10. Taiwan may be invaded by China, some day

and the Philippines may be impacted by that event. This is a possible event that the Filipinos can't control and certainly did not choose. On the other hand, here's what I know for sure: A plurality of Americans voted on election day for Donald Trump, and he will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Jan. 20, 2025.

I'd rather be here than there.

And keep in mind, that there won't be a safe place in the world once Trump is President. Not South America, Africa, Southeast Asia and certainly not Europe. Just like Hitler, the world was not safe anywhere, but it was far worse in Germany.
