‘Immigration, China:’ How Trump’s state of the union address might affect the Philippines

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">US President Donald Trump on January 30 (Wednesday Manila time) delivered his state of the union address to over 40 million Americans and millions more worldwide. As the leader of one of the world’s most powerful nation, his speech echoed as far as Asia to bring a message of a “more unified US.” Let’s try to look at how Trump’s message might affect the Philippines and even the millions of Filipinos living in their soil.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidxUeqMJI9eyQBaad-949I2ZLiLLJxASLyNQYMzay2PmFOhYEM9opVIhJp4U9SgsHYT3YBtvhotEHUEooHE8tewBu4Bfz7Z3M8Zkn20nGJAUK90sx11A_t2HYurwOAIpgxpIL5UiZajQTv/s1600/trump-address-2018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="US President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union Address" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidxUeqMJI9eyQBaad-949I2ZLiLLJxASLyNQYMzay2PmFOhYEM9opVIhJp4U9SgsHYT3YBtvhotEHUEooHE8tewBu4Bfz7Z3M8Zkn20nGJAUK90sx11A_t2HYurwOAIpgxpIL5UiZajQTv/s1600/trump-address-2018.jpg" title="US President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union Address" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">US President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union Address | Photo Courtesy: Twitter/VP Mike Pence</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><b>Immigration </b><br /><br />One of the most controversial reforms Trump is trying to pass is the RAISE (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment) Act. Under the bill, they would half the number of green cards issued in a way to reduce the number of legal immigration to the US.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />During Trump’s state of the union address, he made his intentions clear, “Under our plan, we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children. This vital reform is necessary, not just for our economy, but for our security, and our future.”<br /><br />Atty. Lou Tancinco, a Filipina who heads a U.S. immigration law office explained that the bill threatens up to 400,000 Filipino family members waiting to be petitioned to live in the US. <br /><br />"Almost 400,000 family members of Filipino descent waiting to be reunited with their US citizen petitioners will lose out on their opportunity to immigrate to the US,” she said.<br /><br />“Since the executive actions of Trump were released in January and February of this year (2017), the immigrants who are without legal status became more vulnerable, even those who do not have criminal cases," Atty. Tancino continued.<br /><br />As of 2015, the US Census Bureau recorded up to 3,898,739 Filipinos staying in the country. An estimate of about 310,000 Filipinos have been recorded to have entered the US illegally.<br /><br /><b>Ties with China and Russia</b><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZa1DPyNVdQa_3bo1DWZQxZconyRzYT4PEm6tOxL1NFUNp1u-Tj7XYp5KGgfi27Z_HpM9q4nwcU7BQ2gITi1BYgAP08Zyl9SvT9eA73o3EEH-IQ3yYSS0vnxZ-Sj7xoSnMbDMhCk0fL5S/s1600/duterte-china-xi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Duterte with Chinese President Xi Jinping" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZa1DPyNVdQa_3bo1DWZQxZconyRzYT4PEm6tOxL1NFUNp1u-Tj7XYp5KGgfi27Z_HpM9q4nwcU7BQ2gITi1BYgAP08Zyl9SvT9eA73o3EEH-IQ3yYSS0vnxZ-Sj7xoSnMbDMhCk0fL5S/s1600/duterte-china-xi.JPG" title="Duterte with Chinese President Xi Jinping" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Duterte with Chinese President Xi Jinping | Photo Courtesy: Facebook/ Presidential Communications</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Trump addressed China and Russia as “rivals that challenge our interests, our economy, and our values. In confronting these dangers, we know that weakness is the surest path to conflict, and unmatched power is the surest means of our defense.”<br /><br />He urged the Congress to “end the dangerous defence sequester and fully fund our great military.”<br /><br />This is significant as President Duterte had been supportive of the country being less dependent on the United States.

It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IrydklNpcFI" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />State weather bureau PAGASA on their website confirmed that the Total Lunar Eclipse will be visible in the Philippines.

A binocular or telescope will help magnify the view and will make the red coloration of the Moon brighter.<br /><br />Meanwhile, a Blue Moon will light the sky on January 31 at 9:27 PM (PST). Since the lunar cycle is 29 days and most months have 30-31 days, we eventually find a situation where a full moon occurs at the beginning and end of the same month.<br /><br />The phrase has nothing to do with the actual color of the moon, although a literal "blue moon" (the moon appearing with a tinge of blue) may occur in certain atmospheric conditions; e.g., when there are volcanic eruptions or when exceptionally large fires leave particles in the atmosphere.<br /><br />An astrologer Richard Nolle coined the term supermoon over 30 years ago, but now many in astronomy use it as well. Richard Nolle’s definition, a new moon or full moon has to come within about 361,000 kilometers (224,000 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and the Earth, in order to be considered a supermoon.<br /><br />On January 31 at 9:27 PM PST, full moon distance will be 360,199 km.<br /><br />Excited to watch the rare 'super blue blood moon'?

Solenn Heussaff dabbles on sharing tips on make-up, cooking and painting, and shares other fun videos that show a different side of her on her self-titled channel Solenn.ph. <br /><br />Bianca Gonzales-Intal, whose channel is inspired by her book “Paano Ba ‘To?,” presents a treasure chest for people who may need an advice or two. In her most-watched video moving on from a breakup with advice from Angelica Panganiban, Bianca has touched thousands of lives who needed to “move on”. According to Bianca, sharing life hacks brings her closer to people. “I think joining YouTube has helped me reach a different kind of audience,” Bianca said. “It’s a big deal for me that people who don't know me personally are willing to open up about their deepest fears and biggest worries.”<br /><br />Michelle Madrigal’s channel, Michelle, has the former Star Circle Quest finalist sharing workout tips for moms to help them get fit and feel good about themselves even without a gym membership.<br /><br />From tips to everyday glimpse, celebrities are also sharing more and more about themselves without scripts and directors.<br /><br />The Ms. Alex Gonzaga channel catches precious spontaneous moments from Alex’s camera, some of them shared with sister Toni. So spontaneous are they that Alex gets surprised to see clips she didn’t remember taking. Alex considers receiving comments like ‘your videos made my day’ and ‘your videos are my stress reliever, thank you’ as one of the best compliments one can get as a celebrity. “I think with YouTube, people get to know me more and feel closer to me because I share what I do outside my showbiz career,” said Alex.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kJeAsJXKIsU" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Celebrity moms are also making the most out of YouTube. <br /><br />Andi Manzano’s crazy, fun world with baby Olivia enjoys over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. Kylie Padilla’s baby Alas Joaquin also get an enormous amount of viewership on YouTube, along with one of the original YouTube tots, the Team Kramer kids. Cheska Garcia-Kramer shared that Team Kramer’s channel make them reachable to audiences, including children. “Sometimes, Scarlett, Kendra, and Gavin get surprised when other children would sit on their laps or join in their playtime. With YouTube, we get to interact with viewers every now and then on the comments section, and it makes them feel that they are a stone’s throw away from us.”<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/30JBgvCwh5Y" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KHsqMY0qA2M?list=PLeJNb0JkdeOKbFcOfUoNEA5By5yVglnEQ" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />And while Scarlet Snow Belo is a superstar on YouTube and other social media platforms, mom Vicki reveals she has other uses for YouTube. “I love how YouTube helps me when I look for information, and of course now that I have Scarlet, most of my searches are her favorite cartoons,” she said.<br /><br />From old timers to recently opened channels, different stars are doing their own thing over YouTube. <br /><br />Michael V’s channel, #BitoyStory, is just over a month old with four videos but already his subscribers are more than 100,000 and his views are over a million.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y47enAczO_8" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Mikael Daez, Xian Lim, Elissee Joson, Kristel Fulgar all have their own channels too, which they started way ahead of the pack, from 2011 to 2015.<br /><br />More and more celebrities are going on YouTube, and for good reason.

Under President Rodrigo Duterte’s “Build, Build, Build” program, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) was tasked to build an expressway that would connect the northern and southernmost part of Luzon.<br /><br />The Luzon Spine Expressway is a 1,040 km network that aims to build an additional 18 expressways with a total road length of 655 km. It would then connect to the existing 12 expressway network spanning 385 km. <br /><br />DPWH Secretary Mark Villar hopes that the new high standard highways will significantly ease the traffic and cut down travel time. Once the ambitious project is completed, the travel time from Metro Manila to San Fernando, La Union will be reduced from six (6) hours and 55 minutes to three (3) hours and 10 minutes. La Union to Bicol travel time will also be reduced from from 19 hours and 40 minutes to eight (8) hours and 15 minutes.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Included in the expressway network are the NLEX Harbor Link Project, Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway, Central Luzon Link Expressway, Plaridel By-Pass Road Phase II, Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, NLEX-SLEX Connector Road, among others.<br /><br />The NLEX Harbor Link Project is a 5.7 km expressway, which traverses Karuhatan in Valenzuela City, Governor Pascual Avenue in Malabon City, and C3 road in Caloocan City.<br /><br />The Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX) is a 30-km expressway, which runs through the municipalities of La Paz, Zaragosa, Aliaga, and Caalibangbangan, to connect Tarlac and Cabanatuan.<br /><br />The Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) 3rd section is a 25.83 km expressway which extends the existing 63.02 km alignment traversing Tarlac, Rosales and Urdaneta to Binalonan, Pozzurobio and La Union.<br /><br />The NLEX-SLEX Connector Road, an 8 km four lane expressway that will reduce travel time from NLEX to SLEX from 2 hours to only about 20 minutes.<br /><br />The Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, a 14.8 km, 6-lane expressway which will connect Balintawak in Quezon City to Buendia Makati. This will significantly ease traffic in EDSA especially during peak hours.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEksnZst4SH-6Bth4jKzulh1D_dwFj21C8SsxnxUVhqa4KP4adBJPOAXomC61E5IF1bhgx7Phr7yXDcIdM7xnhzm3uk2GOqmzDfA-c1aVQyhryEqeQHMqP691qrrBoSqzhDWzsCjmZLwtd/s1600/duterte-mark-villar-infra.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Duterte’s Build, Build, Build infrastructure program" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="658" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEksnZst4SH-6Bth4jKzulh1D_dwFj21C8SsxnxUVhqa4KP4adBJPOAXomC61E5IF1bhgx7Phr7yXDcIdM7xnhzm3uk2GOqmzDfA-c1aVQyhryEqeQHMqP691qrrBoSqzhDWzsCjmZLwtd/s1600/duterte-mark-villar-infra.JPG" title="Duterte’s Build, Build, Build infrastructure program" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The project is part of Duterte’s Build, Build, Build infrastructure program | Photo Courtesy: Facebook/ Mark Villar</td></tr></tbody></table><br />In the next six years, Sec.
