Applause to Sir Jay Batongbakal, answering eloquently representing our right as a nation

Prof. Batungbacal.. I congratulate you for your strong and articulate replies to all the questions. It seems China has an alternate version of reality be it past or present. War is dirty and no one wins. GOD bless the Philippines.

I admire your intellect regarding our history Prof. Batungbacal. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

The host seem to have a bias, making arguments in favor of China (e.g. falklands argument) and against the US and The Philippines. The response time given for the Filipino representative was also cut short and then she claimed that they're run out of time after asking the Chinese representative to answer AGAIN. Thr Chinese representative is also very condescending. He's also not responsive to the question. He also claims stuff such as the agreement to remove sierra madre but the host doesn't even question such claim while she keeps on questioning the claim of The Philippines like how she asked Batongbacal why didn''t The Philippines responded during the dawn of the nine-dash line claim. Also putting words on Batongbacal's mouth by saying that by "international community" Batongbacal only really meant the US. This is such an unprofessional behaviour for a host. I watched this without looking the vid, to my surprise, it was TRT world, an anti-american and leftist orhanization. 😂. Absolutely unprofessional.

His main point is the Philippines promised to move the ship, but the Philippines did not, it lied.

Seeing the Chinese representative starting to interrupt the Filipino representative while he was talking just shows he is in the loosing side of the argument. You can see both the Philippines and US representatives were calm waiting for their turn talking facts while the Chinese end up trying to make meaning to what he is saying so that people would believe him.

Look at the reaction of that Chinese analyst.

So this Chinese analyst got a dose of his own medicine. Look at his hysterical. Speaking while the other person was still speaking 😅

We can certainly see that the Chinese government is just imposing itself to be respected by bullying its neighbors. China has boundary conflict with India, Mongolia, Japan, now the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and even Russia. Even intent to take over a very peaceful Taiwan by force. With these, I can easily conclude that China is very good in commerce but pretty bad as a neighbor.

The UK could claim historic title over the Galapagos because the late Charles Darwin did a scientific expedition in those islands where his theory of evolution by way of natural selection was born. There were Arabs and Indians in the past who had traveled to many different places around the world to conduct scientific studies as well. Should their respective countries be claiming historic titles also? Let's not kid ourselves here. Unless the purpose of the expedition was to permanently settle or effectively occupy a place then it cannot be used to stake a historical claim according to our international laws.

China has a dark legacy from Japanese colonialism for almost 10 years which claimed the lives of 25 million Chinese people! The number of bombs dropped by Japan was more than those dropped by the US and its allies in the 1955-1975 Vietnam War! There is no guarantee that one day China will experience a similar attack from another country not far from Chinese waters! There is always the potential for great powers behind Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan that will threaten China! Japan volume 2 will always be there to conquer China! Throughout modern history China has always been involved in wars with great powers, such as against the US and its allies in the Korean War 1950-1953, facing the Soviet Union in the 1962 border war, facing the US and its allies in the Vietnam War 1955-1975, and finally facing the US and its allies. in the 2001-2021 Afghan occupation. During the US occupation of Afghanistan there was a terror attack from the armed criminal group East Turkestan Islamic Moving (ETIM) in the Xinjiang region. Xinjiang residents experienced deadly terror attacks for 10 years with the last attack in 2015! After 4 major clerics and mosque imams in Xinjiang were killed by the ETIM separatist group, the Chinese authorities assisted the people of Xinjiang in fighting against the ETIM group. It is no longer a secret that the ETIM group received logistical assistance, advanced communications equipment from CIA agents through US and allied military posts in the Xinjiang-Afghanistan-Pakistan border region! China and the Taliban are establishing relations for mutual coordination against the ETIM group on the Chinese side and the ISIS-AL QAEDA group as well as the US occupation on the Taliban side! China provides accurate information about the existence of US and allied military posts on the Xinjiang border to the Taliban to facilitate guerrilla attacks to push back the US military presence from the Xinjiang border! Good and successful cooperation where the ETIM militia captured by the Taliban group was recruited into the Taliban militia! Now the Xinjiang region is developing rapidly with tourism industry, plantations, agriculture, renewable green energy sources, and has become a HALAL tourist zone for Muslim travelers! China is currently clear in its line that GEOPOLITICALLY and GEOSTRATEGICALLY it is absolutely above all else to face any potential threats in its waters and land areas! The ASEAN region has been the target of the US and western allies to become a Balkanization zone for a long time, but because of the Middle East conflict, ASEAN has been neglected! China is here to provide balance in the ASEAN region from the hegemony of the US and western allies! Taiwan is a pebble in CHINA's shoe and there is no guarantee that Taiwan will one day become Japan Volume 2 because of the US power behind it! The Philippines is currently not a threat to CHINA and the Philippines is just a puppet for the US! If the Philippines always acts to provoke CHINA then don't blame CHINA when one day the Philippines will face a series of conflicts between armed groups, separatist movements who want to establish their own state on the islands of Mindanao, Sulu and Palalawan! These armed groups include the Moro National Liberation Front, Moro Islamic Liberation Front, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, and Abu Sayyaf. It would be better for the Philippines to seek peaceful cooperation with CHINA! The history of the civilization of great nations in terms of territorial struggles has always existed! Great power is superior and is always dominant and a fact! If the USA is able to own the Hawaiian islands, why can't China, which is closer to the South China Sea, control it?? If England has Diego Garcia in the South Indian Ocean and the Fakland Islands in Argentina's front yard why can't China control Spratley?? So let's see how Turkiye is attacking Kurdistan fighter groups in Turkey, Iraq and Syria and what the Turkiye military is doing to the Kurds is like the ZIONISTS killing GAZA citizens in Palestine!!! So far CHINA has never done what Turkiye did to Kurdish fighters to deal with the situation in Xinjiang! There were no bombs, no barrage of bullets shooting at the houses of Uighyur residents in Xinjiang and everything was done firmly but measuredly without causing terrible impacts as we saw the horror tragedy of the deaths of thousands of babies and children in GAZA as well as the deadly attacks on many Kurdish residents by the Turkiye army!

Duterte’s former spokesperson, Harry Roque, has said the Philippines entered into a “gentleman’s agreement” with China during Duterte’s term that restricts Manila from sending repair materials to a World War-II era ship that’s been serving as the nation’s outpost in the Second Thomas Shoal for about a quarter of a century.

Gentleman's discussion is just euphemism for Duterte got bribed by Xi to not send resupply ships as long as they are in power. Well, the Duterte's are no longer in power, and likely never will again in the next few decades at least. China is on a ticking clock to fence the South China Sea and invade Taiwan, and since they can't bribe the current Philippine government, they are resorting to more aggressive methods. Beijing is done.

@@besarlim781 Don't twist history. This treaty was overruled by the Treaty of Paris. If we follow this treaty, the Philippines will have absolute rights over the islands. But Filipinos are understanding and agreed to the UNCLOS. The Treaty of Paris boundaries was reduced to an 12 nautical mile territorial sea and an additional 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone. Basically, this is to have the sea free to navigate and uphold a rules-based peace and order. But China changed that because they militarized the illegally built islands. China is the culprit that destroyed the peace in the region. China and Taiwan might be in kahoots in this on since China does not even try to take Ito Aba even though they have it surrounded. I can't trust these two states. They are both Chinese and in my books, they are crooks.

I think the real problem in the South China Sea is neither legal nor historical. The problem is how the Chinese think, as exemplied by the Chinese panelist here. Clearly, the Chinese mindset is vastly different from ours. The Filipino professor has defined it clearly, the Chinese claim is vague and bereft of any credible evidence.

China has a dark legacy from Japanese colonialism for almost 10 years which claimed the lives of 25 million Chinese people! The number of bombs dropped by Japan was more than those dropped by the US and its allies in the 1955-1975 Vietnam War! There is no guarantee that one day China will experience a similar attack from another country not far from Chinese waters! There is always the potential for great powers behind Taiwan, the Philippines, Japan that will threaten China! Japan volume 2 will always be there to conquer China! Throughout modern history China has always been involved in wars with great powers, such as against the US and its allies in the Korean War 1950-1953, facing the Soviet Union in the 1962 border war, facing the US and its allies in the Vietnam War 1955-1975, and finally facing the US and its allies. in the 2001-2021 Afghan occupation. During the US occupation of Afghanistan there was a terror attack from the armed criminal group East Turkestan Islamic Moving (ETIM) in the Xinjiang region. Xinjiang residents experienced deadly terror attacks for 10 years with the last attack in 2015! After 4 major clerics and mosque imams in Xinjiang were killed by the ETIM separatist group, the Chinese authorities assisted the people of Xinjiang in fighting against the ETIM group. It is no longer a secret that the ETIM group received logistical assistance, advanced communications equipment from CIA agents through US and allied military posts in the Xinjiang-Afghanistan-Pakistan border region! China and the Taliban are establishing relations for mutual coordination against the ETIM group on the Chinese side and the ISIS-AL QAEDA group as well as the US occupation on the Taliban side! China provides accurate information about the existence of US and allied military posts on the Xinjiang border to the Taliban to facilitate guerrilla attacks to push back the US military presence from the Xinjiang border! Good and successful cooperation where the ETIM militia captured by the Taliban group was recruited into the Taliban militia! Now the Xinjiang region is developing rapidly with tourism industry, plantations, agriculture, renewable green energy sources, and has become a HALAL tourist zone for Muslim travelers! China is currently clear in its line that GEOPOLITICALLY and GEOSTRATEGICALLY it is absolutely above all else to face any potential threats in its waters and land areas! The ASEAN region has been the target of the US and western allies to become a Balkanization zone for a long time, but because of the Middle East conflict, ASEAN has been neglected! China is here to provide balance in the ASEAN region from the hegemony of the US and western allies! Taiwan is a pebble in CHINA's shoe and there is no guarantee that Taiwan will one day become Japan Volume 2 because of the US power behind it! The Philippines is currently not a threat to CHINA and the Philippines is just a puppet for the US! If the Philippines always acts to provoke CHINA then don't blame CHINA when one day the Philippines will face a series of conflicts between armed groups, separatist movements who want to establish their own state on the islands of Mindanao, Sulu and Palalawan! These armed groups include the Moro National Liberation Front, Moro Islamic Liberation Front, Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, and Abu Sayyaf. It would be better for the Philippines to seek peaceful cooperation with CHINA! The history of the civilization of great nations in terms of territorial struggles has always existed! Great power is superior and is always dominant and a fact! If the USA is able to own the Hawaiian islands, why can't China, which is closer to the South China Sea, control it?? If England has Diego Garcia in the South Indian Ocean and the Fakland Islands in Argentina's front yard why can't China control Spratley?? So let's see how Turkiye is attacking Kurdistan fighter groups in Turkey, Iraq and Syria and what the Turkiye military is doing to the Kurds is like the ZIONISTS killing GAZA citizens in Palestine!!! So far CHINA has never done what Turkiye did to Kurdish fighters to deal with the situation in Xinjiang! There were no bombs, no barrage of bullets shooting at the houses of Uighyur residents in Xinjiang and everything was done firmly but measuredly without causing terrible impacts as we saw the horror tragedy of the deaths of thousands of babies and children in GAZA as well as the deadly attacks on many Kurdish residents by the Turkiye army!
