OVER 1,000 rallyists urged the public to show support for the initiatives of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. over the West Philippine Sea.
The Alyansa Bantay Kapayapaan at Demokrasya (ABKD) said that they support the policies of the Marcos administration to fight and protect the country’s territories in the WPS and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
“Ang susi para tuldukan ang pangha-harass, pananakot, at pangbu-bully ng China Coast Guard (CCG) sa mga barko ng Pilipinas at mangingisdang Pilipino sa WPS at EEZ ng Pilipinas ay ang pagkakaisa ng mamamayan at ng pamahalaan,” ABKD leader Rodolfo Villena Jr. said.
The rallyists came from Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, Laguna, Cavite and Metro Manila. During the program, the held a cultural presentation where they presented effigies of the CCG ship, former President Duterte, and Chinese President Xi.
“Ipinapakita namin sa aming maikling pagsasadula at pangtatanghal na sa tingin namin, kung tayo ay magkakaisa at sama-samang kikilos ay magagawa nating maresolba ang hindi pagkakaunawaan sa maayos na pamamaraan kahit tayo ay hina-harass at ginagamitan pagbomba ng Water Canon ng China Coast Guard ay kailanman hindi tayo gagamit ng dahas para sa paggiit ng ating mga karapatan para sa kapayapaan,” Villena said.
The protesters ended the program by again asking for unity to defend and fight the mandate of the Marcos administration against all threats of disruption and destabilization.
“Filipinos do not yield! We stand and protect PBBM,” the protesters said.
