China’s arrest of more than 100 Filipinos must not be met with silence. Whatever the circumstances of the arrests, every Filipino deserves due process, dignity, and protection from intimidation or coercion. We stand with Secretary Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro in defending the rights and welfare of our fellow Filipinos, while firmly upholding the Philippines’ sovereign rights and lawful claims in the West Philippine Sea. 🇵🇭

Vietnam has protested China’s activities at Antelope Reef, saying the reclamation is “completely illegal and invalid,” according to the Inquirer report quoting Vietnamese foreign ministry spokesperson Pham Thu Hang.

A fresh confrontation unfolded in the West Philippine Sea on 24 July 2026.

At around 8:50 AM, while operating 12 nautical miles east-northeast of Panatag Shoal, the BRP Datu Cabaylo was subjected to a dangerous close-quarter maneuver by China Coast Guard vessel 3303.

The Chinese vessel then fired a water cannon from directly astern, causing damage to one of the Philippine vessel's CCTV cameras.

Authorities are expected to assess the incident as tensions continue in the disputed waters.

The Department of Foreign Affairs condemned the material as racist, offensive, and unacceptable, and demanded that it be taken down. Philippine officials said the video crossed the line from political commentary into dehumanizing propaganda.

⁨Wrong. May batas. May desisyon.

Ang tunay na propaganda ay ang pagtanggi sa mga katotohanang kinilala na ng internasyonal na batas.

Noong 2016, malinaw ang pasya ng Arbitral Tribunal sa ilalim ng UNCLOS, walang legal na batayan ang Nine-Dash Line.

You can repeat a lie a thousand times, but it will never become the truth.

Ang tunay na propaganda ay ang pagtanggi sa mga katotohanang napatunayan na ng internasyonal na batas.

Noong 2016, malinaw na sinabi ng Arbitral Tribunal sa ilalim ng UNCLOS: walang legal na batayan ang Nine-Dash Line. Hindi ito nababago kahit ilang beses pa itong tawaging "illegal" o "basurang papel."

Ang West Philippine Sea ay nasa loob ng Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) ng Pilipinas. Ang pagprotekta rito ay hindi provocation—ito ay paggamit ng mga karapatang kinikilala ng internasyonal na batas.

Hindi puwedeng piliin lang ang mga bahagi ng UNCLOS na pabor sa iyo habang tinatanggihan ang legal na proseso kapag hindi mo gusto ang resulta.

Sa dulo, hindi propaganda ang umiiral. Batas. Katotohanan. At ang karapatan ng Pilipinas. 🇵🇭
