Philippines belongs to CHINA?! WHAT did she say again?!

I'm really worried about this growing issue, and very sad as well. I'm from the Philippines, and those comments I've read from your link worries me a lot, to the point that I'm fighting back tears now. I don't want war, and more fights but I know that's impossible. Disputes between countries are not foreign in my ears but I've lived all my life in country peacefully, and I'm really grateful to the power above to have given me my life in a peaceful era. But these news and issues disappoints and frightens me, I know many Filipinos feel the same way too. And many would fight tooth and nails, whether verbally or physically when push comes to shove. I've read many flaming and hating comments from both sides and these worries me more. The least that they could do is too add fuel to the flames. Defend their own country in a diplomatic way! Insulting both sides wouldn't do any good to this issue anyway. Everyone want to be respected, but we should earn it right? So we should know how to respect others too, these words are not for Chinese too, but for Filipinos as well. Make love not War!

I haven't read the news but I am not new to this topic. I'd like to think of these people more as radicals rather than patriots. I think every country and religion has these. It's not really a laughing matter, although I still find it horribly ridiculous, and I do hope that this will be settled in a diplomatic way. Nobody really wins in a war. It's just a game of business and politics, where the cost is mostly human lives.

When two countries are in dispute of something, as in this case a territory, all this misinformation campaigns and provocations, are common, I don´t think this is nothing to be taken all too seriously, although, I understand your concerns.

It's plain and simple greed. Scarborough Shoal is very, very near the Philippines while China is thousands of kilometers away from the contested Scarborough Shoal. Why are they claiming this? I think they want to conquer in order to expand their territory. Hey, China, the world is watching!

I read it on the news. It is really big fault and not nice also. How they could do a big mistake like that when it is related to another country....

No one belongs to any one. We all have equal rights and privileges. I believe, Phillipines should exert some more effort to defend our sovereignty. I am against any abuse or any ambitious actions and I should do my part even how small it is.

Hello Chiyosan, It was actually said by a female chinese News anchor regarding this kind of issue. i have watch the youtube video and it was nuts, they are obviously out of their minds, i think this is what happens when the Chinese Government totally owns the country with out press freedom, they make the press brainwashed and delushioned. though, it was a conversation in chinese unfortunately, one of our own people understand what they just said. not a referral link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiudNjxTdg4

Oh my dear Philippines.. what happened? Our government must do something before things get late. We have so many things to be taken cared of.. And for that woman, I am very sorry for her.. She might need a refresher course.

I haven't read the news, so it was reporter's mistake, am I right?

Its funny that some Chinese bloggers attributed her booboo for her being so 'patriotic'. I almost fell off my chair laughing. Like these stupid people can only say what their government wants them to say and they have a grand delusion that they are patriotic. Frankly, they are just like puppets and dogs on a short leash. Maybe eating too many fetus affected their puny brains.

This is really very weird. How can the Philippines possibly belong to China? totally not possible. I hope they just made a mistake and they are not serious about it.

Think we just have to be thankful to God for the freedom of speech and media that we still enjoy and had fought very hard to earn. OMG if that happened in the Philipines, probably MTRCB( movie and television review classification board) would already suspend the program for making such an irresponsible and dangerous statement, perhaps she would be joining the band of brothers program that got suspended. We have something to be proud of and i would say really proud of, hope and pray that we do not sacrifice defending it again

I hope this won't break into war.. I mean, lots of innocent people will get killed if China will solve this thing through strength. It's such a sad thing to think of people getting killed just because of an island they both are claiming.. If war will happen, then no country will really win it but people in both will be the one who'll lose everything. :(

I don't know what to think. If should I laugh or be mad of what Chinese people are talking about. They own the whole Philippines? Oh God, they must be crazy. They're just making the whole problem bigger and I am hoping that they would settle this nonsense ASAP.

hope this matter will resolve peacefully...

Philippine belong to China, may be that newscaster had just crawled out from his cave after long period of hibernation. hehehe.... that must be the most absurd news i ever read for this week. China may have reconstructed a new world map for its domestic users and media network in the year 2012, that places all Philippine's island within the great red China's territorial boundary. You bet next year, there will be another new world map that will include another smaller neighbor under China sovereignty.

hope s that it was just a mistake does she apologized yet?

I watched it after you posted it here in mylot. It is hard to comment now because I don't understand their language but from what I read in youtube and elsewhere, the reporter apparently just made a mistake. She was referring to the Scarborough Shoal after all. What's making us rage (I guess) are the comments of some of the Chinese people. Instead of accepting their fault on this one, they turn it into their own definition of 'nationalistic act'. Well, nobody really wins in war. I hope God will touch our souls so we could all accept humility and humanity.

China is the number one economy in asia right now. They could even start a nuclear war if they want. We just need to make diplomatic terms here. USA is just boasting its military power here and we know Philippines depends on the US. But still proud of Filipinos.

I am shocked at CHina being such a bully over the Shoal. I had no idea that propoganda was being tossed around over there like it is. I too, feel bad for what the Fillipino people are going through. I hope you all better days and wish you all Gods Blessings in these terrible days before Gods return.
