Natawa ako sa sabi ng Pangulo ng banggitin nya na ang claim natin ay Hindi base sa imagination, masakit iyan sa pandinig ng china 😁

[Loganooo]

"I'm not intend to yield. Filipinos do not statement from our gallant president gave me goosebumps.

[maharlikaexistense]

Nakasaad sa ating pambansang awit " Sa manlulupig dika pa sisiil sa dagat at bundok"...
Mabuhay PBbm!

[Jocelyn-ue]

TO PRESIDENT FERDINAND BONG BONG R MARCOS JR THANK YOU FOR LOVING AND PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY. YOU'RE TRULY AN ASSET!! KEEP IT UP SIR. TO OUR GOD BE ALWAYS THE GLORY. PHILIPPINES MABUHAY 🇵🇭

[MikoSoza]

The lines we drew from our waters are not derived from imagination Ouch someone must be crying in the corner

[samboulton]

Powerful speech. Very Churchillian. As an Australian, I fully support what the President said and would be proud to stand beside my Philippino brothers to ensure their sovereignty is protected.

[reynaldovdevera]

The message of PBBM is very clear ! only idiots cannot understand THIS!!!

[chatgptmaster-ymew]

Being assertive at the same time respectful is a skill that every great leader must have.

[nosum]

PBBM you're certainly not a coward and I admire you for what you stand up for the Filipino people. No wonder TIME magazine recognize your leadership.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[portalkey]

I wish the late President Noynoy were alive today to watch President Bongbong's speech. Their families were bitter political rivals but we see that their stance regarding the maritime rights of the Filipinos align with each other and both their administrations worked for the benefit of their constituents. This is a good moment.

[jet]

yan ba ang bangang na presidente? nagmamahal ng tunay sa bayan❤

[pauldela]

Filipinos NEVER yield! From Spanish to American and to Japanese. We never YIELD! We were born to fight what is OURS and what is RIGHT. We went through a lot before and definitely not NOW.

[jojobuenaflor]

I so wanted Leni Robredo to win the presidency but i cannot deny that we have a president who loves and will defend our country more than anything else in this world. MABUHAY KA MR. PRESIDENT!!!

[joshguzma]

Hindi kayang sabihin yan ni Digong at ni Sara dahil hindi sila makapilipino. Saludo ako sa Pangulong BBM sa matalino at matapang na pagpapahayag ng soberanya ng Pilipinas sa WPS.

[emmalabado]

Sa speech na ito ni PBBM masakit sa pandinig ng China President…

[bhongfaigmani]

Hindi Ako maka BBM pero yong pag stand ni bbm sa WPS nagustuhan ko ito Kasi ang WPS ay atin..Sana laging ipaglaban ang acting bayan sa mapang API na china..

[LeroyL-qldi]

The best speech I've heard on this issue from the Philippines top government official. Kudos to the well chosen words, spot on.

[noelson]

The Philippines doesn't want war. We just don't let anyone claim our territory. China is big and powerful, that is a fact. And the Philippines is small and weaker but again will not let anyone claim our territories just like that.

[AudiAsiah]

For the future of the Filipino we will not yeild, our President is a great leader

[kairokuys]

I didn't vote for him because of certain issues about him. But, right now, he's impressive for standing his ground and represents the will of the Filipinos regarding our sovereignity over our territories. Good job, President Marcos.
