Pilipinas, nagiging praktikal lang sa pagpapaigting ng alyansa sa ibang mga bansa ayon sa isang eksperto

Transcript

00:00The current administration is only becoming practical.

00:04This is what the political analyst, Professor Antonio Contreras, thinks

00:08about the maximization of the Philippines in the U.S.

00:12where the country has a mutual defense treaty,

00:15even the expansion of alliances with other countries

00:19like Japan, Australia, and the European Union.

00:22Is this an effective way to bully or to be aggressive with China?

00:28Meanwhile, the next time the Philippines talked to China

00:32to ease tensions, according to Contreras,

00:35the Philippines will continue to undermine its rights

00:38in the territory of China.

00:41Contreras also defended diplomacy again

00:45because the country showed resistance against China.

00:50What we are saying to China is that we are a small country

00:55but we will not give up easily.

00:59We will be serious.

01:01We will be brave.

01:03It's just like bullying.

01:05If you show to the bully that even though you are small,

01:09you know how to assert your rights

01:13and you have stronger allies than him

01:16that he can face,

01:18you will be brave.
