What an interesting dialogue from US and Philippines. See a world class pretenders of appearing noble but with so clear ill intention of ganging up to justify their self ego at the expense of their own country people lives and living standards.

Chinese are illegal in WPS. It is Philippines teritorial water bound by Washington Treaty.

The dialogue has been a huge success. It's so obvious that PAP is the only competent and effective party in s'pore.❤❤

*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including the Philippines 🇵🇭,
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.

Seriously, to gain some respect from other countries, the Chinese government needs to *stop its lies.*

Isn’t it better if First Lady Liza should not be with the president during state visits to other countries?
Isn’t it known all over the world what she is doing to our country?
Isn’t she not aware that she is not supposed to interfere with the affairs of the government of this country?
Just sharing my thoughts.

Anybody remember Bongbong's father?

Bong Bong: (The future of the Asia-Pacific is in the hands of the region)
In an exclusive interview with Wang Guan, Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. said the 👉foundations of China-Philippines relationship are solid and will continue to be built. The two countries are good friends that can maneuver through various constraints and find a mutually beneficial way to solve disputes.
Exclusive with Philippines president: We won't be drawn back into old Cold War formula
the 👉future of the asia-pacific region must be decided by the asia-pacific region not anyone else.

Prez J. Marcos is very creative. He can create problems out of no problem. Highly talented.

*When Xi says no fishing he means seriously and literally NO FISHING*

[ThinkTalkListen]

Marcos jr have no respect and undermine our own ASEAN by saying US presence important for SCS peace as he is the only one engaging US military for selfish reasons. Is he implying that ASEAN is not up to standard to guard our own turf? Sounds like an insult

[feskye]

Pres. Marcos Jr. delivered his speech very well but these are just plainly words He has not put these things into action. And we the Filipinos are the most affected with how he handle this issue. After Marcos visited to the US he did not do anything to establish diplomacy with China.

[bobafett]

*Dialogue aint working anymore cos China is rock solid steadfast on its territorial stance on SCS*

[happymelon]

thanks Bongbong.
Now SEA won't get left out in a nuclear exchange. Why did PH guys elect another Marcos?

(ASEAN to Increase Local Currency Trade, Reducing Reliance on the US Dollar) 💸💸💸
ASEAN members have agreed to increase the use of local currency transactions and push for a better regional payment connectivity, in a move that could be seen as a continuing shift in de-dollarization in the region.

Kishida is right. Which country or province will be the Ukraine of East Asia?
