- China's expanding influence in the Philippines as an investor and trade partner was primarily shaped by Rodrigo Duterte's leadership. However, with the arrival of a new president, significant shifts are occurring.

Under the Marcos Administration, the Philippines' foreign policy trajectory holds great significance for the nation's future. What direction do you anticipate they will steer the country towards? Let us know down below!
WEF Agenda trying to control the world with cashless system, totalitarian hidden in plain sight. China being China. As Filipino, I can't trust any of them.
Can you please discuss about either Black Rock have any influence to Philippines or Philippines have any to do with Black Rock? I'm worried what kind of control of these Groups.
Kasi naman hindi binabalita unti unti nagiging Black Rock may ari na ang Ukraine, kasi utang. Magiging alipin ang Ukraine.
War with China.
It's totally down to Marcos who has too much money kept in US.
China is not helping the Philippines. Do you see many projects financed by China? Japan is currently providing the most help.
Check your facts correctly. When Macos junior went to China after election. China signed billion dollar deals for infastructure and high speed rail and investment to help Philippines. Then Macos allow America to build four military bases to provoke China. So the deal is off. What do Philippines want? Development or war?
@@steelydan1242 If we choose development we will loose WPS. China's AID is more of a bribery to control Philippines and not genuine support.
@@jonlaurenzreyes1902 what does genuine support means to you? Have more US military bases and the threat war at the expense of peace, jobs, good infastructure and better quality life ? If Philippines love America so much, then why did Philippines drive out the Americans when they were the occupiers?
@@steelydan1242 it's in the law that we have to protect our territory even if we die even the national anthem says that. What do you mean drive out the Americans when they were the occupiers? The only time when America was the occupier was in Philippine-American war until WW2.
@@jonlaurenzreyes1902 As oppose to America ruling Philiphines when did China ever attack and occupy Philippines?
Filipinos does not want a neighbor who aggressively grabs your land. It is the same thing with countries like India and Vietnam. They are also pushing China in their backyards or exclusive economic zone areas. China also lost them. Greed is one of the sources of conflicts with others and same thing with countries.
Go ask Kampuchea and Laos what Vietnam had done to them.
Go ask India's neighbours what India had done.

@@wise003090wise003090 Regarding Vietnam idk much about the country except they won war against USA and so many brands have "Made in Vietnam" tags. I guess they are becoming manufacturing hub of Southeast Asia.
China has already invaded the philippines by building military bases on the sholls and reefs inside of the philippines economic zone. This is not only a political slap in the face but an ecological disaster for the fish that occupied the reefs and sholls that were desamated along with the sea bed that was dredged up to make them . This is a total disrespect to the philippines and it's people who depend on the sea life for their survival.
Isn't that what The US in doing in the Philippines building military bases?
Pride & Ego wont take those lands back..what we need is real solemness to resolve this by our own,that china should see and not some steering decision in every administrations..if china only had seen our sincirity,we could have just share it
@lexinggeneral China never had any intentions of sharing anything inside of the nine dash lines . Their talking points all lead to capitulation by the other countries who have rightful claim to their economic zones . Once they make the move to take Taiwan, then the rest of the Asian countries around the west Philippines sea will be next starting with Japan.
China ccp greedy and also very lier in the world
In the South China Sea, many countries have overlapping territorial waters. Why is the Philippines only blaming China? Because its master, the United States, asked its servants to create some trouble for China in the South China Sea. Poor Philippine servants
We Filipinos don’t want to be under China policy and administration. It’s better we side at the Americans and western countries..
Having a relationship with China,as a Filipino is beyond imagination I can't accept a friend or an ally who's statement is different from what is actually done,a traitor,lier, stealer and a bully none of the characteristics that fits China as a friend.

Yeah backtabber and slander also. These people dont know how to follow common law of the world.
Nakakagalit diba? Galit na galit ako sa China dahil sa ginagawa nila.

President Marcos called on the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to defend the country’s territory amid a new security landscape and the South China Sea row. Speaking to troops of the Visayas Command in Cebu, Marcos described the current geopolitical situation in the world today as “most complicated.” He said there was a time when the Philippines did not have to worry about threats and the intensification of competition between the superpowers. “For many, many years, we were able to maintain that peace and maintain that understanding with all of our neighbors. Now things have begun to change and we must adjust accordingly,” he said. “We know that the Philippines is just a small country but we still need to defend our territory.”
He said the Philippines used to have clear boundaries, but now these are being questioned - a situation that further highlights the military’s important mission of safeguarding the country.
“We are facing a more complex foreign situation in the Philippines. Like what I said, that in this part of the world, here in the Philippines, South China Sea, among all issues, it is said to be the most complicated geopolitical situation,” the President said in a mix of English and Filipino.
“Even if there is war in Ukraine, the South China Sea is said to be the most difficult and most complicated problem. That is why I said the mission of the AFP has changed. We need to safeguard those that we did not need to think much about previously,” he added.
We extended a sincere hand of friendship to the People's Republic of China...and they spat on it! 😡 You do not treat friends the way you treated the Philippines! ✊️🇵🇭

The Philippines, as a sovereign nation, has its independence. It is crucial for Filipino citizens to assert their rights when Chinese warships sail close to their coastal waters. While China provides financial assistance to the Philippines, it can be seen as a means of exerting control rather than genuine support. It creates a situation where the Philippines feels obligated to follow China's directives due to financial obligations. If the President of the Philippines fails to protect the country's interests, it is ultimately the responsibility of the people to stand up for their nation.
It’s just Marcos has more closer ties and influence from the Americans. Every country in the world has territories disputes and China is always got blamed as the aggressor while in South China Sea, the Americans will interfere and cause more trouble even they’re far away just to contain China. Now Chinese in Philippine will face hate again.
@@buddha199115well, in the south China Sea or west Phil sea, the aggressor is clearly China.
@@buddha199115 China goes daily into PH waters without permission. Every single US ship that enters PH waters has been allowed to do it.

First and foremost Philippines is not relying on china interms of financial or anything,interms of trades/exports&Imports maybe vice versa "both sides are benefited " maybe only the previous cowards/corrupt leaders who tried to leaned on china But the Filipino citizens were clueless about those things.
Phillipines is not a sovereign country, there are a lot of foreign army in their lands 😂😂😂😂😂
Keep delusion.
Phil has never been a part of China... Maybe the subtitle should be How China lost some Filipino politicians who likes China...
LOST also means not used to good purpose, as opportunities, time, or labor; wasted: a lost advantage. being something that someone has failed to win good relationship: ending in or attended with defeat of good bilateral relationship.
From the definition of "lost" above - **HOW CHINA LOST "ASIA"?!!!** Consider the Philippines, which has an interest in maintaining both its growing economic ties with neighboring China as well as its half-century-old security alliance with the U.S.. The Philippines’ last president, Rodrigo Duterte, placed greater emphasis on the former, turning sharply away from the U.S. and toward China after his election in 2016. **In exchange for effectively siding with China in the escalating great-power competition, Duterte sought Chinese investment in his pet project - the “Build! Build! Build!” infrastructure program - and moderation of China’s aggressive behavior in the West Philippine Sea, particularly its seizure of islets and outcroppings claimed by the Philippines. **But China did not oblige. When Duterte’s presidency ended last June, China had delivered less than 5% of the $24 billion it had pledged to invest in the Philippines, and its provocations in the West Philippine Sea, which comprises part of the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, continued unabated!!!**
Duterte’s successor, President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., has so far taken a more prudent strategic approach. Deeply concerned about the territorial disputes fueled by Chinese claims in the South China Sea, Marcos has decided to reaffirm and enhance his country’s partnership with the U.S.!!! To this end, the Philippines has decided to grant the U.S. access to four more military bases - for a total of nine - some of which are located near disputed areas of the South China Sea. American troops rotate regularly through the designated bases. The U.S. and the Philippines have also agreed to resume joint patrols in the South China Sea, which, under Duterte, were suspended for six years. Beyond the U.S., UNDER PRESIDENT BONGBONG MARCOS - the Philippines and Japan recently agreed to deepen defense ties, with Japanese troops securing greater access to Philippine territory for training and logistics. Moreover, the Philippines is pursuing greater maritime cooperation with the United Kingdom. The two countries held their inaugural Maritime Dialogue on Feb. 7. Two weeks later, the Philippine defense minister agreed with his Australian counterpart to formalize their “strategic” defense engagement - potentially including joint patrols in the South China Sea.
So, the Philippines is gradually becoming a key hub of military cooperation among Southeast Asia’s democracies *UNDER PRESIDENT BONGBONG MARCOS - PHILIPPINES, SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, AND INDONESIA!!!* This affords the U.S. important strategic benefits - for which China has only itself to blame. China’s efforts to bully its neighbors into acquiescing to its demands and preferences have not only failed; they have led to the emergence of a kind of anti-China coalition in the Indo-Pacific.
This has certainly been the case in South Korea. After the country agreed in 2016 to deploy a U.S. Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system on its territory - a response to escalating threats from North Korea - China imposed heavy economic sanctions. With that, public opinion in South Korea turned sharply against China: measured on a scale of 1 (most negative) and 100 (most positive), South Korean sentiment toward China now stands at 26.4 - two points less favorable than sentiment toward North Korea (28.6), according to a Hankook Research poll conducted in 2021.
Partly in response to public opinion, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, like Marcos, has sought to strengthen its alliance with the U.S.. He is also working to improve long-strained relations with Japan, not least by announcing a plan to compensate Koreans who performed forced labor under Japanese colonial rule during World War II.
China’s aggressive sanctions against Australia - imposed in 2020 as punishment for the Australian government’s call for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 - spurred a similar foreign-policy reorientation. In September 2021, Australia formed an “enhanced security partnership,” known as AUKUS, with the U.S. and the United Kingdom. And Australia, India, Japan and the U.S. have sought to strengthen the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.
**All of these steps aim to bolster security,!!! In his 1995 book “Diplomacy,” former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger argued that it was Imperial German leaders’ combination of “truculence” and “indecisiveness” that “hurled their country first into isolation and then into war.” In his view, World War I erupted partly because leaders were “swayed by the emotions of the moment and hampered by an extraordinary lack of sensitivity to foreign psyches.” A similar dynamic may be at play today. Ensuring that the dark history of the 20th century does not echo today will require sound judgment from both sides. China must recognize the fear it has incited with its bullying and democracies across the Indo-Pacific must take care to ensure that their responses do not heighten tensions excessively. HOWEVER, DUE TO "EXTREMELY HIGH COST" FOR CHINA - CHINA WILL SURELY CHOOSE "PEACE" AND CHINA KNOWS THAT THEY CAN EASILY BE CHOKED AT THE "STRAIT OF MALACCA" BY "AUKUS ALLIANCE - AUSTRALIA, UNITED STATES,, UNITED KINGDOM, INDIA, AND JAPAN" AND "SOUTHEAST ASIA'S ALLIANCE - PHILIPPINES, SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, AND INDONESIA" AND BE BLOCKED THEIR "OIL IMPORTS" FROM ARAB COUNTRIES AND ANGOLA. - DEPRIVING THEM OF THEIR 80% CONSUMPTION OF OIL ENERGY!!!**
Lost means failed
@@lucitobreseno2100 An outstanding analysis. I think your last thought is correct. We want peace, and so we are preparing for war.
Most Filipinos think alliances to defend territory a must - Eight out of 10 Filipinos agree that the Philippines should form alliances and strengthen its relationships with like-minded countries to defend its territorial and economic rights in the West Philippine Sea, the latest commissioned Pulse Asia survey showed. Results of the survey, commissioned by international think tank Stratbase ADR Institute, were released at its forum, “The 7th Year of the Arbitral Victory: Defending the West Philippine Sea, the Indo-Pacific, and the Rules-Based Order.” **Pulse Asia conducted the survey from June 19-23, 2023, and asked 1,200 Filipinos nationwide whether or not they agree with the statement: “Alliances should be formed and relationships strengthened with other countries that have similar beliefs to the Philippines to defend the territorial and economic rights of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea and protect international order.”!!!**
Moreover, when asked to identify measures the Marcos administration should prioritize to effectively address issues in the West Philippine Sea, seven out of 10 Filipinos, or 72 percent said the government should strengthen the military capability of the Philippines, especially the Navy, Coast Guard, and the Air Force.
Sixty-four percent said the government should conduct joint maritime patrols and military exercises with allied countries, and 61 percent said the government should shift the focus of Philippine defense institutions, and allocate more resources to strengthen the ability to defend the country from external threats.
**In this Pulse Asia survey, 89 percent of Filipinos said they trust the United States, 79 percent trust Australia, 78 percent trust Japan, and 64 percent trust the United Kingdom!!!**
There's nothing wrong with China becoming a dominant power in Asia if they know how to respect and abide by international laws as well as the laws of other countries like the Philippines.
Correct, 1000000%
That is the problem with China . The Dragon wants to gobble up the countries in the area. No way. Major Human rights violator!
Right, China's rise wouldn't be nearly as alarming had it gone more the way of the Republic now on Taiwan. Instead Beijing opts to "Make China Great Again" through the same old imperial arrangements with yet another unchallengeable autocratic dynasty at its core.
Agree
The IAT ruling is NOT international law as it is not a part of UN. It is not enforceable.
ICJ is. But why was Philippines case dismissed by ICJ?
Simple. Lack of evidence. Same applied to Sipadan. Belongs to Malaysia. Philippines claim was discarded. Again NO evidence.
ITA was set up by Philippines. Even the Judges are selected by Philippines Foreign Ministry. They are paid by Philippines and attended only by Philippines.
So don't you Pinoys dare to talk International law.
In a war between US and China, all these airbases occupied by Americans will be destroyed and China will most likely land troops on them.
What can an ANT like Philippines do when Elephants fight? Get trample. Duterte is wise and choose a safe path and hence peace during his tenureship.
Philippines has 7000 islands and most of them will be underwater in the next century.
So Marco Jr is doing something very stupid today, think about it.
Majority of Filipinos do not like Red China and communist countries. We prefer US and Euro countries.
As well as India, South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
And we Americans prefer Filipinos too. We have all grown closer over the past 400 years. There's been some problems and Filipinos have not always been treated equally by white Asians also. They can be just as racist as white Europeans. But deep down in our hearts, we love you guys and you know that. We welcome you in our countries and when you come here we treat you as equals, you have equal access to everything. We already had a brown US president who grew up in Indonesia and speaks Indonesian, we have a vice president that is half Jamaican and half Tamil, we are looking forward to a Filipino American president in the future in the United States. We all know that that will NEVER happen in racist Han China or Racist Russia.
We do prefer made in china items and we love Chinese foods too.
I prefer the term, "not many Filipinos like China at all."
@@taongloboSo? Chekwa ba nagpapalamon sayo?
Imagine you're the head of your family and you are trying to please two competing beasts surrounding your house. You have to make deal to both for you to survive. You have to ask US Military assistance for security while keeping good relationships with China because of economic reasons while you are being pressed. Its just so easy to criticize with a little understanding.
True. Most people fail to recognize the real problem.
As China is realizing its long term plan to be Maritime superpower, they need to control or annex the following:
South china sea and militarize it (ASEAN water territories, ✔️
Taiwan- in progress
Korean & japanese west water territories-in progress
First chain of Islands (from japaeln to Indonesia+ Aus)- Future.
So Phil should protect and have strong defense together with its Allies.
Why should USprotect those that dislike them?
Its like wanting to get FalAccuse, not very smart.
Did China ever threaten ph with military? Americans just want to surround china with military bases to contain Chinas economic growth and ph agreed. China never considered itself as ph n master but not American. They had been your master for so long and ph , I guess can’t shake it off.
What's the sense of making friends with China because of economic reason while at the same time Chinese coast guard is pointing military grade laser to the Philippine Coast Guard, illegaly smuggling of Chinese goods without paying tariffs or taxes, Chinese spy ships or navy ships turning their transponders off. Chinese citizens in the Philippines kidnapping their own people. Gun running business. Chinese drug dealing business and the promise of Xi Jinping billions of dollars to Puppet Duterte for his infrastructure project that never materialized. He got duped by lying, cheating thief Winnie the Pooh. Would you make friends with a BIG BULLY if you get bullied every single day. I DON'T THINK SO. YOU FIGHT BACK.
President Duterte's independent foreign policy led to his alliance with the Chinese Communists. Now, look at what these Chinese are doing in our territorial West Philippine Sea. We are just lucky his term for the presidency has ended. A new era of a new administration has begun with a new independent policy that is focused on a renewed relationship through our age-old alliance with the United States -a true ally that can truly offer assistance and protection if we need it.
Bong Bong old man were the one started conflict since 1971.

As wel the america
What? let me tell you this, the U.S imperialists only gave $150 million to south east asia, 15 million for each country for MILITARY, but China, oh my, glorious China, gave $1.5 billion each for economy and infrastructure, not only south east asia, but across the world, africa, south america, China wants to improve these countries. But the U.S imperialists... not only that, 40% of the budget is spent on U.S warships and military bases in south east asia to keep "peace" but south east asia doesnt need military support, it needs economic support. #ENDUSIMPERIALISM
If you use Google to search online, you will find that several countries, including the Philippines, claim sovereignty over the South China Sea. China only owns 7 islands, the Philippines has 11, and Vietnam has 29. Can you think independently why your government is only against China? Because your master, the United States, wants to create disputes in the South China Sea, get China involved in territorial disputes, and make Asian countries no longer united.
SEVENTY-FIVE percent of Filipinos are in favor of strengthening military ties between the Philippines and the United States amid China’s incursions in the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the West Philippine Sea. This is based on a Pulse Asia survey conducted June 19 to 23, 2023 and shared by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri with media the other day.
And if you include Filipinos around the globe maybe it could be 90 percent .

Shifting trade to ASEAN partners, Japan, South Korea and countries other than China is the ideal move. But lest we forget most of our big businessmen and taipans are of Chinese descent.

Wish there are some intrepid nationalist Filipino businessmen who will organize their own Chamber of Commerce (with gov't support overtly or covertly) and source materials from these friendly countries.
To be fair the Phils during PRRD's term tried to build a mutually benificial relationship with China. But after 6 years of PRRD admins very close and exclusive ties with China, what has China actually invested in the Phils?
The number of China ODA projects in Phils during PRRD's term fails in comparison to Japan's, and ADB. The only bigtime China investment in the Phils was with DITO, and we all know who benifitted from that. 😂

Before you blame it on China, there were two huge projects that the Philippines later cancelled and that pissed the Chinese off. One was the airport and the other a new reclaimed city, both because of US interference and knowing the Philippines as the American lap dog they obliged and decided to listened to the Americans instead of their own interest. Why would China invest in the Philippines further when their projects are always interfered by a third party?

One Reason China Is Willing to Engage Again: Its Troubled Economy - 22 hours ago - Now the faltering economy of China appears to have helped prompt a shift in the willingness of senior Chinese officials to engage in diplomatic talks - **THIS IS A CHANCE FOR THE UNITED STATES AND THE PHILIPPINES TO NEGOTIATE - "CHINA'S GOOD BEHAVIOR IN WEST PHILIPPINE SEA"!!!**
The Phillippines is no longer neutral. They literally have multiple US military bases now with several more to go online soon
Children talks about friendships, while adults talks about interests. There is no friendships when millions of lives can suffer or die over such foolishness.

With that, public opinion in South Korea turned sharply against China: measured on a scale of 1 (most negative) and 100 (most positive), South Korean sentiment toward China now stands at 26.4 - two points less favorable than sentiment toward North Korea (28.6), according to a Hankook Research poll conducted in 2021.
Partly in response to public opinion, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, like Marcos, has sought to strengthen its alliance with the U.S.. He is also working to improve long-strained relations with Japan, not least by announcing a plan to compensate Koreans who performed forced labor under Japanese colonial rule during World War II.
China’s aggressive sanctions against Australia - imposed in 2020 as punishment for the Australian government’s call for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 - spurred a similar foreign-policy reorientation. In September 2021, Australia formed an “enhanced security partnership,” known as AUKUS, with the U.S. and the United Kingdom. And Australia, India, Japan and the U.S. have sought to strengthen the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.
**All of these steps aim to bolster security,!!! In his 1995 book “Diplomacy,” former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger argued that it was Imperial German leaders’ combination of “truculence” and “indecisiveness” that “hurled their country first into isolation and then into war.” In his view, World War I erupted partly because leaders were “swayed by the emotions of the moment and hampered by an extraordinary lack of sensitivity to foreign psyches.” A similar dynamic may be at play today. Ensuring that the dark history of the 20th century does not echo today will require sound judgment from both sides. China must recognize the fear it has incited with its bullying and democracies across the Indo-Pacific must take care to ensure that their responses do not heighten tensions excessively. HOWEVER, DUE TO "EXTREMELY HIGH COST" FOR CHINA - CHINA WILL SURELY CHOOSE "PEACE" AND CHINA KNOWS THAT THEY CAN EASILY BE CHOKED AT THE "STRAIT OF MALACCA" BY "AUKUS ALLIANCE - AUSTRALIA, UNITED STATES,, UNITED KINGDOM, INDIA, AND JAPAN" AND "SOUTHEAST ASIA'S ALLIANCE - PHILIPPINES, SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA, AND INDONESIA" AND BE BLOCKED THEIR "OIL IMPORTS" FROM ARAB COUNTRIES AND ANGOLA. - DEPRIVING THEM OF THEIR 80% CONSUMPTION OF OIL ENERGY!!!**
You "think" Chinese didn‘t know what bong bong old man did since 1971?
If you imagine Duterte being completely loyal to his country
you would think that by warming up heated relations with China(sucking up to China's a88) and making the country look worse, Duterte and his goons succeeded in uniting the country against China and made the potential traitors look obvious and the potential supporters think twice about China without going to war. That also made the US take the Ph more seriously since they basically helped the Ph lose Scarborough.
Say, if China ever invades, people would know where to point the guns lmao
He also terminated the idea of joint oil exploration *with the chinese inside philippine territory* days before he left his seat to Marcos Jr.

China made a lot of promises ro Duterte that did nor happen.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
China realized that Filipinos are a US puppet and always follow their master. Bow wow, wow, that's Filipino. NO BLAME FOR CHINA.
Very true!
The move of shifting by the Philippines towards the eastern hemisphere has drawn the attention with the Chinese and Russian government but similarly the US and other western states. So to be fair to Duterte and the Philippines, their unexpected shift of geopolitical friendliness towards new states particularly towards those that are direct opposite of traditional allies really allowed Philippines to gain the attention or allowed the Philippines to be seen/ included in the global geopolitics. And we know that by being a country that is talked about is a much better situation than being one that is not talked about at all.
Furthermore, by being the abnormal government (Duterte presidency) in the philippine history of governance especially in geopolitics, it opened a lot of new ideas as to how Philippines as a country is perceived, from a full western ally to having a more uncertain status in its allegiance. I don't think it was a bad idea to shift during Duterte's time, because of the personality of the president, many could have foreseen the event.
Another thought is that after Dutertes time in power, the next president will have a more blank canvas to operate in and can paint how they want Philippines to move in the global scene, since duterte has already done the heavy lifting of putting Philippines into a more neutral state (atleast in geopolitics) as it countered the heavily favoured western allegiance stance of the Philippines by exploring new networks with China and Russia. also the shift allowed US to rethink Philippines importance in their geopolitical dominance.
So all in all I'd give the move an ok result, as it allowed: Philippines to gain international attention, to have a role of importance towards global powers, opened new connections and relationship, positioned Philippines in terms of being perceived as its own state rather than a western follower, also it allowed to explore the idea of working with China and Russia, which we all know sucked for the Philippines but not only does it allow for new knowledge but also set a precedent case for the Philippines when thinking about working with China. as well as Russia where there was hints of good talks and working cooperation between Philippines-Russia.
Be fair to Duterte? Ha he sold out the Philippines to China and you know the Greed of Pres Xi Jing Pi is beyond limitless. He would have made millions maybe billions and the Philippines would loose the right to drill oil and gas and Deuterium within its territorial waters and how ca the current government fund their new project under Bongbong Marcos Food Stamp program for the poor?The only way is to drill oil & the most valuable energy in the world Deuterium gas and sell it at world prices so that the poor in the Islands will be able to get out of poverty unless we have greedy political government officials in the Department of Energy there
And lift the country and its citizens out of poverty
I haven't really thought about it myself but your comment makes so much sense
So many words to justify Duterte's foreign policy shift. Just call it as it is: brash and stupid.😂
Thats a very good explanation, thats how genious Pres Duterte is .. The small mind cant comprehend with hes way of thinking, small minded people are short sighted

I voted him for President, but I lost my confidence in him as our leader the way he protects our territorial sovereignty. He let China take our territory. He failed the Filipinos who have hope in him.

"MY" Expectations and Conclusions - An exploration of the origins and nature of Philippine and U.S. interests in the South China Sea reveals a substantial degree of alignment. While this harmonization ought to be availed for the purposes of regional stability, increased tensions in the U.S.-China relationship will likely lead President Bongbong Marcos to pursue more assertive policies towards Beijing as it hitches its wagon to President Joe Biden more thoroughly. However, given that China is a close neighbor and trade partner to the Philippines, President Bongbong Marcos could also pursue a parallel set of policies to manage tensions and capitalize on areas for potential cooperation. United States Foreign Affairs Secretary Blinken already started his during his recent visit in China. The recent decision of the Philippine Supreme Court has left joint fishery and resource exploration efforts stillborn so long as China insists on equal ownership of the maritime zones in question. Therefore, President Bongbong Marcos' foreign policy in the short term will likely prioritize minilateral coalition-building against China as its main diplomatic thrust, safeguarded by limited, de-escalatory engagement with Beijing. **This will proceed alongside a more comprehensive program of U.S.-backed military capacity building to deter Chinese incursions in the maritime domain!!!
"MY" Expected Policies from the Philippines - President Bongbong Marcos will prioritize increasing U.S. base access in areas with maritime implications such as in Palawan (ALREADY DID) and Western Luzon (Subic Bay and Subic Airport). While most existing EDCA sites (FIVE IN TOTAL NOW) are holdovers from the GWOT, prioritizing cooperation on land operations and counterinsurgency tactics, the new set of proposed locations (ADDITIONAL FOUR IN TOTAL) suggests that President Bongbong Marcos is committed to drawing on U.S. assistance to enhance its air and sea capabilities and project power into China-implicated theaters like the South China Sea and Luzon Strait. Going forward, President Bongbong Marcos will also be persuaded into re-opening the Agila Subic Shipyard to U.S. troops as I said earlier -a strategic boon on the South China Sea’s eastern seaboard that could open the door for more regular joint patrols. It would also be a powerful symbol of the rehabilitation of U.S.-Philippine military ties!!! President Bongbong Marcos will modernize its navy and coast guard with Chinese ‘gray zone’ operations in mind so as to build a viable defensive line against future encroachments. The Philippines has already been creative in its defensive tactics-such as by deliberately grounding a vessel on the Second Thomas Shoal to act as a buffer between Mischief Reef and Palawan!!! Manila’s development of asymmetric defensive tactics and systems will provide its sailors with much-needed defenses against novel challenges (like lasers), and actively preparing for Chinese hybrid operations will mitigate escalations into live-fire from the Philippine side.
President Bongbong Marcos will increase international participation in joint military exercises such as Balikatan (ALREADY HAPPENED) ; enduring commitment to strengthening regional partnerships and fostering military cooperation, with - U.S. Marines and Sailors (MASA 23 Exercise in Palawan) and with U.S. Air Force in Subic (Cope Thunder Exercise 23) ; etc. Australian units have been included in the Balikatan exercise since 2014, but military cooperation with East Asian and fellow ASEAN states may also be pursued as part of Manila’s coalition-building agenda. Japan’s participation in last month’s smaller Salaknib exercise is an indicator of this trend. More participants in these exercises, in addition to enhancing the show of force, will allow for greater sharing of expertise and build rapport for interoperability. res under serious dispute!!!
In PBBM's first year of presidency, he realized threats from both the opposition and his own allies. VP Sarah Duterte's popularity and coup d'etats in PH history concern him. Fake news and discontent from Duterte supporters add to the challenge. With many Duterte loyalists in the government, PBBM struggles to appoint his choices, leading him to seek USA's backing. This move is about local politics, not geopolitics. Being machiavellian, he views allies as bigger threats than enemies. An ace up his sleeve is essential to safeguard his presidency.

Did China coerce the Philippines to adopt communism? Did China pressure the Philippines to choose side? The only issue the Philippines with China is overlapping claim over some islands which is a common contention around the world. "There is no security without economic development" - Schiller's Institute.
China agreed, signed and ratified 1982 UNCLOS. Did CCP forgot what it agreed, signed and ratified? And now CCP is not recognizing the international rule of law.
It's a very important overlapping claim. Also there's the issue of not really following through with the actual monetary pledges and China harassing local civilian ships.
here's your 50 cents
no one wants to side w china? grabber , Im filchi
It was never mentioned the word WEST PHILIPPINE SEA ( WPS) .. it must be known to the world that the sea is part of the Philippines sovereignty.. Hoping in your next content it is highly recommended the WEST PHILIPPINE SEA be marked. Be blessed everyone🤲
The Philippines is an independent country, has its own sovereignty as a nation.
Consider the Philippine-China-United States Relation - President Bongbong Marcos has an interest in maintaining both its growing economic ties with neighboring China as well as its half-century-old security alliance with the U.S.. The Philippines’ last president, Rodrigo Duterte, placed greater emphasis on the former, turning sharply away from the U.S. and toward China after his election in 2016. **In exchange for effectively siding with China in the escalating great-power competition, Duterte sought Chinese investment in his pet project - the “Build! Build! Build!” infrastructure program - and moderation of China’s aggressive behavior in the West Philippine Sea, particularly its seizure of islets and outcroppings claimed by the Philippines. **But China did not oblige. When Duterte’s presidency ended last June, China had delivered less than 5% of the $24 billion it had pledged to invest in the Philippines, and its provocations in the West Philippine Sea, which comprises part of the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, continued unabated!!!**
He only ended it because the contract was only up to that year.
China must respect it's smaller neighbors! Don't be a Bully!
Thanks for this im enlighten with our country situation
investors fear to invest in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand if China continue its plan to invade Taiwan therefore the flows of trades and supplies will be affected according to Germany explanations...
The opportunity here is Philippines and Indonesia the trades and flows of trades continues throughout the entire ports of the country...
Philippines can easily approach the high income economy if the country can elevate it's trades, manufacturing tourism and drilling of gas to boost the economy...
Development can only come from own self reliance, hardwork and being smart. Nothing come free. Dont think of getting handout but be rich. Its a delusion.

China's Belt and Road initiative loans to the Philippines would have been a financial disaster for the Philippines especially with the Interest that China would place on those loans to the Philippines.

I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
I think what have been missed out on this was Duterte was the key player in this Chess game. Duterte is highly strategic which Marcos is now reaping the wins. Looking back at Duterte's independent foreign policy, it was a big wake up call for the United States to look back and check on its little brother, the Philippines. During Obama's America, the United States has been very hesitant to openly support the Philippines on the West Philippine Sea dispute. So when Duterte came he saw it as an opportunity to tell America that hey if we are important to you show us some support and if you cant do that to an ally then might as well I'll seek peace with an enemy lurking behind my fence, and so he did.
Duterte's mushy-mushy relationship with China had made great impact to the US given that its long time strategy to contain China might be having loopholes. Hence, as Marcos came in, the United States has been proactive again on this part of the region. What Marcos should do now is to make use of this revitalized relationship with the US and bolster what ever military support it can get at least to arm the Philippines against a possible South China Sea conflict between the United States and China.
It is bound to happen and it will happen. Whether a direct confrontation or not, the Philippines is bound to be or already a piece of the Chess game.
You are just speculating too much. You are attributing strategic genius to Duterte where there was no evidence. If you’re really honest, you can see that Duterte’s midnight incoherent ramblings is the real Duterte - confused brain with no strategy.
Well said duterte pivot too china has its up and down but in reality it was a wake up call too the U.S a long time ally yet they act as colonial master during those times.. it was a good move also what marcos is doing at the moment is just a balancing act since duterte has open the doors too china
How about a 'pawn' ?!😑
@@grimreaper3576 And Duterte just visited China, without the blessings of the Philippine government, last month to kowtow. That’s being a lapdog, not a strategist. Wake up.

In short, when you deal with Filipinos, you should be careful because they will leave you once they find a more advantageous side without considering the past favors and the harm you suffer. They just think for themselves.
Like how china thinks, or the US, or any other state. Paramount is "national interest".
Thats the point of being a country theres no friends only interests
Haha, your talking of a common stance that is very common and normal across several sectors of issues worldwide.
That's how everybody work buddy. Welcome to the real world. FYI: you can say same for Swiss and Turkey.
That's not a FIlipino thing mate. That's just how geopolitics works. The Philippines have to act like a sovereign state and make decision based on it's own interest rather than act like a proxy state for world powers. It will have consequences of course but it revealed that just how important the Philippines is in the conflict between US and China.
While vietnam and malaysia is lining to china. Us is funding them better, and while we support and cheer us, they are givibg us crumps what they are giving the other two countries.
I do hope Filipinos would not patronise Chinese cars. Spare parts would become a problem when tension on Taiwan turns to war. Also...it would not make sense buying from somebody who bullies you and disperect your boundaries.
Without China Philippines will slow down it economy and loose out. Others ASEAN countries will benefit. Ended up loose to other ASEAN countries.keep it up Philippines 😊
🤔🤔😵😵🤣😂🤣😂 You are talking crap 😅
Chinese economy is already slowing down, foreign investments there are leaving by the droves. do you think other contries need to partner up with the declining country. Keep it up China, India will replace you 😆
Duterte in foreign relationship prospects has been a failure but for BBM, as for now, He is doing great.
I would't say it was a failure because it made US think of ph a little more seriously. And made us realize that china can't be trusted as a friend. It was not a great success but it was far from being a failure.
How the Philippines don't want China anymore. Better title
I believe don't buy any itim of insikto
The Philippines was never and will never be under china, so it never lost the Philippines.
We are friends with everybody that's why Philippines economy today is booming, everyone should adapt this mindsent
We needed a President like Duterte, not only to save our country from serious threats like that of drug issues ,but also to prepare the path of Marcos to be able to get back to Malakanyang, that we have dreamed and longed for a long period of time.
Every President is unique and different. But President Duterte was found to be extraordinary unique and differrnt. For us, he was/is special, smart and intelligent . We call him Tatay because he has the quality of a supportive and concered Father. His words, his moves his approach and his behaviour cannot easily be judge by wise people. But we his children feel his kindness from our heart.
President Duterte got his chosen presidential
candidate zo be his successor victoriously last election , due to his wise and smart Strategie. I have not found anybody, including expert political analysts from the oppositions that have ever known what he really meant when he said that BBM is a weak person to become a president . It was his way of saying that he likes and trusts Marcos. In reality,he only wanted to comfort the oppositions and the anti Marcos.
Marcos was actually the only hope of President Duterte with for the continueity of his unfinished build, build, build projects which PBBM call " Build Better More".
Marcos and Duterte are unseparable important figures that are making the Philippines great again today in a unique way of working as Team. The two banlance the
difficult dealings and situations that clothe and surround our troubled country.
PBBM HAS DONE HIS JOB DURING HIS FIRST YEAR VERY SUCCESSFULLY. WISE PEOPLE CAN SEE HIS EXTRAORDENARY INNER STRENGTH IN FACING DIFFIRENT TRIALS AND TERRIBLE PUBLIC DEFAMATIONS. HE IS TRULLY NOT LOOKING AT ANYTHING BUT AT THE GOOD OF HIS OWN COUNTRY MEN.
THIS IS THE END OF ABUSIVE LEADERS WHO HAVE ONCE STOOD IN FRONT OF US.
THERE IS TIME FOR EVERYTHING. AND THE TIME FOR US TO BE HAPPY IN OUR COUNTRY HAS NOW COME.
YOU SEE THAT OUR COUNTRY IS NOW PROGRESSING. OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOW TRACKING THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH GOD'S GUIDANCE AND ASSISTANCE.
ONLY THE BLIND WHO HAVE CLEAR EYES DO NOT SEE THE AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT OF OUR PRESIDENT.
(THE ONE THAT HAS SAVED MY LIFE FROM THE POWER OF HATERED IS MY BOLDNESS AND MY ABILITY TO
EXPRESS MYSELF.)
HOW WILL YOU KNOW THE PERSON'S INSIDE IF HE WILL NOT SPEAK HIS MIND AND BRING OUT HIS EMOTION ?
WARS, TROUBLES AND MISUNDERDTANDINGS ARE THE FRUITS OF OUR FAILURE TO EXPRESS OURSELVES IN WORDS AND ACTION . Even this, needs our flexibility and sensibility so that our approach may fit every type of personality, to achieve successfull result . The success of the result of our approach cannot be mesured by type of the reaction our opponnent or people who wrong us may show. Only time will tell the success of our fitted approach.
I just noticed that honest and sensible people have limited place in this world, because many love war more than peace without being aware of it.

Duterte understood the reality of the power dynamics in SEA but he could not do anything. The middle class and most politicians in the Philippines are too Americanised by a US controlled media.
Balancing assumes that the US will forever be stronger than China in East Asia. But the reality is China will likely be the dominant global power by 2050 and is already a comparable power in East Asia today.
China needs to control the South China Sea to ensure its dominance in the region and the Philippines is the main obstacle. China is already prepared for war with the US and Japan, Marcos renewed military cooperation with the US will make it easier for China to justify invading the Philippines to the ASEAN grouping.
Philippines can only hope that China's economy fails, which means that ASEAN economy will also fail. Marcos strategy has no win outcomes for the Philippines.
Duterte was trying to avoid becoming like a drug infested Mexico and find a place in a China dominated East Asia.
PRRD administration was one of the best in shifting a better Philippines for example in stopping it from becoming an illegal drug state country. Maybe, PRRD sided with China at that time when the world pampering China as a Manufacturing and Processing hub of the world for example in the year 2013, US chickens were processed in China and to be sold back to the US. At that time as an ordinary citizen observed that the world was so dependent on China and the Philippines was also so obsessed with how China grows its businesses. It was truly perceived as the Golden Time of the Philippine-China relationship during PRRD as evidenced by providing us with brand-new assault rifles. But sad to say, China was now described as greedy on Spratlys Island like the burden of the Philippines that was weakened by the 1986 People Power Revolution Era. China's invasion (Spratlys, NGCP, black sand, etc) and laser mockings of the Philippines are worsening and unchanging compared to the 3 conquerors of the country. PBBM administration is quite excellent at attaining global economic competitiveness while addressing food shortages as the Department of Agriculture Secretary and strengthening military forces more than his father (e.g. additional world-class military airfields). PBBM administration's only weakness this time is the growing illegal drug activities and Malaysia becomes like China.
Puting a military garrison in the middle of SCS is not acceptable.
