This is my president who is percieve to be a weak by some of his critics in handling some issues pertaining peace and order in our nation but shows off his real bravery in facing all but our adversaries especialy in the west Phil. Sea. Long live BBM

[socorromacahiya]

Indeed I agree it is a balance all in all about president BBM…

[soledadtan]

Direct to the point that’s my President #PBBM❤👍👏

ASEAN NEIGHBORS do not give a "F". Im sure they will have their time and regret. We are a proud race and we dont kneel to anybody. We might not be as strong as China, but it doesnt mean wehave to be fearful of these bullies.

[georginayoung]

President Marcos used the civilize approach to emphasize the need to maintain the integrity between two countries. but he also emphasized that Filipinos people shouldn’t be bullied by Chinese rough action. china should remain neutral and not to emphasize that they are powerful than Philippines . They should follow the rolling of the international law.

Kudos to President Bong Bong Marcos for constantly maintaining a strong position on the West Philippine Sea issue in front of International Community. very strong words coming from our president. President Bong Bong Marcos doesn't just deliver a clear and strong message in defending the Philippines Sovereignty on the West Philippine Sea Issue, he follows it up with strong legal evidences such as citing the international law (UNCLOS) and the 2016 Arbitral Ruling.

[RosalindaCubangbang]

The best president ever in the the Philippines aside from his father 👍🙏🙂🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[bongmontano]

So far our President is handling the issue on the WPS with CHINA best behaviour by collaborating with US, JAPAN, S-KOREA as well with the EU that are hearing to UNCLOS decisions 2016 that Philippines wins our claims

[lbrn]

Direct to the point stand on West Phil Sea. Bild move and speech. Strong leader!

[brownasianity]

Nagmukhang mang mnag si Duterte sa speech ni Marcos..

[beausky]

ASEAN must make a feasible Resolution to the UN that this geopolitical, geoeconomic and geographical issues, is a matter that the whole world must decide. to nullify the SCS's ownership, management, and control based on the arbitral ruling, it must be binded and legally accepted by all Nations. the outcome of these pronouncements will setlle once and for all, all issues of the present. the oppressions would expand to other nations and if these happens, the purpose of ASEAN is meaningless, in reality, china is permanently owning vast covers of the SCS with its hidden agenda of food and financial security in the guise of sovereignty claims.

[freddiedugas]

he presented facts case to craft act by multilateral and international norm.

[bjmoto]

We don't need other ASEAN countries should they choose not to poke the panda. The Philippines can handle China.

[joselitogarcia]

Called it West Philippine Sea NOT South China Sea....

[benjiebarrera]

Atta boy!!! Our President BBM Jr. is now flexing his muscle and showing to all and sundry that he is not a mere pushover. Thanks President BBM Jr. show these big mouth yappers to shut their big mouths (especially Big Mouth Harry ROQUE, Robinhood Padilla, Congressman Alvarez, ex-President Digong nyo, at Señorita NO COMMENT, et al.

[NanetteCuauhtli-bbgi]

THIS PROFESSOR IS TRYING HARD TO MAKE HIS POINT. SORRY SIR. YOU SHOWING YOUR NEGATIVITY. TOO BAD. TO HAVE SUCH A PROFESSOR.

[guillerminohinay]

To wake-up China is to late, remember that China has invested Billions of Dollar in the South China Sea so the only option that the Philippines have is to make sure that we have capabilities to defend our country in times when China’s behavior will change into a brutal mode against our forces in the contested waters…

[LiezleVelasco-qqmw]
