Even if BBM denies it, once the US intervenes in Taiwan, the Philippines will be obligated to conduct a joint operation with the Americans to assist Taiwan, as the two countries are bound by a treaty alliance.

Estimates of the alleged ill-gotten wealth of the Marcos family vary, with most sources accepting a figure of about US$5–10 billion, the bulk is in the US, Marcoses family had: fifteen bank accounts that had secretly opened in the US under assumed names; 40 Wall Street, one of four Manhattan buildings purchased in the early 1980s. Do you think BB Marcos will put Pilipino national interest ahead that of his own/family?
