before.

But this is because the Philippines constantly does worldly and Satanic things, despite proclaiming itself to be a Christian nation that God will revoke the Philippines’s western heritage and have it under China as a consequence of its continued sinning. So the Philippines becomes heavily influenced by China, not just culturally but also geopolitically where Philippine politicians not only undergo things similar to imperial exams, but are also more likely to be Confucian scholar-officials themselves.

The Philippines will mostly no longer celebrate American holidays, but rather Chinese ones a lot and it will be bilingual in both Tagalog and Mandarin, instead of English and Tagalog. Indonesia might emerge culturally unscathed, but the Philippines’s western heritage will be mostly erased and replaced by something Chinese instead. What’s the point of the Philippines calling itself a Christian nation, when it habitually condones the things God despises like LGBT, pornography, adultery (polyamory’s included in a way) and the like?

Seeing the Philippines constantly fails to act what it purports itself to be, that God will replace anything western in the Philippines with anything Chinese. The sinicisation of the Philippines will be fast and deep, very little will remain of its westernised past. This will be consigned to surviving Christian holidays and Christianity, maybe a few words but that’s all there are to them. Just as Jacob’s lineage and faith continues to the present day, so Indonesia’s culture will continue as it is today onto the future.

But the Philippines will lose its western heritage for good, replaced by almost everything and anything Chinese instead because it sins too much, because it does everything to the contrary. Sort of like how Esau’s descendants have been assimilated into other communities and cultures, this is what will happen to the Philippines because it has forfeited God in favour of the Devil and the world. So it reaps what it sows.

Filipinos, the modern day Edomites

Like I said, the Philippines is the Esau nation because it forfeited God in favour of sin and the world while Indonesia’s the Jacob country because God made Jacob the head over his brother. Esau did leave descendants, known as the Edomites, but over time they got assimilated into other nations and communities that little, if any, survives from their culture and language. Jacob’s own legacy persists to the present day, so it’s just as likely for Indonesian culture to continue as it is onto the future.

But the same can’t be said of the Philippines because for all its talk about itself as a Christian nation, it does everything to the contrary that God will revoke much of its westernised influence and past. So very little will continue from its westernised past, because it will be largely supplanted by a heavier Chinese influence instead. Just as God allowed Babylon to take over Judah for the latter’s own misdeeds, he will make China do the same to the Philippines for the same reason but it will never get out of China.

The Chinese sword will never depart from the Philippines, so the consequences of its actions will last into the future. The biggest one will be heavier, long-term sinicisation since there’s no point in the Philippines calling itself a Christian nation, when it does a lot to the contrary. Admittedly, this is something that I wanted as I feel the Philippines is too westernised for its own good. So what I want will happen, but mostly as a consequence of the Philippines living in habitual sin that its westernised culture will be supplanted by a sinicised one.

It’s never going to get out of China, whether geopolitically as part of the Asia-Pacific Union, or culturally when things like Taoism and Confucianism start to heavily influence the Philippines a lot. So the Philippines effectively becomes a second Vietnam, a heavily sinicised Southeast Asian country but because it sins too much that there’s no point in calling itself Christian when it’s anything but.

Pointless

I said before that it’s pointless for the Philippines to call itself a Christian nation, when it doesn’t do much to stop itself from sinning or at least putting any effort into doing so. It’s not that the Philippines or any Christian majority country will achieve sinless perfection, but a matter of learning to do the right thing and striving for it under God. The problem is that both Europe and the Philippines continue to sin constantly, never repenting in any way that God will allow their enemies (Russia and China) to take over them for good.

Just as God allowed Babylon to take over Judah for its sins, so will he let Russia take over all of Europe and Canada, or China to the Philippines for the same reason. In fact, God is looking forward to revoking American influence wherever it went because it’s mostly no good. I remember somewhere at 444ProphecyNews that America is currently the Devil’s headquarters that if this nation ever gets destroyed for good, then he’ll head somewhere else instead. Possibly Italy or some other country altogether.

So it’s just as pointless for America to purport itself to as a Christian nation when it doesn’t put much effort into stopping itself from sinning that no sooner or later, God will revoke much of its influence across the globe. The sword never departed from the house, so this consequence will last forever. Similar things can be said of the Philippines because it never bothers to put any effort in learning to do better, that China will take over it for it and it will never escape in any way.

I said that the Philippines like the modern day Edom because its culture got nearly wiped out when its people assimilated into other communities and kingdoms, whereas Jacob’s own lineage (despite their own faults) persist to the present day. If Indonesia is the Jacob nation, then its culture will continue as it is in the future but Philippine culture will no remain the same as it is today. Rather it will become heavily sinicised, with very little western influence that remains (mostly in the forms of surnames, holidays and religion).

So the Chinese sword will never depart from Philippine homes, the consequences will last into the future that the Philippines will always remain under China’s thumb whether if it likes it or not because it does everything bad and never bothers to stop itself from doing this. It never puts any effort into stopping itself, so it reaps what it sows and it will remain under China forever.
