From Manila Standard - 3 China warship on goodwill visit
From Philstar - US think tank - Phil illegally occupying two islands in Spratly's
We are entering a new phase in diplomacy with Chinese, they employing the Dewey tactics in the 1800 the gunboat diplomacy. Right after the APEC summit where China was rumored to have the issue of intl arbitration ruling deleted, 3 China warships visited Sasa Port in Sasa. I hope our leaders see through that move. While seen as friendly, it is a reminder that China can send their warships and inflict heavy damage to the residence of the President. It was friendly show of force. and the timing could have been much better.
And with the ships was the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines declared that Filipinos at Pag asa island and the structures there are illegal. What? How come. The residents there have been there (di ba common sense at common law yon?) Bayan ba tayo ng squatters. Pati tayo squatter sa ating sariling bansa. Kailan kaya demolition, eviction notice
Nakakagalit. But what can we do. Do we have warships that can call on Beijing?
But China cant do anything about US 7th fleet patrol at South Philippine sea. Can they beat Trump resolve to show the world who is the boss?
