Beijing’s primary state-run media organ, China Daily, has crossed a dangerous line by releasing a degrading 58-second AI animation that depicts the Philippines as a tattered, screeching monkey to mock a landmark legal ruling.
In this official propaganda video, the caricature of the Philippines is shown screaming on a wobbly stage before being thrown into stormy seas, while a massive whale surfaces to label the 2016 South China Sea arbitration ruling as "ocean garbage".
Why does a global superpower still need to resort to offensive animal caricatures to handle diplomatic disputes?
CHINESE MEDIA ALLEGEDLY DEPICTS FILIPINOS AS MONKEYS
Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro on Thursday night scored China Daily for allegedly depicting Filipinos as monkeys in a Facebook post that criticized the arbitral award that invalidated China’s claims in the West Philippine Sea.

‘THE SENATE SESSION OF JUNE 3, 2026 WAS LAWFUL AND VALID'
READ: The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) issues a statement on what constitutes a legitimate quorum for the Senate to conduct official business following the June 3 Senate session, saying the 1949 Avelino v. Cuenco ruling is applicable.
“One senator cannot be compelled to attend the session because he is detained in relation to a non-bailable offense. While another senator cannot be found, as in fact, his whereabouts appear to be unknown since May 11, 2026,” it reads.
“As such, they were excluded from the count of the members used to determine quorum.” | 📷: IBP
“The people are our bosses. The masa, everybody. The street sweeper, the janitor, the security guard etc. are our boss because they elected us. Our powers emanate from the public so we have to respect that.
Kung yung amo namin ay nagtatrabaho, paano naman kaming mga utusan na nakaupo lang at pasarap-sarap? Mag-iinternet lang?
Samantalang 'yung amo namin, kailangan magtiis sa traffic, pumunta sa factory na mainit. Magtatrabaho 'yung construction worker, napaka-init ngayon ng panahon, pumupukpok doon. These are the people paying our salaries, Ms. Karmina, and yet for us in the comforts of our home, airconditioned? We don't need to go to the Senate for session kasi pwede ang teleconferencing, videoconferencing? Kaya nga we objected, nakakahiya!”
The questioning of THE Karmina Constantino and the response of Senator Erwin Tulfo??? LOUDER!!!!
