It is now confirmed that the Crew of the FA-50PH Fighting Eagle of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) were found inside the Aircraft, they didn't have time to eject whatever it was that happened to them. Remember that we have now lost two brand new and highly advanced Aircraft in Butuan, the other one was the very new Hermes 900 Drone back in 2022, and now this.

I initially thought that maybe they could've been shot down or something, but it now seems that they likely just crashed into the Mountain, which is almost 3 km tall. Makes me wonder though how could our finest Pilots, who have not only flown the FA-50PH in Real Life, but have also done a lot of Simulator Training on it on the PAF's FA-50PH Simulator, could still end up likely crashing like that.

The A-29B Super Tucano Aircraft and AW109AH Helicopters have been operating at Night for a good Number of Years now, and none has been lost so far, knock on Wood. But one Thing that those Aircraft have that the FA-50PH doesn't are Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) Cameras.

The FA-50PH in itself is Night-Capable, but of course having FLIRs would give it an added Margin of Safety. The Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) have integrated the Litening Targeting Pod which has FLIR in it with the FA-50, but only with the newer Models than the ones we bought.

I think that the PAF should acquire FLIRs and pay for the Integration of these into their FA-50PH so they can continue to do Night Operations with it with more Confidence …

DEVELOPING BREAKING NEWS: A Suspected Butuanon Loan Sharker attacking borrower's victim sparks outrage on camera in Agusan del Norte [#K5NewsFMExclusive]

BUTUAN, AGUSAN DEL NORTE -- In a distressing incident spreadly captured like wildfires on social media, an unidentified Butuanon female suspect, described as wearing a light pink t-shirt & green pants, has been implicated in a violent act against a borrower in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte. The incident took place at a local sari-sari store Monday (February 26th, 2024), causing an uproar among netizens online.

The graphic video, shared by a concerned individual named Ms. Jessim Oropo Dalen shown exclusively to 'K5 News FM', portrays the suspect confronting the borrower, who seems to be struggling to repay a loan either online or in-person via banks. The footage captures the suspect physically assaulting the victim in a public setting.

The clear description of the suspect, clad in a light pink t-shirt and green pants during this said incident, along with the violent nature of the assault, has unsettled the community and raised fears about the presence of loan sharks in the Agusan del Norte region. The risks rarely involved in illegal lending practices, which frequently involve coercion and aggression to ensure loan repayment on time, have been highlighted in this incident.

The case is being investigated by local authorities in Butuan, and they are incentivized for anyone who has relevant information to submit it thru the Butuan City Police Office (BCPO). The videos shared exclusively on Facebook (owned by Meta Platforms Inc.), have sparked widespread interest and criticism, leading to calls for justice for the victim and stricter measures against loan sharks. This also emphasizes the importance of financial literacy and responsible borrowing habits.

Efforts are underway to capture the suspect and ensure justice is later served as the investigation progresses, with a commitment to the safety and welfare of the community members being the top priority.

Updates on the investigation will soon to be provided between OneNETnews and K5 News FM as new details emerge.

Vacation 2023

  In August 2023, I planned to go on a short vacation to the Philippines by December, so the plan materialized.   As the days pass by, the excitement grows higher and higher.

So I'd like to talk a bit about the Filipino funeral gold scandal and how as someone writing an anti-colonial Filipino epic fantasy based heavily on early shaman lead rebellions against Spanish colonial rule I have some intense feelings about Filipino actress Beauty Gonzales flaunting wearing funerary death masks taken from a Large number of graves in surigao, butuan and mindinao and rather then treating them with appropriate respect or any kind of cultural ethics and instead turning them into fashion jewelry.

Aside from the damage to important archeological artifacts the utter disrespect shown to the dead who were interred in this way to ensure thier successful passage into the afterlife and to protect their bodies from the entry of evil spirits

For me it calls to mind when I was doing my primary sources research for Saints of Storm and Sorrow into the tree and boat burials of Luzon and reading the accounts of precolonial funerary practices by early Spanish friars and "naturalists" one of these documents was the memoir of Domingo Sanches who in a particularly horrifying account, noted how in the village he was staying in a young girl had died and he recorded how she was mourned and the great love and ceremony with which she was buried and how later that night he snuck back, dug up her grave and stole her body for research purposes. I remember he noted the great hostility of the natives when they discovered his theft and how he'd be unlikely able to return. I can't help being horrified at the thought of a Filipino actress adding to this horrible history of grave robbing and disrespecting the dead. To the colonialist mentality of taking spiritually important items and turning them into decorations. The level of disrespect is staggering. This is not the way to reconnect with our precolonial culture. I'm utterly horrified the more I look at this image and think about all the people who thought this was acceptable

my obsession for the past year or so is the discovery of this Mahapratisara Mantra Amulet found in Butuan, Agusan Del Sur. That in itself would've been impressive, but it's a modified version written to a local person (si Angai) and it has the modified Old Malay spellings that the Laguna Copperplate Inscription also features (pravarabisuddhe from Sanskrit pravaravisuddhe). This meant that it was written by someone (either a monk or a vajra master of maybe even a siddhi!) that lived and performed ritual/magical functions in the Philippines!

Even even more impressive in that Mahapratisara is only really prominent in Esoteric Buddhism (unlike the Theravadin/non-Esoteric Buddhism popular in mainland southeast asia) which is another point of evidence that at some point around 900AD, Southeast Asian Esoteric Buddhism flourished so much in Insular Southeast Asia that it reached even the fringes of Southeast Asia (the Philippines)!

other points of evidence are the Vajralasya statue (once known as the Golden Tara), the existence of Bathala (sanskrit bhattara) and Oinonsana (Vairocana/wairotsana), the 55 lbs. statue of seemingly Tara (the big female buddha prominent in esoteric buddhism).

esoteric buddhism might have been a bigger source of indianization flow to the philippines than pure shaivism (which, in truth, at around 900AD, would've been deeply connected with mantrayana buddhism through tantric innovation)

Just some old PH OCs I made a lifetime ago but never finished. I'm pretty sure I've never posted these, so I thought I'd share it here. These are Phili's older siblings, some of the more popular pre-colonial kingdoms that existed before Spanish colonization. Manila isn't here, but he looks similar to Tondo. Just younger and has a friendlier looking face.

^Tondo and Butuan

^Cebu and Sulu

Major players during the early years of Spanish colonization would be Tondo, Manila, and Cebu.

Tondo is my favorite due to various reasons, but especially because he's the main reason for the BruneixPh ship lol.

Compounding this issue is the scarcity of systematic excavations across the Philippines. With over 7,000 islands comprising our nation’s geography, conducting thorough archaeological explorations becomes a Herculean task, both logistically and financially. As a result, large swathes of our history remain untouched and unexplored.

Furthermore, there’s a tendency to favor grand historical narratives over the smaller, everyday discoveries that offer invaluable insights into past societies. This preference often stems from nationalist agendas, promoting a sanitized view of history that overlooks the nuances and complexities of our shared past. By neglecting these smaller finds, we risk distorting our understanding of the past and perpetuating narrow interpretations that fail to capture the full spectrum of human experience.

Take, for instance, the controversy surrounding the elusive Kalaga Putuan Crescent (KPC) – a purported kingdom located in what we now know as Butuan in Agusan del Norte. The mere mention of this kingdom has the potential to rewrite the narrative of pre-colonial Philippine history. A recent study delves into the depths of this “lost kingdom,” intertwining genetic and archaeological evidence in an impressive attempt to unveil the mysteries of precolonial Philippine culture.

This publication projects optimism, advocating for the power of scientific archaeology in the Philippines. Yet, amid the excitement, there’s a shadow of controversy, which highlights the need for more stringent, ethical research practices in archaeology to ensure our cultural artifacts are not misused or misrepresented.
