PCG official says next president must be like PBBM in defending WPS

With the country’s national identity at stake, an official of the Philippine Coast Guard said the next president in 2028 must be somebody who will continue President Marcos’ policy of protecting the West Philippine Sea from China’s aggression.

Commodore Jay Tarriela, the PCG’s spokesman for the WPS, said it is for this reason why their transparency initiative is reaching out to many people from not only in Luzon but also in the Visayas and Mindanao to increase the public’s awareness on the need to defend the country's territorial waters.

“We need to increase awareness more para siguraduhin natin na ang pangulo ng 2028 is not somebody who is going to set aside our fight in the West Philippine Sea,” he said at the Saturday News Forum in Quezon City.
