“But you know, Filipino patience has also its limits. And I know that…one day, I hope it never happens, that the Filipino will rise up and say enough is enough,” the Filipino diplomat said, hoping this stance would be relayed to those challenging the country’s territorial rights. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered the Department of Foreign Affairs to send a note verbale to China to ask Beijing to explain its “more benign” account of an incident involving the Chinese Coast Guard taking rocket debris from Filipino soldiers in the disputed waters of the South China Sea.
