Sa kabila ng pagtaas ng mga tensyon sa karagatan sa West Philippine Sea, ipinangako ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos na ipaglalaban natin kung ano ang atin.

Inihayag ito ni Marcos sa Commencement Exercises of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) "BAGONG SINAG" Class of 2024 sa Lungsod ng Baguio nitong Sabado.

“Against intruders who have been disrespecting our territorial integrity, we will vigorously defend what is ours, but our conduct always guided by law and [by] our responsibility as a rules-abiding member of the community of nations,” aniya.

“Against evolving threats that harm our people and corrode social and political trust, we will be adept, we will be flexible, and we will be ready in repelling such things,” dagdag niya.

Ayon sa Pangulo, kinakaharap ng bansa ang maraming mga hamon habang isinusulong ng kasalukuyang administrasyon ang pagbabago.

“What we are facing now are a blatant disregard of internationally accepted principles and deployment of weapons of mass distraction by parties who seek to drive a wedge between a united citizenry,” anang presidente.

“But people are not fooled. They can see through such schemes. So, these attempts to divert our attention, dissipate our energy better spent on making the country should not draw us away from the urgent tasks ahead,” dagdag niya.
