President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Saturday that he wants history to remember him as Chief Exclusive who “did not yield” on the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
“We did not yield. We continue to protect the sovereignty of the Republic,” Marcos said in Part 4 of the BBM Podcast: Episode 2, which aired on Saturday.
According to Marcos, the Philippine government will not fight as long as China will not attack Filipino fishermen and block the territory.
“We’re not fighting. But don’t hit the fishermen, okay? Don’t block us in our territory. We’ll really fight for that,” Marcos said in Filipino.
“Because if you give it to them, they will give you—like they say, ‘you give them an inch, they will take a mile.’ So, you cannot allow it even one inch,” he added.
In the same podcast episode, Marcos was asked about “one thing” that he wants people to remember him after he finishes his term of presidency in 2028.
“We made a change for the better,” Marcos said. “This has been my guide in all the positions I’ve taken.”
“So, I absolutely insist that in 2028, when I leave this office, there are significant and tangible changes for the better in the life of each Filipino,” added Marcos.
Marcos also mentioned that the worst thing that can happen is after a president sits in the position and then ends his term, “nothing changes.”
