MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos defending or “making excuses” for China’s aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea are “unpatriotic” and “traitors,” the spokesman for the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said yesterday.

“If you are a Filipino, whether in government or private sector, regardless of your politics, defending and making excuses for China’s aggressive behavior should deem you unpatriotic, and a traitor to the Philippines and to our people,” PCG spokesman Commodore Jay Tarriela said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
