Photo contains a quote of IBON Executive Director Sonny Africa on Pres. Marcos Jr's speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue 2024.

The quote goes:

When Pres. Marcos Jr spoke about "assertive actions that aim to propagate excessive and baseless claims through force, intimidation, and deception" he might as well have been talking about the US' violent, criminal and imperialist aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Vietnam and other countries.

The PH can help uphold the rule of law by refusing complicity with the biggest violator of the rules-based international order. The peaceful resolution of maritime disputes isn't promoted by being party to US militarism.
