Philippines Not 'Poking The Bear' in South China Sea, Says Marcos Jr.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the threat to his nation from China's sweeping claims in the South China Sea is growing but argued that his government's efforts to assert sovereignty over disputed areas aren't meant to start a conflict by "poking the bear."

US does not want the battle to be in the US Mainland, so it needed an area to face China, and that is Philippines, because it is also cheaper to rebuild. This video is US propaganda and it is sickening. I swear, if Philippines will be dragged in a battle and our family will die like the Ukrainians, US will have to face a swarm of rabid ANTI-US Filipinos because that would be a clear US' fault. And MARCOS name will be forever tarnished as a US puppet and an idi+t who BETRAYED his voters because he promised to take a neutral foreign policy, but he took a pro-US stance..

Indian Govt are good with foreign policy, but many Indian voters are too illiterate to understand a balance foreign policy, so it forces your government to pretend like they hate China so much, even if they know that Russia and China have longer border but they managed it very well and peacefully.

[@itch4travel]

WHO STARTED THE BULLYING? "“On April 8, 2012, a Philippine aircraft sighted a group of Chinese fishermen anchored in Scarborough Shoal. Manila, Beijing and Taipei all lay claim to this coral atoll, but at the time Manila exercised de facto control. Indeed, the Philippine Navy had often detained or expelled Chinese fishermen in the area. So on April 8, Manila dispatched its largest naval frigate (recently acquired from Washington) to disrupt what it viewed as illegal fishing. The Philippines’ BRP Gregorio del Pilar reached the shoal early on April 10. Armed sailors boarded and inspected the Chinese ships, but when the Filipinos disembarked to prepare to make arrests, the trawlers sent out a distress call to authorities in China’s Hainan province. Two unarmed China Marine Surveillance vessels happened to be on a routine patrol nearby. They quickly arrived and took position just outside the narrow mouth of Scarborough Shoal’s lagoon. As night fell, the two sides settled into an uneasy standoff. FOR FULL TEXT, GOOGLE "Before defending territory, you got to recover it first.' by Roberto Tiglao.

Apparently, Xi Jing Pin agreed to have Filipino fisherman conducts their business in the said shoal as long as Phil Govt will not renovate the Philippine Ship that was stranded at the disputed site. Once the ship will be destroyed, Philippines will vacate the area so that the Chinese Govt can build another man-Made Island in it!

I'm not exactly someone who root for PH President Bongbong Marcos, but I have to admit that what his administration pulled off was well played. To be honest, most of the credit also goes to all the Filipinos who showed Filipino hospitality overseas and to our tourists. This earned us a lot of friends and allies who stick around with us through the tough times. We will always love them like our own native neighbors. We also love China too and willing to resolve things democratically, but we are not going to bow down and allow the bullying to continue. We may not have the same military scale as China's, but war has no longer a place in the modern era. What's the point if a country wins a war if they'll be sanctioned by most of the countries and earn more enemies in the process?
