“The time has come to assert our rights, to defend our territory, and to send a clear message to Beijing that we will not be intimidated into submission”
IN THE midst of relentless Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has declared with fervor that Filipinos will not cower, bow, or yield to the blatant and outrageous acts perpetrated by China’s expansionist agenda.
With each provocation, each assault on our sovereignty, and each attack on our brave sailors, the resolve of the Filipino people only grows stronger.
In his resolute address, Marcos denounced China’s “open, unabating, and illegal, coercive, aggressive, and dangerous attacks” for what they truly are – acts of bullying and intimidation aimed at subjugating a nation that refuses to bend to the will of a tyrant .
His words reverberate with defiance, echoing the sentiments of a nation unwilling to surrender its dignity in the face of relentless aggression.

The recent attack on a Philippine vessel en route to Ayungin Shoal stands as a stark reminder of China’s brazen disregard for international law and basic decency.
Three Navy personnel injured, their sacrifice serving as a testament to the courage of those who stand guard against the encroaching threat.
Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, Marcos has rallied the nation, refusing to be swayed by the specter of fear.
He has sought support from allies and partners in the international community, drawing upon the collective strength of those who share our commitment to upholding the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.
But make no mistake – the path ahead is fraught with peril.
The Philippines finds itself at a crossroads, forced to confront the harsh reality of an adversary hell-bent on domination.
The challenges facing Marcos and his administration are immense, as they grapple with the daunting task of formulating a response that balances strength with restraint, resolve with diplomacy.
The Filipino people stand united behind their President, ready to confront the threat posed by China’s unchecked aggression.
It is a moment of reckoning, a test of our nation’s resolve in the face of adversity.
The time for complacency has passed; now is the time for action.
In the face of unrelenting aggression, the Philippines must escalate its response to China’s provocations.
No longer can we afford to stand idly by as our sovereignty is trampled upon by an imperialist regime.
The time has come to assert our rights, to defend our territory, and to send a clear message to Beijing that we will not be intimidated into submission.
Negotiations must be pursued, yes, but from a position of strength – a strength born from the unwavering determination of a nation united in its resolve to defend what is rightfully ours.
We must demand accountability from those who seek to undermine our sovereignty, holding them to account for their reckless actions on the world stage.
Above all, we must strive for peace and stability in the South China Sea, for the sake of our people and the generations that will follow.
But let it be known – peace cannot be achieved through appeasement, nor stability through capitulation.
It is only through unwavering resolve and steadfast determination that we will secure a future free from the specter of Chinese aggression.
In this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, let us stand shoulder to shoulder, united in our determination to defend our sovereignty and protect our way of life.
The time for action is now; the time for Filipinos to rally behind their President and their country is at hand.
Together, we will overcome the challenges that lie ahead, and together, we will emerge stronger than ever before.
For in the face of adversity, it is the strength of the Filipino spirit that will ultimately prevail.
