@yiyun1zdn @duanleicn @MacLopez769 再说一遍，中国无权声称拥有几乎整个南海，更无权无视周边国家的主权权利。

Nobody said China has no rights in the South China Sea. What China does NOT have is the right to claim nearly the entire sea and disregard the sovereign rights of its neighbors. The 2016 arbitral ruling rejected the legal basis of China’s sweeping historic-rights claims. Defending our rights under international law isn’t naivety. Believing that might makes right is.

@Shirink_13 Because they have failed to embrace scientific progress, encourage critical thinking, and uphold individual freedoms. No society can truly progress when religious extremism suppresses innovation, restricts women’s rights, and discourages independent thought.

@nxljrhm @4Ever5_ She simply too pea-brained to understand that protesting doesn’t justify arson, looting, and destroying people’s livelihoods

@nxljrhm Students? With Palestinian Flags?

@qtsansrival Demanding accountability is one thing; calling for someone’s head is another. Violence will only create more chaos and suffering for ordinary Filipinos. We need justice and genuine reforms, not bloodshed.

[Para Sa Bayan @maka_bansa]

@TropicalStrmKen @qtsansrival You’re an idiot! Who will suffer? We Filipinos will, assuming you’re actually Filipino and not a paid mouthpiece of China’s propaganda bureau.

@EricLDaugh “cultural enrichment”

You can criticize American foreign policy all you want. Nobody is stopping you. But claiming that America never helped liberate the Philippines from a foreign invader? Seriously?

Have you forgotten Leyte, Manila, and the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation in World War II?

Thousands of Filipino and American soldiers fought and died in that campaign.

America certainly had its own interests, and its colonial history is far from spotless. But denying historical facts just because you dislike America doesn’t make your argument credible.

You don’t have to be pro-American to get your history right.

Did you know why many Filipinos find it difficult to trust China? Remember the 2012 Scarborough Shoal standoff? Both sides were reportedly supposed to withdraw. The Philippines pulled out its vessels, but China stayed and has maintained control of the shoal ever since.

So tell me, how can we trust China’s promises when its actions tell a different story? Trust is earned, not demanded.

@FFF72007416 @AnnaMalindogUy So which is it? War is imminent, or nobody wants to invade the Philippines?

Just three minutes apart, and you’re already contradicting yourself. At least try to keep your propaganda consistent.

And get yourself verified first before lecturing Filipinos about their own country.

@FFF72007416 @AnnaMalindogUy Get yourself verified first before calling others out. Your’e a paid hack. Admit it.

Who said the Marcos government wants war with China? Is defending our sovereign rights now considered an act of provocation?

Of course Filipinos don’t want war. Nobody in his right mind does. But does avoiding war mean we should just keep quiet while China continues to assert its claims in our own EEZ?

And why suddenly bring up the Marcos family’s alleged corruption? If there’s corruption, investigate and prosecute those responsible. But don’t confuse domestic political issues with our sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea.

We can criticize Marcos without taking China’s side. We can pursue diplomacy without surrendering our rights.

Not everything has to be about Marcos. Sometimes, the issue is simply about what belongs to the Filipino people.

@PaddyPOV @smsupermalls Mercury Drug provides stools for its cashiers, allowing them to sit while attending to customers. A simple but thoughtful gesture that shows genuine concern for employee welfare. Kudos to Mercury Drug!

Who says standing firm against China is not a sane, methodical, and diplomatic approach? We’ve been dealing with China diplomatically for decades. What has that achieved so far?

Being diplomatic doesn’t mean we should remain silent whenever our rights are violated. And being firm doesn’t mean we’re looking for war.

You can be diplomatic without being submissive. There’s a big difference.

[Para Sa Bayan @maka_bansa]

You seem to be missing the point. Marcos said “if true” precisely because the allegations have yet to be established. Since when did raising a national security concern become an accusation of guilt?

And why bring up Sinophobia? Questioning possible Chinese government involvement is not an attack on Chinese people. Those are two entirely different things.

As for the banana chips, nobody is saying they’re being used for espionage. The issue is the money trail, where the funds came from, where they went, and who benefited. What’s wrong with looking into that?

You demand evidence from Marcos and Gibo, which is fair. But where’s your evidence that this is all politically orchestrated? You’re accusing them of weaponizing national security while doing exactly what you’re criticizing them for—drawing conclusions without proof.

If there’s nothing irregular about the transactions, then let the investigation establish that. Why make it a political issue before the facts are even settled?
