PH rebuked by US, Australia, Japan on sea dispute ruling

This is the first time that the Philippines has received a rebuke from its allies, the US, Australia, and Japan to defend and urge China to abide by the ruling it had won last year.

This thing is a reminder that we, as a sovereign nation duly recognized in the UNCLOS, a UN tribunal ruling  must in itself demand China to recognize the world body in that respect.

Unless we urge China to remind her to respect the decision recently, we will not gain respect either from the eyes of China with this behavior.

The rebuke is a reminder also that the Philippines is an ally of these countries in case anything harm is done to us by China. That none in the real world, that all other countries will not turn support for the Philippines if we do the right thing under the court of law.

The foreign policy of the current administration is  disadvantageous to the country and to the next generation of Filipinos. We have already deprived them of their future and because this government has already ceded them to the Chinese, our generation must be ashamed of ourselves.

We live and operate by  the law, and internationally, we should give that law a LIFE. Unless we take and enforce our rights over the WPS, the UN body which is the source of  our rights, will held us in contempt for not asserting it purposely for the sake of the UN body. That by next time, if we file similar case, who will believe? 

We are already a weakling in the ASEAN region, and we still allow that status and poverty of our country in the internatonal audience get advanced.  

Admitted that China is a superpower, but let's show that she cannot be more powerful than UN, and our stand today is that we are walking away with our obligation as part of the body regarded for a member nation.
