Astral projection allows a person’s consciousness to leave their body and move freely through the world, unbound by physical distance. In this state you retain your memories, personality and full awareness. You can observe anything and anyone, travel anywhere instantly, and cannot be harmed. You cannot be seen or heard by others, cannot touch or move anything, and cannot be perceived by other projectors. The body you leave behind remains alive and cared for, breathing but unresponsive, for the rest of its natural life. Once the body's natural life expires, so does your existence.

During Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency (2016–2022), the Philippine government launched a nationwide anti-drug campaign known as the “War on Drugs. Official police operations resulted in thousands of deaths to "clean up the streets. Support has been mixed. On 11 March 2025, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity linked to killings during the Philippine “War on Drugs". He was subsequently transferred to The Hague to face ICC proceedings as opposed to trying him in local Philippine courts. The ICC alleges that Duterte bears responsibility for murders committed between 2011 and 2019, covering both his time as Mayor of Davao City and as President.

In recent years, the floods in canal cities have become more frequent and severe because of sea-level rise, sinking ground, saltwater intrusion, and strong tides from the sea. The floods usually last only a short time (2-4 hours), but they can still damage buildings, disrupt daily life, and make it harder for people and tourists to move around the city. Climate adaptation means policies or physical changes designed to allow people and cities to "live with floods" rather than trying to prevent seawater intrusion at all costs. Methods include, but are not limited to, raising the ground level of public squares, waterproofing and elevating architectural structures, replanning urban spaces, and even establishing localized, decentralized drainage systems. Traditional flood defences are hard-engineering measures that try to keep water out, such as barriers, gates, dikes, and seawalls. The best-known example, in Venice, is the MOSE (Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico) system, a mobile barrier at the lagoon inlets, which has quickly protected the city in several high-tide events but is also criticized for cost, maintenance, and ecological impacts

Innovation policies are government measures designed to encourage new ideas, technologies, and business models, including but not limited to funding for research, grants, regulation changes, public procurement, tax breaks, and support for startups or universities. Large-scale public research programs are big and long-term projects funded and often coordinated by the state, universities, or public agencies. They usually focus on mission-driven goals like clean energy, vaccines, space, infrastructure, or AI safety. Tax incentives are tax reductions or exemptions meant to encourage investment in new businesses. Venture capital (VC) is money invested in early-stage companies that are high-risk but may grow very quickly, VC firms usually provide funding in exchange for equity, meaning they own part of the company.
