“We Filipinos should continue to stand for what is right and to defend what is rightfully and legitimately ours under the rule of law,” the former chief diplomat said in a statement. “We must not be willing victims by acquiescing to China’s blatant violation of the rule of law. We must not be silent as silence encourages further aggression into our lands and seas,” Del Rosario added.
