Answer: Indigeneous Datu (Chieftain) Lapulapu Circa 1521. Circa 2024 Philippine Navy on humanitarian mission in Philippine exclusive economic sea zone June 17 attacked by China Coast Guard military. News report wrong in saying the US-Ph Mutual Defense Treaty implementation requires US Congress approval. Wrong. Response of allies will depend on their own interest, timetable, and sked. In the meantime, we need more external defense support, explore more international options, and activate a more seasoned Foreign Affairs Department that can recommend sanctions on the representatives of those who unlawfully attacked Philippine forces
Philippine Navy Legal Dept (or the Ph OSG) should preserve the evidence of the unlawful armed attack of China Coast Guard: Medical certificates, affidavits, videos and photos, and object evidence (the rubber boat, inventory of equipment, etc.), bag and tag each of them as exhibits: China Coast Guard is prosecutable under international criminal laws. Let’s start the work now po.
PS: As of 7:50am, Teleradyo still keeps reporting that implementation of the MDT requires approval of the US Congress. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong po, please, i am appealing to Teleradyo to please stop po this misinformation.
Video-record by Team Philippines, reported by news organizations :
i muted the sonic warfare employed by the China Coast Guard against the Philippine Navy in the embedded video below to protect the eardrums of viewers, do not unmute it, if it gets unmuted, you can mute it by tapping the sound icon at the lower left side of the YouTube video… unless you want your eardrums harmed:
