Psalm 119:114
King James Version
114 Thou art my hiding place
and my shield:
I hope in thy word.
What makes the Philippines so strategic?
Why is she so valuable to many nations?
Here's what the HOLY SPIRIT led me to.
That map shows my country is the center, of the western Pacific, with China to its west; Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea to its north; Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand to its south-southwest.
We've survived three rulers:
-- The Spanish rule (1565–1898)
-- The American rule (1898–1946)
-- The Japanese rule (1941-1945)

We are a friendly nation, but no pushover.
America has always been a friend to us.
China has been bullying us for sometime now, as you can view from these videos:

Our population is highly-educated.
Our second language is American English.
We have the Philippine Deep, a "submarine trench".
We experience earthquakes for we are in the "Ring of Fire".
In fact, my city was devastated by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on 16 July 1990.
It created a 125-km long ground rupture, killing 1,621 people, mostly in Central Luzon, and in my Cordillera region.
We are in the tropics.
Hot and humid for most of it, except where I live up north, where we experience fog, rains, and strong typhoons.
Many countries have sought our natural resources.
They've sought our manpower, too.
We are a friend to the United States.
We are basically a Roman Catholic nation.
That accounts for at least 78% of the population.
That's why, soon as he became Vatican head, Pope Francis braved the storms down south, and said his "mass" among the faithful.
As born again, I'm part of the five to seven percent of Protestant religions.
Why is the Philippines "blessed"?
Perhaps, it's because our Commonwealth president, Manuel L. Quezon, welcomed over 1,200 Jewish refugees into our country in the late 1930s.
When no other country would, we did, fulfilling GOD's command we love His chosen people:
Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth
be blessed.
President Quezon even offered his own land for a Jewish settlement.
"Open Doors, a Holocaust memorial in Rishon LeZion, Israel, is a 7-metre-tall (23 ft) sculpture designed by Filipino artist Luis Lee Jr. It was erected in honor of Quezon and the Filipinos who saved over 1,200 Jews from Nazi Germany."

I'm safe, too, for GOD made me born again.
He made me born again "watchman", and "soldier".
GOD tasked me to write, warn, and wake people up.
He also tasked me to write about Israel, America, and president Trump, in that order.
As well as to write about CHRIST's enemy, that all may be aware.
And to warn you of the imminence of the Rapture.
It's really time to turn to the LORD now.
It's all PREPARATION now.
No amount of military force, or might, can save anyone from each other.
Only JESUS can.
Isaiah 9:6
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
