This is one quotable quote from PBBM which he uttered during a dialogue at the World Economic Forum with the conference president Børge Brende in Davos, when asked if he would double the defense budget like Japan is doing.
It incorporates several messages, the first of which is a truth and a fact that the Philippines has no external security threat, contrary to the alarmism Western Powers’ political, business, academic and think tank, and mainstream media networks say of the “China threat”. In any war the economic and industrial capacity and relative standing of a nation is the ultimate basis for winning in any war, and the Philippines which no longer has a major steel industry and needs to import its basic food, fuel and fertilizers needs is far from having any capability to shift meager resources to raising budgets to devote to the armaments procurement.
Secretary Galvez also has a very good track record of working with the Chinese government’s representatives such as Ambassador Huang Xilian, successfully negotiating 5 million doses of Chinese vaccine donations and over 50 million doses of vaccine purchases at “global public goods” costs. Galvez was also head of the OPAPRU on the peace process for the insurgency.
