China’s red “nine-dash line” may cover the map, but it does not erase the law: the 2016 Arbitral Award is final and legally binding, and a growing coalition of states rejects any attempt to grab seas that lie within the Philippines’ lawful maritime rights in the West Philippine Sea.

FLIP THE FRAME: IT’S CHINA’S ACTIONS THAT DESTABILIZE THE REGION: a transparent, Philippine-hosted defensive system isn’t what destabilizes the region. What drives instability is the sustained pattern of military buildup and pressure—militarized outposts, intensified operations and drills in the South China Sea, and expanding strategic capabilities—paired with coercion in our waters. Deterrence protects peace, so Filipino communities can live, work, and fish in safety-this is what BRP stands for.

The Taiwan Coast Guard had to forcibly board a Chinese vessel when it tried to escape & the crew refused to cooperate.

This Chinese vessel was caught with 1 ton of fish, which the Taiwan authorities discarded into their waters.

Di ko matanggap na pinapasahod si Marcoleta ng taong bayan only for him to spread misinformartion na unti-unting sisira sa historical and legal claims natin sa West Philippine Sea! Remove him sa senado please.

Sen. Lacson sa sinabi ni Sen. Marcoleta na hindi si Tomas Cloma ang nakadiskubre sa Kalayaan Island Group: Merong hindi pa rin maka move on kay Tomas Cloma. So, eto ang historical facts para matahimik sa rin sa himlayan niya si Tomas Cloma -- @dzbb

Our fight in the WPS should not be influenced by your political affiliations. WPS is the sole unifying issue that requires us to stand together as Filipinos!

‘IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE EDUCATED’

Sen. Loren Legarda, who holds a master’s degree in national security administration, tells Sen. Rodante Marcoleta that he should pursue postgraduate studies in national security after he questioned the historical account that Filipino Tomas Cloma discovered the Kalayaan Island Group as earlier cited by Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson.

“It’s never too late to take up GSC (general staff corps). It’s never too late to take masters in national security,” Legarda told Marcoleta during a Senate hearing on the proposed measures on military modernization.

It is not only the Starlink systems on vessels that have been jammed by PRC, but also the internet connections aboard our aircraft. Notably, on February 18, when a BFAR aircraft flew over BDM, the connection was lost, displaying a pop-up message stating that Starlink service is not currently available in this country. The signal was restored only after the aircraft moved 13 nautical miles away from BDM.

The following day, on February 19, BFAR and the PCG conducted another routine MDA flight over BDM and encountered the same disconnection with an identical message. This time, restoration required reaching a distance of 15 nautical miles. Later that same day, during an additional MDA flight, the disconnection occurred again upon overflying BDM, with the signal returning only at 17 nautical miles.

These incidents clearly indicate that the PRC has jammed the signals and likely established a geofence designating BDM as part of their territory, triggering the "unavailable in this country" message. It is worth noting that the Chinese government has not granted SpaceX the required licenses or approvals to operate within its borders, due to national security concerns and mandates for all network traffic to route through state-controlled gateways.

Likewise, what is worrisome is that the PRC is adjusting the radius where it blocks the internet signal, while simultaneously asserting a clear claim that BDM is part of its territory.

“I AM PREPARED TO GIVE MY SALN & WAIVE MY BANK SECRECY”

Pasig Congressman Roman Romulo plans to file charges against the Discayas for accusing him of receiving ‘kickbacks’ through DPWH personnel but admit to having never met him. “The malice in their affidavit”

Romulo says “Wala akong itinatago. They know how I live, napakasimple, I don’t even live in my own house. I hope the way I have been living is proof of many things”

Romulo ran with Mayor Vico Sotto’s party. The Discayas were their main opponent in Pasig. #ANCHeadstart @ANCALERTS @ABSCBNNews

Just an ordinary day at the DPWH.

Interesting. I don't know that I agree.

Atty. Michael Poa believes that there is legal basis to the decision of SC on the impeachment case against VP Sara Duterte, maintains that there was "grave abuse of discretion" by the House of Representatives when it filed, transmitted the 4th impeachment complaint. #ANCHeadstart

China Coast Guard is active everywhere except along its own coast. When will we actually see them enforcing real law there?

China lifted its illegal fishing ban over the entire South China Sea- including Vietnam’s and Philippine waters. Within hours, thousands of Chinese boats surged out, ready to steal what isn’t theirs. Their greed & sense of entitlement knows no limits. @MalayaIrredenta
