Love seeing a well-spoken government official, representing the country well, forwarding the interest of the country, and standing up against transgressors of international law.
This is the level of class and eloquence we should expect from high-ranking government officials.
TEODORO RECEIVES ‘DISRESPECTFUL’ LETTER FROM CHINA
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. showed the handwritten letter he received from the Chinese delegation at the Seoul Defense Dialogue (SDD) 2026 in Seoul on Tuesday.
The letter, which stated China’s position on the 2016 Arbitral Award, was handed to Teodoro after his speech at the forum. “The so-called award is illegal, null and void,” the note read.
Teodoro read the letter and gave an on-the-spot response, asserting, “This is actual coercion, bullying, and aggression. I will keep this paper as a memento of how desperate China is and how ineffective its position is in the face of a free audience.” (Facebook/Department of National Defense)
A masterclass in standing up to intimidation.
During the Seoul Defense Dialogue 2026, a Chinese military attaché handed Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro a note reiterating Beijing’s claim that the 2016 South China Sea ruling is “illegal, null and void.”
Teodoro read it aloud and dismantled it point by point.
“No binding force” ~ “Because you don’t want to be subjected to UNCLOS.”
“China does not accept the ruling” ~ “Of course, because you lost.”
Then, in Filipino: “Show a little decency. Have a little shame.”
The room applauded.
Teodoro called China’s move “actual coercion, bullying and aggression” and kept the note as a “memento.”
