Panawagan ni PBBM vs Chinese agression sa WPS suportado ng NSC

MANILA, Philipppines- Suportado ng National Security Council (NSC) ang panawagan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa Tsina na itigil na nito ang agresyon sa West Philippine Sea (WPS) kapalit ng pag-alis sa Typhon missile launchers ng Estados Unidos sa bansa.

Sa kalatas, sinabi ni National Security Adviser Secretary Eduardo Año na umaasa sila na tatapatan ng Tsina ang “sincere gesture” ni Pangulong Marcos “in the spirit of goodwill and amity.”

“The NSC fully supports the President’s call to the People’s Republic of China to respect Philippine sovereign rights and jurisdiction and stop aggressive and coercive behavior in the WPS,” ang sinabi ni Año.

“…The President has made a sincere gesture to the People’s Republic of China which we hope will be reciprocated in the spirit of goodwill and amity among our two great nations,” dagdag na wika nito.

Sinabi naman ni Armed Forces of the Philippines chief General Romeo Brawner Jr. na ang AFP ”stands firmly in upholding our sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

”From day one, the President has made it unequivocally clear that we will not surrender a square inch of our territory to any foreign power. The AFP fully embraces this commitment and remains resolute in defending our sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea,” ang sinabi ni Brawner.

”The illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive actions of the China Coast Guard (CCG) and the People’s Liberation Army – Navy (PLA-N) in our maritime domain must stop immediately,” aniya pa rin sabay sabing, ”These reckless actions threaten regional stability and undermine both the sovereignty of the Philippines and the principles of a rules-based international order.”

Nauna rito, sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos na handa niyang tanggalin at alisin sa bansa ang Typhon missile launchers ng Estados Unidos kung ititigil na ng Tsina ang agresyon nito sa West Philippines Sea (WPS).

Tinukoy ni Año na palagi namang isinusulong ng Pilipinas ang mapayapa at diplomatikong hakbang na nakahanay sa hangarin nito na “de-escalate” o pahupain ang tumataas na tensyon sa WPS.

“As directed by the President, our actions in the WPS remain compliant with international law and established norms of cooperation and diplomacy. We see this as contributory to peace and stability in the region, which will benefit not only the Philippines but the entire region,” aniya pa rin.

Hinggil naman sa US Typhon missile launchers, tinuran ni Año na ang deployment nito sa bansa ay “purely meant for defense purposes and is not directed against any nation.”

“It was deployed to the Philippines during the 2024 Balikatan exercises singularly meant to improve readiness and interoperability with troops and equipment from other countries, including the United States,” ang sinabi ni Año.

“As such, its continued deployment in the country is essential in our efforts to improve our defense capabilities,” dagdag na pahayag nito. Kris Jose
