The Philippines' recent rhetoric on the South China Sea issue is a surprise, as it seeks to circumvent China's code of conduct in the South China Sea and cooperates with the United States on joint patrols. However, the Philippines** may not realize that its domestic problems are urgent and are heading for a crisis. According to the Manila Bulletin, former Philippine House Speaker Alvarez believes that the most important thing for the Philippines at present is to deal with domestic affairs, rather than international disputes such as arguing with China over the South China Sea. He even had the audacity to suggest that Mindanao should seek independence if Marcos Jr. continues to push the country into war. These two sentences have made it clear that the fierce struggle in the Philippines will break out again. Marcos Jr. and Duterte each represent two different camps, and their lines and positions are different, leading to deepening contradictions, and it is only a matter of time before a struggle breaks out. This time, the former speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives, as a member of the Duterte family's forces, clearly put the political struggle on the table. Although Duterte has left the political scene, the influence he has unleashed remains enormous. The provocation was spearheaded not by the Duterte faction, but by Marcos Jr., who is backed by the United States. His main target was Duterte's daughter, Sarah, who was accused of abusing her status as a deputy and then threatening to accuse her of using Chinese to deliver a congratulatory speech during China's National Day in the name of "treason." Marcos Jr.'s preparations for Sarah's launch are ready. In order to maintain his daughter's image, Duterte announced not long ago that he would have to return to run for the Senate or deputy if his daughter was **. That explains why Alvarez sent an impassioned signal that Mindanao might seek independence, a warning to Marcos Jr. It can be said that although Duterte has left the political scene, his power is still not to be ignored. Mindanao could really seek independence, and Filipinos dared to fight for it. As early as 2017 and 2020, there were many clashes between the armed forces and the ** army of the Philippines, and it was not until Duterte came out that it gradually subsided. I really don't understand why the domestic problems in the Philippines are so complicated, and Marcos Jr. has the courage and energy to provoke China. Isn't he afraid that the local *** armed forces will launch a mountain guerrilla attack like the Kokang Alliance, and beat himself to the ground after discovering the baby?Of course, this is just a personal joke and you don't have to take it seriously.
Recently, the Philippines' statement on the South China Sea issue has aroused people's doubts and concerns. On the one hand, they are trying to circumvent China's code of conduct in the South China Sea, and on the other hand, they are cooperating with the United States on joint patrols. This kind of obvious duplicity is rare in international affairs, and the actions of the Philippines can be described as puzzling.
However, we might as well look at this phenomenon from a domestic perspective in the Philippines. The views of former Philippine House Speaker Alvarez are food for thought. He believes that the Philippines should put domestic affairs first, instead of blindly arguing with China over international disputes such as the South China Sea. Such a view undoubtedly implies that there are pressing problems in the Philippines that need to be addressed.
It is already obvious that the internal struggle, imbued with the smell of gunpowder, is about to break out again. The current Duterte and the former Marcos Jr. represent two different camps with very different lines and positions, so the contradictions are deepening and will inevitably lead to an escalation of the conflict. Alvarez's statement is a clear signal that the Duterte family forces are making the political struggle public.
However, the spearhead of this provocation is not the Duterte faction, but Marcos Jr., who is backed by the United States. He pointed the finger at Duterte's daughter, Sarah. First, he accused Sarah of abusing her deputy identity for misappropriation, and then claimed that she was "treasonous" by giving a congratulatory speech in Chinese during China's National Day. In addition, he is ready to launch a ** against Sarah. In order to protect his daughter's image, Duterte announced not long ago that if Sarah was **, he would have to return to run for the Senate or deputy**.
This sequence of events explains why Alvarez is issuing warning signs that Mindanao may seek independence. This is a clear warning to Marcos Jr. that Duterte still has a strong influence. And Mindanao may indeed seek independence, and the Filipino people will have the courage to fight for it. As early as 2017 and 2020, there were many armed and military clashes in the Philippines, which gradually subsided until Duterte came out. This shows that the internal problems of the Philippines are already complicated, but it is really incomprehensible that Marcos Jr. has the courage and energy to provoke China.
Of course, with this joking joke, I try to emphasize the fact that the Philippines' domestic problems are very complex and need to be resolved with all efforts, rather than wasting energy on international disputes.
The island of Mindanao mentioned by Alvarez is a province of the Philippines, located in the southern part of the Philippines, with a secluded geographical location and a beautiful environment, rich in natural resources and tourism resources. However, in recent years, the development of this province has been sluggish, and people's livelihood problems have become prominent, which has led to people's dissatisfaction with ***.
Although Duterte promised to solve the Philippines' internal problems when he came to power, his actual actions did not meet expectations. In many places, infrastructure construction is lagging behind and economic development is slow, resulting in low employment rates and unsound social welfare. At the same time, corruption and corruption are also prevalent in some places, making people's lives more difficult.
In this context, Mindanao's independent voice is also gradually being raised. People feel that independence has the potential to solve these problems, enabling them to better manage their own affairs and improve people's livelihoods. Indeed, the occurrence of two armed and military clashes, as well as Duterte's threat to Sarah, have demonstrated the seriousness and urgency of the Philippines' domestic problems.
Although this is just personal speculation and ridicule, we should not take it as fact. But the complexity and urgency of the Philippines' domestic problems cannot be ignored. The Philippines should give priority to solving domestic economic, employment, social welfare and other issues, rather than blindly arguing with China in international disputes such as the South China Sea. Only by solving domestic problems can the Filipino people live a better life and achieve true national prosperity and development.
