If I were an official of this place, I would advice PRD this way about the West Philippine Sea.
Sir, Asian countries are clamoring for the use of this sea - Vietnam, Indonesia, Taiwan and even Malaysia. Why allow our country to be subservient to China whose claim is dubious since the UN has already declared that we own the right to use and explore it.
Our strength as a nation lies on our neighborS with a capital S because we share the same goals of achieving development. The best friends are those who will not bamboozle us to accept their terms, no matter how wrong the are.
And so, let us be Asians. China is not Asian anymore. It is steeped in Marxist Leninist Maoist dictates that adhered to the dictum: Might is Right.
No, Sir, the Asian way is being kind, generous and helpful to our neighbors. The reality that the Chinese military left our fisherfolks nearly drowning in the high seas after their vessel bumped the fishing vessel of our people, shows that they are not good neighbors, not Asians.
Let us not delude ourselves that we can still change the mindsets of the Chinese in PRC. If they can be harsh to the Hong Kong peoples, the majority of whom are Chinese,they could be worse to us.
The response should be an Asian response, Asian unity against a sea bully. Sorry, Mr, Xi Jin Ping, you are being loyal to your dogma and not to human beings.
