Superpowers threaten our fragile freedomBy RICARDO SALUDOLast of 2 partsBEFORE the headline topic, a word on the diabolical PhilHealth scams stealing billions of pesos from poor patients unable to afford critically needed treatments. Plus: The Department of Justice should help promptly in filing criminal cases based on evidence now with PhilHealth lawyers. One way to justify American deployment is helping defend EEZs from China’s “nine-dash-line” claim over nearly all the South China Sea. And in 2022, the year before Philippine independence turns 125, our battle against criminal, extremist and superpower forces seeking to dominate our nation shall fuel what could be the most crucial elections in our history. We pray our people support the forces of freedom now battling those oppressive foreign powers.
