To start off, I just want you to know I support your cause. I have Chinese, Singaporeans, Hongkongers and Westerner friends that have different facts about what is happening in HK right now and I'd like to say that majority of the people I know is on your side. So for my questions:
-Are the police from HK or are they police/goons from China?
-When and what do you think will trigger them to stop using rubber bullets and shoot someone fatally instead?
-Knowing China and the communist party, what is the most realistic "victory" you guys can achieve?
-I've always imagined that fighting the police or the goons won't accomplish your goals. Have you watched V for Vendetta? I don't want to give out your plan but I just want to know, do you guys have a bigger goal to make your voice be "heard"?
-The media is starting their movement to portray your fight as "inspired by or brainwashed by the west". A good example, this same thing is happening in the PH when the media portrays Duterte as the bad guy while 80%+ of the people supports him. Weak-minded people are easily swayed by what they see in the media. Do you guys have a plan to fight this as well?

Good luck on your fight brother. Please inform your fellow fighters that people around the world supports you!

  1. From the 95% of the people I know from the PH understands that he is doing great as a president and that the media and the oligarchs are exaggerating his negative sides for their own gain. I have many live proof that majority of the people in the PH is happy on what their current government is doing

  5. Like a Pulse Asia survey  conducted last June, which showed that Duterte enjoys an approval rating of 88% and a trust rating of 87%, up from 80% and 82% back in January.

Note that these same media companies are the one portraying the president to be the worst dictator the world has ever seen so the result could be more.
For a guy being portrayed as the devil to still have that high approval and trust rating should tell you something

I also did a research on that and based on what I found from friends, colleagues and from the people there, I respectfully beg to disagree.

  1. Not delivering to the promise: Yes and No. It's a classic example of resolving one problem and uncovering bigger ones. If you take time to try answering the question "what good did Duterte do for smart, accomplished and educated people to appreciate his work?", you will see that he did a good job despite of having many obvious enemies that purposely slows him down.
  2. About selling the PH to China: Again, this for me is without basis. I guess the best thing I heard that proves this statement wrong is "Duterte made something out of nothing in the war against China". Previous leaders of PH either have War or nothing and looking at HK, their own people, I don't think China would be so nice if PH went to war against them. Also, one good example given to me is the construction of Casinos and those highways that caters to chinese gamblers and those stuffs were actually constructed years before Duterte came in. Don't get me wrong, I understand the bad side of Duterte especially how he doesn't think before he speaks. But people tend to not appreciate him because the Media has swayed them that this person is evil rather than focusing on what was done by the previous leaders, what he is currently doing and what he is trying to do.

One thing to note is that previously, the PH is under the mercy of the US for most of it's trades. You can maybe say that the PH has been sold to the US like what people say about PH being sold to China. Now, PH has ties with Russia and China and that makes a big statement. I am a big fan of "The Art of War" and for a small country like PH to gain this powerhouse feat, it's mind-blowingly impressive.
