Alumni officials of the National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) rallied behind the Philippine government’s attempts to stand its ground amid China’s latest aggression against Filipino ships in Ayungin Shoal.
This as Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is “giving serious weight” to the incident where Chinese ships collided with Filipino supply boats in an attempt to block them, given “the false narrative” being spread by China.
Commodore Jerry Simon, a member of the alumni board, also urged the public to “remain vigilant and well informed,” stressing that “not only are our ships being rammed, the truth that is on our side is being pummeled too.”
