“If we used to use oil-powered machines to flow water from irrigation canals to your fields, now we power it with electricity from sunlight. Free electricity from the sun so we can provide free irrigation,” said Marcos Jr at the inauguration ceremony. “Certainly because of the construction of this solar-powered pump irrigation project, in your barangay there will be a continuous flow of water in the irrigation systems, crops will be well taken care of, your harvests will increase, double to the product.” 

The project is the first in the Philippines to be constructed over an irrigation canal, meaning that the land cultivated by farmers will not be reduced.

hws piri's human name is probably some combo of the typical english/bible first name and a spanish last name like look me in the eye and tell me John David Aguinaldo De los Reyes isn't the most Filipino name in this universe. Bro probably has Jan-Jan as his nickname 😭

Sent into battle to aid strangers in need

Gain independence, our forces will lead

Final solution when all others have failed

Liberation is coming our path has been laid

With the recent announcement that the Philippine Army's 4th Special Forces Company would be deployed to join the United Nation's Light Infantry Battalion for peacekeeping operations, I decided to commemorate the moment by remembering the first time the Philippines participated in a UN military operation.

Despite fighting an insurgency within its territory, the Philippines was one of the first countries to respond to the UN call for troops to aid South Korea during the Korean war. This force the Philippines would send would be known as the Philippine Expeditionary Forces to Korea (PEFTOK).

The first unit to arrive from the Philippines was the 10th Battalion Combat Team (BCT). Initially the unit was supposed to be an armored unit, with a company of Sherman tanks. However, these tanks were sent ahead of the battalion and, with UN forces trapped in the Pusan permeter and in desparate need for armor, US forces comandeered the tanks and promised the Philippines to replace them. Sadly, due to logistics issues, replacement Shermans never came. The unit did, however, recieve M24 Chaffee tanks, which would serve as the main armor for the unit for the entirity of its deployment.

The 10th BCT, due to its experience in counter-insurgency warfare, would be assigned to the rear lines of UN forces in order to hunt down enemy forces that remained in the rear. But later on they would be deployed to the front, attaching themselves to a US division.

During the battle of Yultong, the 10th BCT would distinguish themselves by holding the line despite impossible odds. Facing an entire enemy regiment on its own, and suddenly finding itslef outflanked on both sides, the 10th BCT managed to hold the line, never retreating despite the onslaught.
