Digital sovereignty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is hardly surprising that the DICT is struggling to get foreign-based social media platforms to comply with local regulations. Perhaps, this should be a prime topic in the ASEAN summit this month to produce a regional stand. A single nation trying to negotiate with a $1.4 trillion conglomerate has zero leverage. By aligning regulatory standards with regional neighbors – such as through an ASEAN-wide digital safety framework – their aggregated market size may matter. We are not alone. The Econ
Controlling social media (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There were two rather disturbing pieces of news last week. DICT urged Congress to require social media platforms to secure a congressional franchise. The other is that the government imposed an outright ban on a popular platform, only to have it lifted within hours.

It does not stop other countries from growing purple yams, branding them under Philippine heritage names and selling them globally. Apparently, the DA should have prioritized securing a Geographical Indication (GI) registry which is absolut
Our coal dilemma (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have a serious power supply problem that makes potential investors flee. That’s the same power supply problem that often makes us locals unreasonably suffer. Some of us believe we should just go solar and our problems will be over. Solar is free, free from geopolitical strains and makes us feel good to contribute to fighting climate change.
