‘HUWAG TAYONG PUMAYAG NA GAWING UNGGOY!’
Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Rear Admiral Jay Tarriela raised alarm over an AI video released by the China Daily, featuring a monkey wearing a barong and salakot hat.
“Hindi ba’t nakakagalit na ang mismong bansang gumigipit sa ating mga karapatan sa West Philippine Sea ang siya pang may lakas ng loob na gumawa ng video na naglalarawan sa mga Pilipino bilang mga unggoy na basta na lamang sumusunod sa Japan at Estados Unidos?” he wrote on Thursday.
In the video, an image of the Philippine flag was also spotted.
“Mga kababayang Pilipino hindi po tayo UNGGOY, at huwag tayong pumayag na gawing UNGGOY! Ang mga hayop lamang ang mga nakakagawa ng ganitong pagturing sa kapwa tao at mas masahol pa sa hayop ang hindi marunong sumunod sa international law!” he added. (Facebook/Jay Tarriela)
'WE DRAW A FIRM LINE AT THE DEPICTION OF FILIPINOS AS MONKEYS'
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) released a statement on the AI-generated videos and editorial cartoons published by China Daily regarding the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award.
In a video posted on Facebook on July 10, 2026, the publication depicted Filipinos as monkeys.
"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," the statement read.
The DFA demanded that the posts be taken down and called for China to uphold dignity, respect, and truth. (Facebook/DFA)
China employed the most demeaning and worst way to uphold its propaganda.
When you can't accept the lawful ruling against you, you choose such pathetic ways.

Senator Robin Padilla, with all due respect, our transparency initiative is not wartime propaganda. It is simply a means to expose Chinese aggression and harassment — particularly against our Filipino fishermen and our PCG and BFAR vessels. We do not create the incidents; we only document them.
Secondly, I believe it is an insult to the more than 26 million Filipinos who voted for you na tinanggap ninyo po na unggoy tayo.
Hindi po ito sa paningin ng mga white supremacist, kundi sa perspektibo mismo ng Chinese government — sila po ang gumawa at nagpakalat ng video na iyan.
Ako po, bilang Pilipino, ay hindi kailanman tatanggapin na unggoy ang aking lahi — at hindi ko rin matatanggap na unggoy ang mga susunod pang salinlahi ng ating bansa.
Ang tunay na paggalang sa ating lahi ay ang ipagtanggol ito — hindi ang tanggapin ang pang-iinsulto!
HINDI PO MGA UNGGOY ANG PILIPINO!

STATEMENT
The post of China Daily depicting the Filipinos as monkeys, is a revealing insight into what the Chinese communist apparatus thinks of the Filipino people.
This mockery of the lawful 2016 Arbitral Award and the video’s glorification of violence against the Filipino people and soldiers expose the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of China’s propaganda machine.
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.
We are justified in our policy of no Ministerial or AFP defense engagements or contacts with the CCP or any of its agencies.
The recent spate of schizophrenic behavior of the Chinese Communist Party is too clear to disregard or to ignore. This latest act of dehumanization further reveals them as neither a secure and confident actor nor a trustworthy neighbor.
Pilipinas huwag magpalinlang! Ang nalilinlang ay nasisiil.

Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Rear Admiral Jay Tarriela expects senators who previously called on him to apologize to China over a caricature of Chinese President Xi Jinping to also demand an apology from Beijing over a video depicting the Philippines as a “stupid monkey.”
Tarriela was referring to a video uploaded by China Daily, a state-controlled media company, showing the monkey with the trademark Philippine salakot and barong being controlled by the United States and Japan to push the arbitration case decision in the South China Sea.
“Ngayon, ang tanong ko sa mga senador na nagsabing ako raw ang nag-cross ng line last January dahil sa caricature na iyon, hihingan din ba ng mga senador natin na ito ang Chinese Embassy ng sorry dahil tinawag tayong unggoy?” Tarriela said. @ABSCBNNews
