Ginmalatumat ni President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. nga importante nga magpabilin nga paprehas an posisyon han Pilipinas ha pagpapatuman han 2016 Arbitral Award ha West Philippine Sea, mahitungod nga usa ini ha pinakaimportante nga istoryahon para ha nasud
Ginpahayag ini han Presidente mahuman pakianhan kun nababaraka hiya mga posible magbag-o an polisiya an susrunod nga administrasyon ngan maapektaran an mga nagin pitad han presente nga administrasyon ha pagpapatuman han arbitral ruling.
“Well, of course, it’s a very important issue for the Philippines, if you’re asking me if I’m worried that the policy of the Philippines will change after I leave office, of course I am. Because it’s almost—not quite, but it’s almost an existential issue for us.
Because maybe not existential for ordinary Filipinos, but for the state of the Philippines, the Philippine Republic. So we really have to be consistent in that,” pahayag ni Presidente Marcos.
Sumala kan Marcos, an suporta han Canada ngan iba pa nga mga nasud ha arbitral award in nagpapamatuod nga an dig-on han Pilipinas in subay ha internasyunal nga balaod, pagdepensa ha teritoryal nga intergridad, ngan paggamit han soberano nga katungod han nasud.
Iginduon han Presidente nga haros waray isyu nga mas masobra pa ha importansya han istoryahon ha West Philippine Sea para ha Republika ng Pilipinas.
“And I think the rightness in our positioning, in terms of the way we position the Philippines in our foreign policy, vis-à-vis the arbitral agreement, arbitral award is validated by countries like Canada who support it and see it as simply an enforcement of international law and the defense of our territorial integrity and the exercise of our sovereign rights within our sovereign territory. So it is a very enormous, there are no issues before any president that are greater than that. Some are equally important, but that is as important as anything else that we are having to deal with,” dugang pa ni Presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
