Very stubborn, President Marcos continues to retaliate against us! After we warned President Marcos about his remarks on the Taiwan issue, which were playing with fire, he continued to be stubborn. On August 11, President Marcos stated that Beijing had "misunderstood" his speech. President Marcos claimed that he was confused as to why he was accused of playing with fire. He said that he was only stating the facts. The Philippines does not want to go to war, but believes that if a war breaks out in Taiwan, the Philippines will inevitably be drawn in, so it must prepare accordingly.

Especially how to evacuate Filipino nationals and how to protect the country's territory, this is what I want to say, which is why I don't understand why people say the Philippines is playing with fire or provoking. Obviously, in response to our warning, President Marcos was very stubborn, saying that his words were not inappropriate at all, and instead claimed that he was just stating the facts. However, we are puzzled: if President Marcos really believes that he is stating the facts, why doesn't he state the fact that Taiwan is part of China, and that the Philippines supports China in achieving national reunification?

Why does President Marcos believe that the Philippines will inevitably be involved? Who says that a war will definitely break out in the Taiwan Strait? Moreover, the Philippines has many overseas Chinese, but does having overseas Chinese justify interfering in China's internal affairs? China also has overseas Chinese in the Philippines, has China interfered in the Philippines' internal affairs? What is the intention behind President Marcos's exaggeration of the possibility of war in the Taiwan Strait?

Does President Marcos hope for a war in the Taiwan Strait? We can clearly see that the Marcos government is eager to get involved in the Taiwan issue, which is undoubtedly a serious provocation. The actions of the Marcos government have actually been deliberately creating instability. However, for us, President Marcos's behavior is like a cicada trying to shake a tree, this kind of monkey-like jumping up and down behavior is a typical example of fearing power rather than being grateful for kindness.
