The CNN senatorial debate that was telecast this weekend was the
opportune time for the candidates to be known by the electorate to help them
decide who they will vote for.
But it seems the whole idea got weird because only one candidate
shown brighter than the others, its former Philippine National Police Director
General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa as against the 7 senatorial candidates of the
Liberal Party led Otso Diretso slate.
He challenged the administration critics to just join him in “attacking”
China instead of finding fault in the present administration’s policies on the
South China Sea dispute.

“Baka akala niyo kayo lang ang patriotic, si Duterte hindi, kami
hindi. Well I must tell you frankly, kung sino gustong sumama sa akin, bibigyan
ko kayo ng baril at bala, atakihin natin ‘yan (China). Oh, matapang kayo?
Atakihin natin 'yan,” Dela Rosa said amid heated discussions in the CNN
Philippines Senatorial Debate.
He made the statement as he chide the opposition candidates ,
saying that the Chinese incursions have started during the time of former
president Benigno Aquino III and not solely at the time when the Duterte
administration started.
“Ang mahirap sa atin, sisi kayo nang sisi kay Duterte
administration na hindi pinapaalis (ang China). Kaninong panahon ba nagsimulang
pumasok ang mga Intsik diyan?... ‘Di ba sa panahon ng mga kapartido niyo, mga
Otso Diretso?” dela Rosa said.
The Philippines lost its effective control of Panatag/Scarborough
shoal in 2012, under the watch of Aquino III, his Foreign Affairs secretary
Albert del Rosario. And it was because of this the country had to file a
complaint before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Haguechallenging China's claims, to which we eventually won.
