Rigoberto Tiglao (the author) was Presidential Spokesperson and Chief of Staff under President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (2001-2010).

A poorly written article that ignores reality and demands the actions of others to fulfill its promise of violence. The author wants others to fight for his opinion and gives no opportunity for diplomacy to work.

Talking and reaching an agreement takes time. Starting a fight takes no time. But if talks fail, no one gets hurt and we try again. If a fight starts there is no going back. The author wants people to die so he can stay right. He isn’t worth the effort of listening.

Trash article.

It tries to argue that Filipinos are stupid for contesting the islands, but China is totally wicked smart and recognised by the West as legitimate owners of the disputed waters (as if) so it’s cool for them too.

Being a victim of Chinese territorial aggression isn’t the Philippines fault, nor would we laugh at them as the victims here.
