‘PILIPINAS HUWAG MAGPALINLANG! ANG NALILINLANG AY NASISIIL’

Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary Gilberto Teodoro on Thursday condemned China Daily’s post depicting Filipinos as monkeys, calling it a mockery of the 2016 Arbitral Award.

“Such contemptible propaganda is a disgrace to any State that claims to exercise responsible regional leadership. It reveals the weakness of a government that resorts to racism, threats, and manufactured hatred because it has utterly failed to defend its ridiculous claims through reason, evidence, or law,” the statement read.

Nagpaulan ng batikos si Senator Alan Peter Cayetano laban sa administrasyong Marcos, partikular sa Department of Justice at National Bureau of Investigation matapos maglunsad ng imbestigasyon sa anomalya sa 2019 SEA Games.

“Sabihin natin sa DOJ, sa NBI, at sa Malacañang, 'di kayo halata ah. Slight lang, pero hindi naman kayo halata,” saad nito sa kanyang Facebook Live nitong Huwebes, July 16, 2026.

Ayon kay Cayetano, tila nakalimutan na ang isyu ng flood control dahil inuuna pa ang ibang kontrobersiya tulad ng 2019 SEA Games.

“Ito proposal natin sa NBI, sa Malacañang, at saka sa DOJ, imbestigahan n'yo 'yung Southeast Asian Games of 2019. [...] Tapos ako naman, sampu ng aming mga kasama na ngayon ay nasa minority, imbestigahan naman namin ang flood control. Ano? Deal?” dagdag nito.

Si Cayetano ang namuno sa Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee.
