Senator Bongbong Marcos has replied via Twitter to my post on Why the Marcoses want Ferdinand buried a hero.
Someone told this to me and so I checked it out. Here is how the son of the late dictator replied to all the points I raised on why his father does not deserve to be buried a hero.
Among all the points I raised, Bongbong Marcos zoomed in on the windmills he had put up in Bangui, and then said he was going to push the exploration of deuterium in the Philippine or Mindanao deep.
He then denied he wanted to run for President.
Here is his complete Tweet in reaction to my post:
Now I have a problem with a Senator of the Republic not only pushing vigorously for deuterium but also advocating government funding to explore it.
It’s not because I’m anti-Science, but because in the past, the tantalizing possibilities of deuterium exploration in the Philippine Deep have been used as a scam to extract money from hapless Filipino investors, especially those working overseas.
Deuterium does exist BUT there is only one type of transport, as of now, able to use it as fuel – the space ships in Star Trek.
I’m not kidding.
Here is how this type of space ship uses it to travel at warp speed:

I know this will probably result in a lot of brickbats. But I’d like to propose that Senator Bongbong Marcos read an article below on deuterium written by Alan for South China Morning Post five years ago.
Alan was the Science and Environment editor of The Manila Chronicle. He set a new reportorial standard for science and environment reporting in the country, which won him numerous awards.
He thoroughly researched deuterium once upon a time, when another senator, Aquilino Pimentel Jr., also wanted the government to pick up the tab on deuterium exploration.
Here is one of his many articles on deuterium:

i get scared when politicians start denying alleged plans with a straight face.
“I don’t want my children to turn out like me.” Marcos.
This might be the real reason why Bongbong does not want to be a president.
if he really serious about Philippines ecological balance, why focus on AGRICULTURE. Not only help eliminate pollution in the environment, it could also help our farmers, increase food supply, and ease poverty in the country.
anak nga ‘to ng primera klaseng ilusyunada at kriminal at kawatan na ama! mga ganito rin kaya ang mga anak sa labas ni marcos? mahirap idescribe sa matinong adjective?
This guy is an idiot and probably bought his degree. I remember reading that he was charged for firearms possession in California? I really need to find that article or buy the book again.
The Philippines does not just possess wind, it also had sunlight and waves. How about research on those renewables? There’s even bio-diesel via the Malunggay oil.
It would be a nightmare if this idiot gets to become PResident. He will be just like his Kleptocrat of a father, without the intelligence. Philippines will become a corporate paradise and hell for the Filipinos.

er self too. judge and you will be judged.
so much negativity. there is no place for understanding if one does not know where and how to start understanding what other people are saying. simply put: Before one have said anything, he’s already been judge.
Do you know that his mother, Congresswoman Imelda Marcos, has set up a company to “mine” deuterium in the bottom of the Philippine deep?
So if you hear of an investment opportunity to tap deuterium, let me know.
Are you a scientist? I’d love to know.
Yes, I’m a chemist but I do not specialize in nuclear chemistry though i do have knowledge on the topic. I haven’t heard on Mrs. Marcos venturing into deuterium mining but I could search for it to get details. If I happen to come across with an article I would surely give it to you.
Yes, I am a chemist. However I do not specialize in nuclear chemistry but I have ample knowledge on the topic. I haven’t heard of Mrs. Marcos venturing into deuterium mining but I can do research on that to get more details. If I found an an article I would surely give it to you. Regards. :)
Please do.
@jov,@raissa,
my understanding is, PHL do have deuterium but not in a feasible quantity. otherwise, it already followed the Malampaya extraction(Natural gas). i wish i am wrong. sinong hindi matutuwa kung mayroon talaga tayong potential na makapag-produce niyan. pero bakit walang oil-giant o explorer na mag-venture?
Alan wrote an article before on this.
malaking kikitain nila d2 pag nagkataon happily ever after nga
kudos to your well researched and deep opinionated reports…
but im confused……
from time of prez aguinaldo to present day P-noy…..
they “look like” the same…..
so who will lead our pilipinas?
does it just solidify that we are really FAILED STATE?
how do we go from here?
maraming comments /marami matalinong pilipino / maraming mangmang / pero………..
dapat bang tangapin na lang nang karaniwang pilipino na ang mamuhay sa pilipinas ay “ganito lamang”
this is the “standard” of living here…
so ang tanong ko madam raissa……..
niloloko lang tayo ng mga leader at maraming nagpapaloko….maraming lumalaban…
pero nagbabayad ako ng tax na pinapasahod sa kanila…do FLIP-PINO deserve this?
Thanks for asking that.
That will be my next post :)
