“If we continue to let these fake news peddlers become the mouthpiece of the Chinese government, many Filipinos [will] be confused about what is really happening in the West Philippine Sea,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino.Tarriela then highlighted that these lies should not be tolerated, otherwise, the country will lose in its fight in the West Philippine Sea.
