I prefer imperial units, not because I'm an imperialist, lol. They are the more traditional, naturalistic units for my cultural heritage whereas SI units are a reflection of white supremacy and western cultural imperialism.
Whiteness is all about erasing all previous cultures in favor of a homogeneous, euro-centric but indistinct culture. SI is supposed to be "the international standard" but it is controlled by European institutions! Europe is the not the head of the world.

Accountability Is Not a Presidential Favour by Lawson Akhigbe
The response by the President's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Cardinal John Onaiyekan's television interview reveals a troubling misunderstanding of constitutional democracy. It also exposes a growing tendency within this administration to confuse criticism with disloyalty and accountability with discourtesy.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/02/accountability-is-not-a-presidential-favour-by-lawson-akhigbe/

'...The mid-1970s marked a milestone in the #maturity of our democracy. #Parliament moved away from old #colonial definitions of who “belonged” and established a simple, #fair principle that has stood unchallenged for over 50 years: if you live here permanently, pay #taxes, and contribute to our community for a year, you earn a stake in the democracy.'Before 1975, voting was tied to #archaic #imperial rules requiring you to be a “#British subject.” The 1975 law scrapped this, recognising that long-term residents are a core part of the #Kiwi fabric. By targeting this five-decade-old consensus, NZ First isn’t protecting tradition; they are actively rolling the clock back half a century to shrink our voter base to their advantage. '

"Hocus Pocus" is a song by the Dutch rock band #Focus, written by keyboardist, flutist, and vocalist #ThijsVanLeer and guitarist #JanAkkerman. It was recorded and released in 1971 as the opening track of their second studio album #MovingWaves. An edited version was released as a single (with "Janis" as the B-side) on the #Imperial, #Polydor and #BlueHorizon labels in Europe in 1971, but failed to chart in that year outside of the Netherlands (NL No. 9).

Japanese Business Leaders Pledge $3.4 Billion Worth Of Investments For The Philippines
The Philippines, which is already struggling with weak economic growth, high fuel prices and rapid inflation, got a boost thanks to Japanese business leaders who pledged investments worth $3.4 billion for the country, according to a news report by GMA News.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday secured stronger commitments for deeper economic integration during a high-level roundtable meeting with top Japanese business executives at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
In his meeting with leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions, Marcos bagged an aggregate investment commitment of $3.4 billion (approximately P210 billion) from participating Japanese corporations.
In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said these combined capital inflows are “projected to catalyze substantive macroeconomic benefits, expanding domestic industrial capacity and directly generating thousands of high-quality, specialized jobs for Filipinos.”
The PCO added that the infusion “underscores the resilience of the Philippine market, promising long-term economic dividends by fortifying local supply chains, upgrading tourism infrastructure, and accelerating technology transfers across critical growth sectors.”
The President is in Tokyo for a four-day state visit upon the invitation of the Japanese government.
In his remarks, Marcos said a robust Philippine-Japan economic corridor is critical and that laying the groundwork for an enhanced, unified partnership is essential to navigate global difficulties, build resilience, and sustain momentum.
“As we mark 70 years of the normalization of our diplomatic relations, we are no longer simply commemorating history. We are entering a new chapter – a chapter defined not only by friendship, but by deeper integration, shared growth, and a common belief in the future,” the President told the leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions.
He outlined a unified government approach spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).
“The Philippines is pursuing a clear national direction: building an economy where infrastructure, industry, finance, human capital, and connectivity move together as one system of growth,” Marcos said.
“Increasingly, we recognize that trade and tourism will be among the most important engines of that growth.”
He underscored the importance of stronger trade and tourism linkages, saying these are not supporting sectors but “core drivers of economic expansion in the Philippines moving forward.”
“This is a philosophy our two countries understand deeply,” the President said.
He also acknowledged the foundational contributions of several Japanese firms operating in the Philippines, such as All Nippon Airways, Toyota, Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni, Panasonic, and Fast Retailing.
He thanked these Japanese investors for their continued confidence in the Philippine economy and for helping create high-quality opportunities for Filipino workers and industries.
“You are no longer just investors in our economy. You are builders of it,” Marcos told the Japanese business leaders.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the $3.4 billion investment pledge by Japanese corporations will be a huge boost for the Philippines’ economy? Do you consider the ties of Japan and the Philippines healthy today?
