While the campaign period for the 2022 national election is approaching, aspirants for the national position especially the Presidential and Vice-Presidential aspirants are trying their best sell themselves to voters. They use various ways to win votes and use all platforms to get the voters' approval. While we have been entertained with the political dramas in the country, our soldiers on board our resupply ferries were facing the threats from the chinese coast guards who blocked their way and fired water cannons at them simply because they try to navigate in the West Philippine Sea to give supplies to our ships (BRP Sierra Madre) in Ayungin.
The attack drew outrage from world powers, including the United States, and incensed no less than President Rodrigo Duterte who is known for his pro-China policy. In an ASEAN event, Duterte delivered a rare rebuke to China on Monday, November 22, saying the Philippines abhors the attack.
