Look at their hypocrisy. Against the US and Israel, they love burning flags and vandalizing embassies. Against China, they have a "cool heads must prevail" statement.
LOOK: Students from the University of the Philippines Diliman hold a banner calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Philippines following the arrival of U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for the 20th ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
The protesters denounce Hegseth as a key enforcer of the Trump administration’s militarist agenda, accusing the U.S. government of expanding its military presence and preparing for heightened confrontation with China in the Asia-Pacific region. They also oppose the proposed development of PAX Silica, an advanced manufacturing park intended to support artificial intelligence (AI) supply chains, citing concerns over its potential impact on Filipino farmers, Indigenous communities, and the environment.
