How to write Tagalog in Jawi script :)) I am sure this is just a proposal. I don't know if it has been done before.
The author is a medical student from Indonesia. Really, these people amaze me.

More old art from 2023. This was a piece I made to express my feelings after leaving a toxic online friendship I had. She made me feel like I couldn't leave, but that I was the abusive one whose hurt was paranoid and unfounded.
Inspired by wayang kulit.

Nguyễn Thị Bình is a granddaughter of the Nationalist leader Phan Chu Trinh. She grew up in a land that had been under French rule since 1858. The country’s resources were plundered, & the people exploited as cheap labour & reduced to grinding poverty. So determined were the French to maintain their colonial hold at any cost, they collaborated in power-sharing with Japanese #fascist #occupiers who brought horror & starvation from 1940-1945.
Despite this, led by the #VietMinh Front, people of Vietnam triumphed in the #AugustRevolution of 1945 & the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam (DRV) was declared on September 2nd. Democratic elections took place in January 1946 but French troops, with the open support of the US & Britain, attacked the new Viet Minh administration in the south of the country & the #WarOfResistance against #France began.
Binh studied French at Lycée Sisowath in Cambodia & worked as a teacher during the #French #colonisation of Vietnam. She joined #VietnamCommunistParty in 1948. Upon joining, she immediately began work as a #grassroots #AntiColonial organiser. From 1945-1951, she took part in intellectual protest movements against French #colonists. She was arrested & jailed between 1951-1953 in #Saigon by the French #colonial authority in Vietnam. She was repeatedly interrogated under torture & sentenced to death but was reprieved & released in very poor health in 1954.
Upon release from prison, Binh went north to work in #Hanoi for the National #WomensUnion. Her job took her to many localities where she witnessed first-hand the impact of #colonialism & the French War on ordinary people & especially women & children.
1954 was a year of victory for the Vietnamese army. The defeated French were forced to sign the #GenevaAccords recognising the independence, sovereignty & unity of Vietnam. The country was temporarily split in two at the 17th parallel, with the French moving to the south from which they would withdraw, while the Viet Minh went to the north. A general election for the government of a united country was to follow within 2 years.
But it never happened. The #USA came centre stage to ensure that the Accords were never implemented. Driven by strategic interests in the region, it made sure that Vietnam stayed divided – preventing an election that would have swept Ho Chi Minh to power with 80% support, while bankrolling & controlling the reactionary #regime of Diem-Nhu south of the 17th parallel. This regime violently suppressed all opposition, executing of thousands of Viet Minh supporters & condemning hundreds of thousands to concentration camps and prisons.
In response, the NLF (for liberation of South Vietnam & unification) was formed in 1960. Nguyen Thi Chau Sa was assigned to the Foreign Affairs Section of its Re-unification Committee & given the name Nguyen Thi Binh (Peace). From 1962 onwards, her high-profile diplomatic work, took her across the world. She represented the aspirations of the people of Vietnam in every country & forum she visited, while the world’s strongest #imperialist power made all-out war on her small country.
During the #VietnamWar, she became a member of the #Vietcong Central Committee and a vice-chairperson of the South Vietnamese #WomensLiberation Association. In 1969 she was appointed foreign minister of the Provisional #Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam. A fluent French speaker, Bình played a major role in the #ParisPeaceAccords - an agreement that was supposed to end the war & restore peace in Vietnam.
She was expected to be replaced by a male Vietcong representative after preliminary talks, but became one of the group's most visible international public figures. During this time, she was famous for representing Vietnamese women with her elegant & gracious style, and was referred to by the media as "Madame Bình". She was also referred to as the "Viet Cong Queen" by Western media.
After the war, she was appointed Minister of Education of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam from 1982-1986; the first female minister ever in the history of Vietnam. Binh was a member of the Central Committee of Vietnam's Communist Party from 1987-1992. She was the Deputy Chair of the Party's Central Foreign Affairs Commission & Chair of the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs Committee. The National Assembly elected her twice to position of Vice President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the terms 1992–1997 & 1997–2002.
Bình has authored several op-eds, including a one on the state newspaper Nhân Dân in which she voiced concerns that the current personnel policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam have allowed some "incompetent and opportunistic" individuals to enter the party's apparatus. She also criticized the Party's focus on increasing membership at the expense of "quality."
From March 2009-2014, she served as a member of the support committee of #RussellTribunal on #Palestine.
Madame Bình became a source of inspiration & namesake for Madame Binh Graphics Collective, a #RadicalLeft all-women poster, printmaking, & street art collective based in NYC from 1970s-1980s.
Many Americans in the #AntiWar movement were proud to wear T-shirts printed with the portrait of "Madame Binh". By then, she had become a symbol for female soldiers of the legitimacy of Vietnam's efforts.Madame Bình has been awarded many prestigious awards & honours, including the Order of Ho Chi Minh & Resistance Order (First Class). In 2021, President of Vietnam Nguyễn Xuân Phúc awarded her the 75-year Party Membership Commemorative Medal.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, the Government of Vietnam commissioned the official portraits for 12 former foreign ministers from 1945-2020. Nguyễn Thị Bình was included among them as the only South Vietnamese foreign minister & the only woman.Ref: Nguyen Thi Binh". Northeastern Dictionary of Women's Biography (3rd ed.).

10 January 1973, negotiations broke down when #Kissinger demanded the release of all #AmericanPOWs in North Vietnam once a peace agreement was signed, but offered no guarantees about #VietCong prisoners being held in South Vietnam.
Thọ stated: "I cannot accept your proposal. I completely reject it".
Thọ wanted the release of all prisoners once a peace agreement was signed, which led Kissinger to say this was an unreasonable demand. Thọ, who had been tortured as a young man by the French colonial police for advocating Vietnamese independence, shouted:
"You have never been a prisoner. You don't understand suffering. It's unfair".Kissinger finally offered that the United States would use "maximum influence" to pressure the South Vietnamese government to release all Viet Cong prisoners within sixty days of a peace agreement being signed. On 23 January 1973, at 12:45 pm, Kissinger and Thọ signed the peace agreement.

Today is Rizal Day, a public holiday in the #Philippines 🇵🇭 honoring the martyrdom of national hero #JoséRizal. Rizal was executed on 30 December 1896 after being charged for sedition and rebellion against the Spanish colonial government.
As a simple token, here is a photo I took in 2017 of a historical marker installed by the Philippines’ national historical agency in Berlin at the site where Rizal stayed while writing his first novel, Noli Me Tangere.

Malaysia should withdraw its claims over the Spratly Islands that overlaps with the Philippines' claims, and fully support (which wouldn't be possible because of our disputes over the WPS/SCS) our case against China
In exchange, we in the Philippines will withdraw our claim over Sabah and give compensation for the permanent artificial features built by the Malaysians on those overlapping claims
Does this sound like a fair trade? :sagume_think:

I'm making more #Teochew #Chinese #preserved #SaltedLimes today. We use same method as our families overseas have used, for generations. The link below is similar to what I do. We have several jars of assorted fruit based salted preserves sitting in our backyard on our natural fermentation table.
We use salted limes & salted lemons & salted plums year round, to make traditional fermented hot/cold drinks & for cooking purposes.
Make your own:

Fueling up with #homemade #CharSui #BBQpork with #EggNoodles for #breakfast 😀
Heading out with Mom in an hour. I have to get our ISP/WIFI issues resolved & going into their office because telephone support hasn't helped resolve things.
I'll be walking around in nature with Mom after. May swing by some farm friend's homes, depending on how our day goes & how much traffic/road construction there is.#AsianMastodon #ChineseFood #AsianFood #Noodles #Soup #iLoveNoodles #Noodles #TootSEA #EthnicEats #CulturalFood #ChineseEats #TraditionalFood #POCfoods #AsianBreakfasts

Please boost. Thanks, in advance ❤️🙌❤️
For those new to following me here, here's the #speech I delivered in #solidarity with #Gaza #Palestine in #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland in front of #BCgovernment legislature buildings
I call out the #farce of self declared true #democratic states in my speech & how our #governments tell us there ain't enough funds to help citizens but they can find billions to fund #EthnicCleansing of Palestinians.

When bus driver Hue Sze Wei found out that service 173 that he operates will have a #bus featuring #artwork by #students with #IntellectualDisabilities, the 41-year-old was happy to hop on board with the initiative.
He is no stranger to the invasive stares & rude remarks that members of public sometimes have for those with intellectual #disabilities, as he has a son who attended a kindergarten for autistic children.

#MP3 #CDs are the best #compactdiscs :alice_wine:
They're like the 100-in-1 #pirated Game Boy cartridges of #music :sagume_think:
This is the shit I am #nostalgic about :akyuu_headphones:
I'm kinda surprised they still exist here in the #Philippines, but if there are pirated #DVDs and #Bluray being sold in the black market, why not MP3 CDs as well? :satrithink:

In 1960 Radio Singapore broadcast a series of Malay language lessons. I found two volumes of the textbooks that accompanied the broadcast in an used bookstore. I have scanned and put them on the Internet Archive.
