A Filipino solider almost got hit in the eye from a glass shard due to the water cannon breaking the ship.😱
Even if he was not hit in the eye, he took a massive hit in the head, which gave the soldier a big cut on his forehead.😭
Reporters interviewed the soldier and said he will still go back to send supplies.😣

Those events are happening in the west philipine sea, not the south chìna sea. Stop calling it that, youre only helping perpetuate chìnas illegitimate claim 👎

The geopolitical landscape where a superpower like China wants to fortify its control of the entire China sea at the expense of small neighbors through bullying is unacceptable behavior of a superpower. The WPS is not a disputed waters but rather belongs to the Philippines under United nations law of the sea ( UNCLOS), not to mention the decision of Arbitration tribunal in Haugue that invalidate the nine dash line of China. The installation of artificial Island within the EEZ of the Philippines that was turned into a militarily base of China have no space in this modern world where the rule of law should be uphold.

The aggressive actions taken by China are not solely aimed at directly harming the Philippines; rather, they are part of a broader preemptive strategy to assert control over the entire South China Sea region, with the ultimate goal of fortifying their presence and isolating Taiwan. By establishing dominance in the South China Sea, China seeks to create a strategic barrier around Taiwan, hindering any potential support from the US and other allies in the event of an attack. This calculated move, from Chinese, underscores the complexity and significance of the geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.>>>>

Marcos is a traveller and a talker, filipinos are waiting if he can walk his talk. Strong words made by marcos is not needed, what is needed are ways on how to diffuse the tension in the south china sea so it will not escalate further.
Those strong words made by marcos should be backed by strong military, but unfortunately we had only a limited capability defense etablishment.

The Philippinos people do not want war in the president of the Republic of the Philippines should understand that and deals with the Chinese government leaders regarding their aggression against the Philippinos people the fishermen and US Navy’s who just doing their job in the WPS waters territory boundaries of the country. The leaders of China and the Philippines leaders BBM are responsible to solve the problems of their political agendas that they themselves are making it complicated by the China’s failure to act professional and solve their political agendas with respect to the sovereignty of Taiwan they should not used the WPS waters of the Philippines to bullies the Philippinos people because that is not the solutions of their political agendas with Taiwan sovereignty that they wanted to occupy and take over as China sovereign territory by force and testing it to the Philippinos people how the other countries will react like the Americans who has Military Bases in the Philippines because what is the purpose behind the aggression of the Chinese Army to the Philippinos people doing their jobs in the WPS territory of the Philippines. Why ordinary philippinos people are warnings the leaders of these countries involved not to provoke wars by force of their political agendas to just kill innocent Philippinos people who do not want wars that they don’t deserve the implications of devil power if the conflict between countries.
