Marcos went to Vietnam to "steal his home", Duterte went independent and did it himself, how to explain the chaos?
In today's turbulent world, let's focus on an unexpected incident in Vietnam, a crisis that affects the lifeblood of the country. The Philippines' infighting, economic downturn, and Duterte's quest for Mindanao's independence raises a critical question – what should we do?
The root cause of this chaos has to start with Marcos ** coming to power. Marcos not only tore up the policy commitments of former Duterte, but also moved closer to the United States, ignoring China-Philippines relations and provoking China's sovereignty in the South China Sea. This has led to cracks in Sino-Philippine relations, lost investment from Chinese companies, and caused the collapse of the Philippine economy and high hunger rates. Philippine lawmakers have threatened to push for Mindanao's independence to avoid getting bogged down deeper into the quagmire of war.
Marcos's inaction has allowed domestic contradictions to accumulate. The economic predicament has made the Philippines desperately need the support of China's leading leaders, while Marcos**'s attitude towards China has become more and more paranoid, making the infighting more and more intense. Duterte, hailed as an "anti-American fighter," has repeatedly called for improved relations with China, but Marcos has insisted on going his own way on the South China Sea issue, leading to further chaos at home.
Recently, Marcos Marcos visited Vietnam and signed a cooperation agreement on strengthening the coast guard in the South China Sea, which further intensified domestic conflicts. Duterte and his supporters strongly oppose Marcos's China policy, and the two blocs have engaged in a fierce confrontation. Although Duterte stepped down from his position, his political influence cannot be ignored, and his daughter Sarah is a deputy with a high approval rating, becoming a counterweight to Marcos.
Sarah was originally a candidate to work with Marcos, but the divergence between the two widened as Marcos' policies shifted. The rift between Marcos' Federalist Party and the LaCasse Party has deepened, and Sarah's approval rating has risen in preparation for 2028**. Marcos' plan to amend the constitution in order to continue his political legacy has sparked further social discontent.
However, all this does not seem to have deterred Marcos, and instead his plan to amend the constitution by collecting signatures has caused more disgust. The move is reminiscent of Duterte's proposal to achieve Mindanao's independence through signatures, seemingly using the tactics of his opponents to counter them. Marcos's stubbornness and unscrupulousness have made the country and abroad even more anxious.
How should we respond to this chaotic time in this chaotic time? This is an issue that concerns the future of the country and needs to be carefully considered. We must not ignore the fundamental contradictions at home and abroad, adhere to the principle of peaceful settlement of disputes, promote domestic unity, strengthen economic and trade exchanges with China, and seek a win-win situation. The interests of the state are above all else, and no individual's selfishness can be placed above the state.
To summarize the full text, Marcos's bias and China policy have caused many problems at home and abroad, resulting in serious infighting and economic downturn in the Philippines. The fierce confrontation between the two blocs, Marcos and Duterte, has made the country face even more serious challenges. At this critical juncture, we need to respond calmly, safeguard the long-term interests of the country, achieve domestic unity, and maintain regional peace and stability.
