The Philippine president said that if there is a conflict across the Taiwan Strait, the Philippines would not be able to stay out of it.

Overestimating oneself! If there is a war in Taiwan, the Philippine president said he would not remain neutral!

Philippine President Marcos Jr. made a bold statement, saying that because the Philippines is close to Taiwan, if there is a conflict, the Philippines cannot remain neutral.

"To be honest, if there is a confrontation between a neighboring country and the United States over the Taiwan issue, the Philippines cannot remain neutral, simply because of our natural geographical location."

"So if you think about it, if there is a full-scale war, we will be drawn into it, and we will have to defend our territory and rights."

Marcos Jr. stated that the Philippines would enter Taiwan under the pretext of protecting Filipino workers there: "We must go there, or find a way to go there, to bring our people back, just as we have done whenever they find themselves in a conflict zone. For me, this will be our most pressing concern, at least initially."

"We will immediately mobilize all our forces to get our people out. Considering that you are in the center of a war zone, this is not an easy task."
