“China, my friend, how politely can I put it? Let me see… O…GET THE FUCK OUT. What are you doing to our friendship? You. Not us. We’re trying. You. You’re like an ugly oaf forcing your attentions on a handsome guy who wants to be a friend; not to father a Chinese province,” said Philippine Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. in an expletive-laced Twitter message.
CEBU CITY – Joint fishing activities between Filipino and Chinese fishermen are allowed within the 12 nautical mile territorial sea around the Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea even without agreement between the two countries, President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesman Harry Roque said.
SINABI NI Senador Panfilo Lacson na hindi dapat magbitiw ng salita si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na tila sumusuko sa pakikipaglaban sa China sa pagtatanggol ng teritoryo ng bansa.
'West Philippine Sea, hindi na sa atin'
SINABI NI Pangulong Duterte na wala itong balak magpadala ng mga barkong pandigma sa West Philippine Sea kahit pa inangkin ng China ang Julian Felipe Reef sa loob ng ating exclusive economic zone, ilang milya lamang mula sa Palawan.
CHINA HAS occupied the Julian Felipe Reef, just 175 nautical miles west of Palawan’s Bataraza town, and part of the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.
THE U.S. State Department is standing by the Philippines in its latest run-in with China over disputed sea territory.
