Philippines ignores Vietnam’s expansion in Magsaysay Reef, even Thanks them

Inquirer: Teodoro thanks Vietnam for backing PH Position in South China Sea Arbitration; Radio Free Asia (RFA): Vietnam rapidly builds up South China Sea Reef

It is the absolute height of Hypocrisy and st*p*dity that ails this Country’s Anti-China Centric Foreign Policy under the Administration of Bobong Bong Marcos (BBM) when it actually seems to be willing to give up its Territories to any other Country except China. 

First of all, it went on and COMPLETELY ignored Vietnam’s expansion of Barque Canada Reef which the Philippines is also claiming and calls it the Magsaysay Reef or Mascarado Reef as I had written about a couple of Weeks ago. 

Vietnam expanded that Reef to four times its size and the Philippine Government didn’t say anything about it, as in ZERO, as if it it didn’t happen, at least to them. Now to add Insult to Injury, you now have the Defense Secretary himself shaking the Hand of Vietnam’s own Defense Secretary. 

And to top it that, we are even making Joint Working Group Meetings with them, like when we received a Delegation from the Viet Nam Air Defense Air Force (VN ADAF) recently. 

Let’s not forget that Vietnam occupies the most number of Features in the Spratly Islands, most of which we are claiming also, including Magsaysay/Mascarado Reef. Also remember what happened to Pugad Island where the Vietnamese lured our Soldiers away from the Island, and then took over it? 

What about all those, are we giving up our Claims to those now that we are so “Friendly” with Vietnam? If so, why can’t we do the same with China, aber? Because the United States (US) doesn’t want us to?
