The Strange Timing of Wena Guanzon’s Incident with a Chinese National at the Powerplant Mall
I saw a Post of “Sir Jack Argota” a couple of Days ago where he said something in the Effect of that maybe it would be better for the Philippines to be occupied by China if it means Progress for our Country, and I was supposed to write a Post supporting that.
Jack’s Sentiment had come after Days where China’s Donation of the Bucana Bridge had been prominently highlighted on Social Media and thus earned a lot of “Pogi” or favorable “Points” for China.
But then suddenly, Videos of Rowena Guanzon arguing with what was later reported as a “Chinese National” exploded all over Social Media. Wena said that she just coughed, and that the Chinese National insulted her over it.
The Chinese National on the other Hand said that she intentionally coughed on them, prompting him to respond. And just like that, like it or not, intentional or not, this served to put sort of a Blanket on all that Good Will that China generated recently as the Anti-China Forces within the Philippines are sure to exploit this as a Chinese Aggressor going out and insulting a Filipino right in our own Soil.
Frankly I smell this as some sort of a Psychological Operation (PsyOps) by an insecure United States (US) and their Filipino Dogs designed to destroy whatever Headway China has made recently in the Philippines.
Now I’m not saying that Wena was Part of that Operation since she is known to be very much Anti-China also, but I think she was just goaded into that Incident, knowing her Temper.
The Videos that are being shown was when Wena and the Chinese were already arguing, it doesn’t show how the Argument started. The Close Circuit Television (CCTV) at the Powerplant Mall might be able to show that, it would be interesting to see it.
I also want to know who that Chinese National was, what “Kind” of a Chinese is he. If he’s not from China, then I think China should look into this Guy, and bar him from entering their Country. If he is from China, then they should reprimand him for his Actions here in the Philippines.
If no Information is revealed anymore about that Chinese National, then I think that is one Sign that this indeed was a PsyOps as they would be hiding his Identity and burying his Tracks. This is the Kind of B.S. Manipulation that we here in the Philippines are subjected to every Day, just so the US can continue to lord over us.

On the Issue of People being reminded about some of the Political Stances of Leni Robredo that was favorable to the Dutertes, all I can say is that I am very glad that she got rid of the Sympathizers and Legal Fronts of the CPP-NPA-NDF from her Staff. Frankly I wouldn’t mind seeing her in Sara Duterte’s Camp, just like Ma’am Rowena Guanzon did …
Maria Rowena Amelia Villena Guanzon is a Filipina lawyer, public servant, and politician who served as the commissioner of the Philippine Commission on Elections under President Benigno Aquino III and President Rodrigo Duterte from 2015 to 2022. Before she was appointed by the late former president Aquino at the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in February 2015, she previously worked as a Commission on Audit (COA) commissioner from 2013 to 2015.
Guanzon served as mayor of Cadiz City in Negros Occidental from 1986 until 1992. She also served as chief of staff to Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago, whom she greatly admires.
Guanzon was born on August 29, 1957, into the prominent Guanzon family of Negros Occidental, which is known for its sugarcane plantation. Sixto Guanzon, a retired Regional Trial Court judge, is her father, and Elvira Villena Guanzon, a lawyer and former Cadiz City vice-mayor, is her mother.
Guanzon went to Dumaguete's Silliman University High School. She then studied economics at the University of the Philippines Diliman before going on to the University of the Philippines College of Law to acquire her law degree, graduating in the top ten of her class and receiving a dean's medal.
Guanzon also has a master's degree in public administration from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, where she was a class marshal and an Edward S. Mason fellow.
Guanzon was named mayor of Cadiz City, Negros Occidental in 1986 by the Provisional Government of the Philippines, which was founded following the People Power Revolution of 1986, which overthrew the Marcos administration and forced Ferdinand Marcos into exile.
Guanzon became the Philippines' youngest mayor when he was appointed at the age of 28. After several other candidates declined to run for mayor of Cadiz, fearing retribution from local strongman Armando Gustilo, who had played a crucial part in the Escalante massacre just months before, in September 1985, she was selected. She had to carry firearms for protection due to persistent harassment by Gustilo and his supporters, even during social occasions and public events.
The provisional government quickly proposed a new constitution, and its passage in February 1986 meant that, beginning with the 1988 Philippine elections, appointed local government officials would be replaced by elected officials. Guanzon ran for and won the office of Cadiz City mayor, which she had been assigned to.
She was mayor until 1992, when her term came to an end.
Guanzon was also a professor at the University of the Philippines College of Law in UP Diliman, where she taught Election Law and Local Government.
She was appointed to the Commission on Audit (COA) on March 8, 2013, vowing to "give attention to gender and development" upon her appointment. Chairperson Ma was the COA commissioner at the time. Commissioners Gracia M. Pulido Tan and Heidi L. Mendoza, as well as Guanzon's appointment to the third seat, made the COA an all-female agency.
Guanzon was appointed to the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) on April 28, 2015, for a seven-year term that would end in February 2022.
Guanzon is well known for presiding over the disqualification case brought against presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos, which was raffled for the first division in 2022. Guanzon publicly identified fellow commissioner Aimee Ferolino as "the one postponing the verdict in favor of Marcos" just days before stepping down. Guanzon stated that Ferolino was deliberately delaying her decision on the disqualification issue in order to prevent Guanzon's vote from being tallied due to her impending retirement. Guanzon openly expressed his displeasure with Ferolino, claiming that the case was being hampered by a "influential senator." In the meantime, Ferolino criticized Guanzon for "mind conditioning" the public against her, insisting that "she needed more time." After Guanzon's retirement, the first division resolved to dismiss the petition in favor of Marcos.
Guanzon is also an author of law books. Her publications include Issues and Problems in the Enforcement of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, Philippine Law Journal (Dec 2008); Constitutional Challenges to the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, Journal of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (March 2009); The Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act: Issues and Problems, Journal of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines; and Legal and Conceptual Framework of Battered Woman Syndrome as a Defense, Philippine Law Journal (Vol. 86, No. 1 December 2011).
Guanzon's work, The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act Notes and Cases, was released by the University of the Philippines Law Center in 2014. Guanzon is currently writing textbooks on The Local Government Code for the University of the Philippines and The Auditing Code of the Philippines Casebook.
The retired COMELEC commissioner grew up to be a strong lady thanks to her courageous and patriotic parents.
Guanzon left a statement in her speech to UP students four years ago that she seems to remember to this day. She expressed her desire that it will become the battlecry of all Filipinos. “Do not let history pass you by,” the message went. “Do your part. Speak out. Stand for what is right and just.”
