SINO BANG NAKIKINABANG KAPAG MINAMALIIT ANG ISYUNG ITO?

Ito ay usapin ng mga pang-aatake ng Chinese Embassy sa ating mga opisyal at institusyon. Hindi ito dapat gawing personal na usapin o iangkla sa isang indibidwal lamang. Huwag nating paliitin ang isyu.

Matagal nang agresibo at ilegal na inaangkin at pinapasok ng China ang mga teritoryong malinaw na atin. Kapag ginawang simpleng usapin lamang ito at binabawasan ang lawak at bigat ng problema, nawawala ang tunay na konteksto ng isyu. At sino ba ang nakikinabang kapag minamaliit ang isyung ito? China.

China, over the years, has destroyed over 8,500 hectares of coral reefs in SCS through island expansion and giant clam harvesting.

In Philippines's water, China has destroyed 800 hectares had already been destroyed at Fiery Cross Reef, which was occupied by China on the pretext of building weather radar stations to help Unesco in its global oceanic survey.

Damage is even more extensive at Mischief Reef, which was seized by China in 1995, explaining that the structures it built were for shelters for Chinese fishermen. Close to 1,000 hectares had already been destroyed.

China has destroyed thousands of acres of Coral Reefs and still claims to be the biggest protector of environment!

China's strategy:

Claim whole of South China Sea

Exploit all the resources

Harass the smaller nations

And at the end, act like a victim.

[Isabella Anderson @IsabellaAn67]

Last year, small Peruvian fishermen surrounded and blocked a Chinese fishing vessel that had illegally entered Peru's protected waters.

Local fishing communities in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and almost all other coastal nations are growing increasingly frustrated with the illegal intrusions and resource plundering by the Chinese fishing militia.

Chinese fishing vessels turn off their AIS (Automatic Identification System) just outside Peru's maritime boundary and illegally enter Peruvian waters.

On any given day, there are more Chinese fishing vessels in the waters of Peru & Argentina than the local fishing boats. @RealTonySLee @supbrow @Jay83214566 @yeshuaformosa

‼️🇯🇵🇺🇸💥🇨🇳Japan has sent a clear message. It will not back down in the face of Chinese pressure.

Instead of restraint, Tokyo is accelerating its push to strengthen national defense.

After deploying missiles on Yonaguni Island, only 110 kilometers from Taiwan, Japan is now moving to equip its warships with advanced laser weapons.

The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force has already taken a major step. The combat support ship JS Asuka has been fitted with a powerful 100 kilowatt laser system.

In the growing Taiwan China standoff, Japan is no longer standing on the sidelines. It is preparing for a future where deterrence matters more than words.

Kung ikaw ay Pilipino at hanggang ngayon di mo pa rin nauunawaan kung ano ang kahalagahan ng pinaglalaban natin sa West Philippine Sea, panoorin mo ang video na ito kasama ng iyong pamilya at sabihin mo sa akin kung hindi ninyo naramdaman ang galit para ating tindigan ang mga ordinaryong mangingisdang Pilipino at yaman ng ating karagatan laban sa illegal na presensya ng China sa WPS!

Will the @Greenpeace ever take note of the rampant destruction caused by China's Distant Water Fishing Fleets?

The video shows the aftermath of Pulse Fishing by the Chinese fishing trawlers off Iran in the Persian Gulf.

China's distant-water fleets are ruining our planet. What China is doing is insane, inhuman, & highly destructive.

This madness has to be stopped before these CCP funded pirates ruin every square inch of our oceans. @RealTonySLee @supbrow

Sinabi ni Sara Duterte na ang suspension ni Kiko Barzaga is meant to silence voices.

Sa inyo pa talaga galing 'yan?

Hindi ba noong panahon ng tatay mo, malawakan at institutionalized ang pagpapatahimik sa mga kritiko at media?

An entire Armada of China Coast Guard ships along with Chinese Maritime Militia boats, is chasing a small wooden Filipino fishing boat inside Philippines's waters.

This is what China wants to normalise in the South China Sea. China's illegal actiions & dangerous manuvers are no more hidden in the guise of Gray Zone.

Chinese maritime aggression is getting uglier, impacting thousands of innocent lives across several nations in the South China Sea! @Jay83214566 @RealTonySLee @informedph2 @RommelFLopez

CHINA’S BOATS, OUR EVIDENCE

When Philippine troops boarded Chinese fishing vessels near Ayungin Shoal on October 24, they didn’t find rumors.

They found bottles of suspected cyanide-based chemicals inside our own EEZ.

While Beijing’s media talks about “no cyanide detected” and dismisses this as a “charade,” our side has photos, seized items, and fishers who live with the damage.

This isn’t provocation.

This is evidence-based enforcement against activities that are poisoning the sea our communities depend on.

The Philippines' transparency initiative has always been grounded in the truthful, evidence-based reporting of China's unlawful and aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea. This is precisely why we continue to earn the clear and growing support of the international community—we have nothing to hide, and everything to show.

Do not get confused because the facts are unambiguous: the Philippines has consistently been the victim, while the PRC has consistently been the aggressor. It defies common sense to argue that our small PCG vessels could possibly “provoke” your massive, heavily armed monstrous Coast Guard ships even smaller than your Chinese Maritime Militia while they are operating ILLEGALLY inside our own Exclusive Economic Zone, in flagrant violation of international law and the 2016 Arbitral Award.

Yet another propaganda video has been released by the China Coast Guard, proudly portraying what they describe as “routine law-enforcement patrols” within the waters of Bajo de Masinloc. As usual, the footage is carefully edited to project an image of complete control and legitimacy.

In reality, however, these heavily publicized Chinese patrols have consistently failed to respond to repeated radio challenges issued by the Philippine Coast Guard and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources over the past several days. Despite being clearly hailed on VHF Channel 16, the Chinese vessels have maintained radio silence, offering no acknowledgment, no justification, and no rebuttal to the Philippine authorities’ lawful assertions of jurisdiction.

What makes this latest video particularly noteworthy is that the scripted radio challenge broadcast by the China Coast Guard once again includes the boilerplate declaration that China has “indisputable sovereignty” over Scarborough Shoal and its adjacent waters.

This is precisely why China cannot and will not engage in a substantive radio exchange with Philippine forces. The Philippine Coast Guard’s challenges are firmly grounded in international law specifically the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the final and binding 2016 Arbitral Award, which categorically invalidated China’s sweeping “nine-dash lies.”

China, on the other hand, has no credible legal response. Its claim rests entirely on the historically baseless and legally repudiated “nine-dash lies” a relic of 1940s cartographic ambition that was resoundingly rejected by the 2016 tribunal. Unable to defend its position under modern international law, Beijing resorts to the only tools left in its playbook: physical intimidation, selective video propaganda, and the repeated assertion of “indisputable sovereignty” as though sheer repetition could somehow transform fiction into fact.

In short, these videos are not evidence of lawful presence; they are admissions of legal weakness. The refusal to answer lawful radio challenges, combined with the stubborn reliance on a thoroughly debunked claim, only underscores that China’s actions in Bajo de Masinloc are neither routine nor legitimate they are deliberate, sustained violations of Philippine sovereignty and international law.

Well-done Philippines! That's how you do it!

A single Philippines Coast Guard Ship, BRP Cabra, blocked three China Coast Guard ships, including the 134m long CCG 4305, from getting close to the Zambales coast.

Coast Guard 4305 is a Type 301 Zhaokai-class cutter, built on a PLA Navy Type 054A (Jiangkai II) hull. It is equipped with a 76mm main gun, two 30mm close-in weapon systems & a helo deck.

The much smaller Philippines Coast Guard ship BRP Cabra positioned itself against the China Coast Guard ships in the waters of Zambales.

This intrusion of the China Coast Guard ships in Philippines's Waters near Zambales is a clear violation of the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2016 arbitral ruling that struck down China's sweeping maritime claims in the South China Sea. @RealTonySLee @RommelFLopez @yeshuaformosa

I genuinely think Leni would not run for president anymore for 2028. Nakafocus na sya sa Naga. And if she would run, there's a good chance that she will still not win. Maraming hahadlang dajil lahat silang korap ay masasagasaan. Marami paring hindi naniniwala sa kanya at kung tatakbo si Sara ay yun parin ang iboboto nila.

But IF SHE DOES run for president again, sigurado akong nasa kalsada na naman ulit ako. Mangangampanya, magvovolunteer.

She will have my 100% support all the way.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"
