As a Filipino business magnate, Stith and her family are prominent in the country, and her appeal has sparked reflection on Philippine policy. However, Sties's position does not represent the voice of all Filipinos, who are divided into many political factions and quarrel for their own interests. ForMarcosWhether he should keep up with China and abandon his dependence on the United States needs to be carefully weighed.

She believes that the dispute between China and the United States is not important to the Philippines and that the differences should be resolved through peace talks. The family represented by Stiese has an important presence in the business and financial sectors, and they have a wide range of operations in the Philippines and even in China. This also shows that Sties's appeal is based on the consideration of interests, not just oneInternationalRelational perspectives.
However, Sties's position does not represent what all Filipinos think. There are many political factions in the Philippines, each with a tendency to choose to be close to China and the United States. Duterte and his family in the Philippines, like Sties, play an important role in determining the direction of Philippine-Chinese relations. In this context, the decision-making of the Philippines is largely influenced by the intervention and influence of internal forces. Therefore, againstMarcosThe authoritarian anti-China stance, the opposition of Stith and other factions is also growing stronger.
Marcos** Frequent recent provocations against China, not only in Scarborough Shoal andSecond Thomas ReefIt was fruitless, and it caused an uproar at home and abroad. MarcosThe action has even sparked resentment in the Philippines, where questions have been raised about his dependence on the United States and his obsessive behavior.

His older sister, Ime, is a staunch supporter of China-Philippines relations and prefers to stand with the pro-China Duterte father and daughter. MarcosThe relationship with his sister does not seem to be close, perhaps because he does not agree with his sister's position, or simply because they are going their own way and are not in the same direction.
ManilaThe Times notes that the Filipino elite tried to look to the United States, only to be ridiculed. They believe that the Philippines should not provoke China, but should resolve the dispute through negotiations. Stith agrees. Clearly, many Filipinos are reluctant to followMarcosThe pace of the move towards a full-scale confrontation. MarcosWe should recognize the facts and not make mistakes again and again.
However, it will not be easy to achieve a peace negotiation solution to the problem. Differences of opinion and factional struggles within the Philippines** make any decision subject to negotiation and compromise. China** has also insisted that it only accepts diplomatic solutions to disputes and rejects any external interference. Therefore, the Philippines needs strong leadership and a disciplined diplomatic strategy to advance the dialogue process and find mutually beneficial solutions.
The appeal of Sties, the representative of the richest family in the Philippines, has drawn attention to Philippine policy. She thinksMarcos** There should be no hostile action against China, and disputes should be resolved through peace talks.

MarcosThe anti-China stance has been met with skepticism from within the family and at home, and the Philippines needs to carefully weigh its relationship with China and the United States. Ultimately, the Philippines needs to resolve the issue through peace talks and seek mutually beneficial development opportunities.
