Our Territorial Dispute With China

        Every politician is shouting for a change during their campaign sorties. This word is just already has been already used for thousand times. But in reality, there is no true change. Many of our fellowmen are still living in a depth poverty. We are also shameful in the eyes of international communities. Foreign investors are staying away from us because of bureaucratic system. How can we redeem our country in this very hard situation? As what we knew, we need a strong leader to guide us in our new path as a country.

If we talk about foreign affairs, we need a leader that who knows how to deal even with the stubborn leaders of other countries. Right now, we are facing a huge problem because China already claimed some of our islands. We need a leader who could talk with them properly. A leader who could show humbleness, but with a steadfast position. We don't need to boast, let us accept the fact that we are a powerless country in terms of military defense. We can't rely to our alliance with America. As of now, China is the second powerful country to the world next to America. The US government has a financial debt to this country. So, how can they attack it if ever we declare war against China?

I heard that Duterte is willing to resolve our dispute with China. Contrary to the belief of others, Duterte is a brave leader, but he is also loves diplomacy. He understands that we can't beat China in a bloody fight. So, we need to talk with them cautiously until we reach a peaceful resolution with this problem. Duterte already said that he don't want to fight with China. It doesn't mean that he becomes coward to this country or he would give up our islands with them. He just want to save our country from a great devastation. Although we Filipino people are known for being a descendants of heroes; we should be careful with our decisions. In just one mistake, our country would be totally affected. Remember, that the rich people in our country has a Chinese blood. What if they would not support in favor of their race origin. War is a last option, Duterte know this.

For me, Duterte has a strong charisma. There is a possibility that he could unite our country because even the Muslim rebels and the leftist are supporting him. If he become a president, he could also deal with foreigners who have other political beliefs or interest. It is just a matter of sincerity and integrity. Duterte could also present himself in the international communities what every political system they have.
