Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has said that his country “will not lose an inch” of territory, remarks that come on the heels of tensions with Beijing in the South China Sea this week that saw China’s ambassador in Manila summoned to the president’s office.
“The country has seen heightened geopolitical tensions that do not conform to our ideals of peace and threaten the security and stability of the country, of the region and of the world,” Marcos Jr said in a speech on Saturday.
