The Deafening Silence: Why No Protests Outside Chinese Embassy in Manila?

In a country where activists and career protesters are known for making their voices heard on various issues, the conspicuous absence of protests outside the Chinese Embassy in Manila regarding the West Philippine Sea issue raises important questions.

If you love reading fiction, chances are, you heard the book “The Charismatic Charlie Wade” (also called “The Amazing Son In Law). If you plan on reading this book, read this article first and you’ll thank me later. I discovered this book promoted on Facebook.

There are two uploads on Wattpad - one has more than 5,000 chapters (I don’t know if this is complete), and the other one is ongoing.
