Truth Stands, Propaganda Falls: Defense Secretary Teodoro Calls It Out at Shangri-La
At the 2025 Shangri-La Dialogue, Chinese delegates attempted to frame the Philippines as a mere U.S. proxy—pushing scripted narratives disguised as questions.
But Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro dismantled the propaganda with facts and firm resolve.
He made it clear:
“The Philippine position on the West Philippine Sea is not a function of Sino-American strategic rivalry. It is caused, no doubt, by the overreach of the Chinese Communist Party.”
From Mischief Reef’s militarization to the global rejection of the 9-dash line, the truth was laid bare.
The Philippines stands for sovereignty, not submission. For law, not lies.
