@jaytaryela Quickly have your president arrest this congressman, just as he has been doing lately, and if that fails, have the International Criminal Court issue an arrest warrant for him.

The Philippines' actions and tough stance on the South China Sea are closely tied to domestic political struggles. Its foreign policy is merely a tool used by Philippine political parties in their power contest. As #SaraDuterte 's approval ratings rise, #FerdinandMarcos Jr. will inevitably intensify his rhetoric over the South China Sea issue to divert public attention and suppress the Duterte camp with increasingly harsh and even ruthless measures. You're going to be even busier fighting against China，aren't you?@jaytaryela

Filipinos are not monkeys, but Filipino politicians are being treated like monkeys by other countries. In China, there's a saying: when someone is manipulated into doing shameful and bottomless acts, we call it "being used like a monkey." China has many proverbs using animals as metaphors—such as "stupid as a pig," "clumsy as a donkey," or "loyal as a dog."

DFA STATEMENT ON CHINA DAILY'S OP-ED VIDEOS ON THE ARBITRAL AWARD

MANILA 16 July 2026 — The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns China Daily's publication of AI-generated videos and editorial cartoons concerning the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award, including the video posted on its Facebook account on 10 July 2026. As a Chinese state-run media outlet, China Daily's conduct goes beyond legitimate political debate and employs blatantly demeaning, dehumanizing, and racist depictions of Filipinos.

The Philippines has consistently rejected false narratives and distortions regarding the Arbitral Award and the Philippines' lawful positions in the South China Sea. But we draw a firm line at the depiction of Filipinos as monkeys in the 10 July 2026 video, which is deeply offensive, distressing, and unacceptable. Disagreement over legal and political issues does not justify resorting to disturbing imagery, which has no place in the civil public discourse of a responsible state.

Such imagery and misinformation only serve to widen the distrust between the Philippines and China. The Philippines demands that the offensive material be taken down, calls for the immediate cessation of such irresponsible content, and urges China to uphold dignity, respect, and truth in public discourse. END

@ABSCBNNews Did the Philippines show respect to China beforehand? Unilateral arbitration is also a lack of respect, and promoting an illegal outcome everywhere isn't it an insult to China? Isn't this just asking for trouble and getting exactly what you asked for?

@jaytaryela Aren't you mocking a country's diplomatic representative when you call his name "Guowei" and say "goa way" every day?

[SouthChinase @SouthChinase]

The Philippines' so-called obsession with international law has reached a reckless level.
First, it used an international arbitration that the disputing country (China) does not recognize to settle the South China Sea issue; then it turned to the International Criminal Court—where the Philippines is not even a member and where even the United States, the Philippines' ally, has imposed sanctions—to arrest its former president and current lawmaker. There is a common logic behind all these actions，it's pursuing domestic political family interests or those of certain politicians by any means necessary. On the surface, the Philippines appears to be using international mechanisms, but in reality, these actions violate all international norms and are merely tools for securing domestic political gains.
Jay Tarriela, beware—when the government changes in the Philippines, they will use the same political tactics to retaliate against you.
