as a filipino this agreement is very much welcome. China has been dictating our fishermans and abusing their military might.
Just imagine filipino fishermen not allowed to catch fish to the Philippine sea
As a Filipino. China missed the chance to lead Asia and boost economic growth throughout the continent. They took the lead in dominating and invading and occupying the territories of other Asian nations, instead of unifying the nations in the region for peace, stability, and prosperity. China has fought nearly all of the well-known Asian nations: Japan, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, etc. Tama na. Sobra na. No to bully China.

CCP has shown its true colours.... many times. Stealing PH land and building airbases, violently attacking Vietnamese army on their fringe territory, badgering the country of Taiwan with fighter jet fly-byes..... There is no chance of true partnership with the Chinese. They looked at PH as lapdogs. They do not respect the rule of law

China is becoming greedy that's why. Even our poor fishermen are being harassed by them. Do they expect neighboring countries take sides for them? In your dreams China.
China missed the opportunity.
If the Philippines did not remove the airbase and asked the us to leave in the past, china will not build artificial islands in the west phil sea. Now its the repercussion, it'a a sad circumstance that Philippines have always need the US to defend their waters.

True. It was clever of China to have terrorist from Pakistan and Saudi attack on 911 so America could put troops on the left of Iran " Iraq" then to the right of Iran " Afghanistan". America civilians only look at celebrities, not maps of the world.

US made the country dead poor while it was already a prospering nation in spanish times, US abandoned Philippines bec it was too costly for them to maintain the archipelago thus they established a commonwealth nation to gradually separate ways, they don't have any plans to absorb the country in statehood bec we're too brown and overpopulated, they don't want filipinos freely moving to different states while they are having racial issues with african americans.
