DFA backs officials fighting for PH rights in disputed sea
January 22, 2026
|Manila Bulletin
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has expressed full support for Philippine government officials who are asserting the country's rights over the West Philippine Sea and calling out Chinese actions in the waters after being threatened by Beijing of “paying a price” for what they are doing.
In response to China's Foreign Ministry's warning against Filipino officials, the DFA said in a statement on Wednesday, Jan. 21, that it is affirming its support for publicly elected officials and government institutions performing their lawful duties in defense of Philippine sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction.
The DFA then stressed that “differences between states are best addressed through established diplomatic channels rather than public exchanges”.
