Secretary Del Rosario is one unheralded bureaucrat that dwarfs this Yasay who has no prior experience whatsover in diplomacy.

PNoy's statement

Salute to all names mentioned here. Mabuhay!

Yasay should be kicked out of the DFA.

Walang ka kuwenta ang DFA press conference. Left many people wondering "WTF!!!"

Now what?

Are we sending paratroopers and amphibious troops to reclaim the islands?

Maybe we should apologize then?

It's so frustrating that some Filipinos (including the highest official) trivialize efforts to claim what is rightfully ours. Instead of figuring out ways on how to further our claims, they instead offer reasons on why those who are eager not do it.

Should we go to war then? Definitely not! On the first place, President Duterte is the first one to mention about war. This is a perfect example of a "straw man argument".
