JAKARTA, Indonesia — President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Tuesday issued a strong statement against “misleading narratives” claiming that the disputes in the South China Sea were due to the rivalry of the United States and China.
The US has been one of the Philippines' staunchest and most vocal allies in its territorial dispute with China involving the part of the South China Sea that Manila calls the West Philippine Sea. “Let me be clear, we do not seek conflict but it is our duty as citizens and as leaders, to always rise and meet any challenge to our sovereignty, to our sovereign rights, and our maritime jurisdiction in the South China Sea. No country would expect any less. No country would do any less,” the Philippine leader said.
“Once more, we call upon all parties for self-restraint on all activities that complicate disputes in the South China Sea. We must not undermine regional peace, stability and security. We cannot emphasize enough that actions, not words, should be the ultimate measure of our commitment of securing peace and stability in the South China Sea,” he said.
“History will ultimately judge whether the supremacy of the rule of law will prevail, ushering in an era where all nations truly stand as equals, independent and unswayed by any single, outside power,” he said.
