I studied the situation on China-Philippines relations a bit and was not at all surprised when I read that the current president of the Philippines is actually for China, and against the USA. What is happening now is actually a diplomatic war between China-USA over who will actually control that area of the world. If you read the following some things become crystal clear :

In subsequent years, China pledged to invest in the Philippines through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and to cooperate on achieving “joint exploration” of disputed waters in the South China Sea. However, Filipino mismanagement of the BRI and the inability of the two sides to see past their sovereignty disputes to conduct joint exploration left question marks hanging over the direction of bilateral ties. Then came an enormous geopolitical boost for China on February 11, 2020. On that day, Duterte decided to terminate the U.S.-Philippines Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA). The VFA enables, among other things, U.S. troops to freely enter and move around the country in support of a variety of military missions, including to deter and fight China in the South China Sea.

But due to pressure Duterte still postponed VFA termination, which means that the USA has much better methods of persuasion than the Chinese at the moment. I think the USA is waging a media war here in terms of intimidating Filipinos from possible Chinese claims to their territory.

China is a big threat to the global peace! You think terrorism is bigger threat? No! The expansionist mentality of China is the biggest threat to global peace right at this moment! They have financially captured Pakistan, Nepal and Maldives and now trying to capture certain parts of India and Taiwan! Phillipines is probably the new addition to their hit list.

As an immediate action, we all should ban Chinese products from our lives! Stop using any type of Chinese services that is probably available at cheaper cost. Unless and until we remove China from our lives, someday our next generation will have to start learning Mandarin.

Didn't get surprised when I saw this on news Cheesy and TBH I laughed a bit when I saw this.
Same here, it's not really that serious as I know Philippines is not a province of China.
There was also a news before about some people who put a banner saying "Philippines province of China".

China is a good ally of our country, if we noticed, most of the richest people in our country are Chinese people, and most of the products that we are using are made in China.

Let's blame the manufacturer of the product, but actually it's no big deal.

It could be just one small mistake on factory, i dont think that this really means something important

This is not a simple mistake in their factory. Many events like this already happening before like the posting banners of "Welcome to the Philippines, Province of China around Metro-Manila". Sadly our government treats this as a simple mistake and not a big deal. Big kudos to Manila Mayor Isko Moreno for what he did already in their establishment.

I cannot call that a simple mistake since it's provoking to the people who are so sensitive with the issue, but we don't know the real story behind that since maybe there's someone sabotage the situation since we know how big the the issue and scope if it will came to china. But for sure the government is watching the situation and we know how smart the current administration handle things especially on bilateral relation.
I agree, how can they make this mistakes though? Philippines and China are two different countries. It might be that because the Philippine government is so welcoming to Chinese government, but still this is an insult to a sovereign nation such as the Philippines. And it look very bad for China, the bullying seems to be not just on the government but with the Chinese people as well. If the Philippine government allow this, then this could set a precedent.

I remember when they are getting Hongkong too and even Taiwan and our government is closely tied with the Chinese government. So close that they are just giving away the area where the Philippines is owning it like the West Philippine Sea and possibly the Spratly Islands too.

For sure if the government will react something about this, they will not say directly to the Chinese government but they will just say things like "They are just probably joking" or "Just don't take it seriously".

See? A simple act of courage means a lot. I hope you now get what I mean.

"Oh yeah, that's fine. I know for sure it is just a mistake" is like what the spokesperson said. I don't get how they are so cool with it as China smearing all these taunts and insults to our faces. Our President says a lot of courageous and amazing things about defending West PH sea, stillright now nothing happened and they are just letting them smear all of that insults into our faces.

Just seen this video about Pres. Duterte "joking" about making our country as a province of China

The nerves!

I don't know what they are thinking but they are obviously taunting our country with this, in our faces, in our lands, they created this product and they call it the province of their country? I've already watched how Mayor Isko(Mayor of Manila) stood against this closing all those stores down even the address on that product. Now, what would the government do about it? Be silent?

The country is being branded as a province of China by a mere beauty product which is probably dirt cheap and below minimum quality standard and has surely not passed all the necessary requirements to be admitted to the domestic market in the Philippines. This beauty product must have originated from an ignorant company back in China.

I would have dismissed this case outright as a nuisance if not with the political, economic, and affairs relating to international relations which are being hotly and divisively debated not just within the country or the region but within the whole world.

If I'm not mistaken, the leaders of the country current and past have been generally friendly with China although the relationship seemed to blossom a lot when the current administration started to treat the USA and the EU more of enemies rather than friends. It strategically positioned China as the apple of the eye of this poor forsaken country. From then on, all hell breaks loose.

We do not lack warnings and evidences and yet we still continue to allow ourselves to be showered with Chinese economic graces which we surely knew to be traps. While I question the capabilities of our leaders, I question more their nationalism and moral courage to steer this impoverished nation.

Dr. Mahathir of Malaysia was able to cancel at least $22.3 billion worth of China-funded projects in his country knowing full well that the acceptance of the same will drown them with Chinese debt they cannot afford to repay. This debt trap is what he calls as "new version of colonialism." Alas, the brave leaders of our country do not have the balls to do just this.
Many politicians and government officials do not have deep knowledge about the resilience of a country and are less careful in comparing potentials with threats. This could be due to exploiting personal interests and sacrificing the interests of groups or officials who do not have knowledge and experience.

China, which was showing its sharp power through the 5.0 colonialization, was actually greeted with warm hugs by many countries in the world, especially those who took financing from China in the OBOR program. What China is doing is copying exactly what America did when it moved its production lines to China in the 1990s. Who would have thought that a country that was originally known for its "imitating country" is now considered a great power and has the value of challenging America, and has even begun to shift America's dominance in trade and financing.

This is inseparable from Xi who is considered the father of innovation and continues to fight against the world. Xi has fired hundreds of thousands of corrupt party members and executed thousands of officials convicted of corruption. China also provides freedom in developing the economy for every Chinese citizen, with no rule. Even in the 1990s when economic reforms were carried out, copying was mandatory. Xi's Principle is against all world rules, and make his own rules boldly.

Forms of business in China tend to be heavy on state capitalism, the private sector is given the freedom to do business at home, but abroad is controlled by state-owned enterprises, which incidentally work for the Chinese communist party. China has a hegemony that is applied during the management of the region based on their economic strength, "economic approach". The countries that all are looking for are the same, namely countries that have raw materials, energy and a large population.

I don't think so! Its clearly a deliberate action to insult Filipinos and that really matters to us. It's really ridiculous that even a grade-schooler from any other country would know that Manila isn't a province of China. Shocked

It's really a big insult in the Philippines to be called a province of China. Good thing for the mayor of Manila that he immediately took an action and closed all establishments who put that kind of address in their products.

Although the country is depending on products made in China because it's cheaper and the amount of debt we have, they don't have the right to lowkey own our country. I wonder what's the reaction of the president about this because he always thinks that we are "friends" and is dependent on China.

Who would make a mistake like that?  The Philippines is obviously far from Province P.R. China, so how come it would be a mistake? They have been manufacturing products and yet no one noticed it? I doubt that

I never thought that the nine-dash-line policy now included the capital of the Philippines which is a blatant insult and mockery not only to my fellow Filipinos but to all the nations aggrieved by China's absurd demarcation policy.

This is not the only case of several issues coming from them but if you are well aware of the local news, you could see things that seems to disrespect the rights of Filipinos such as Chinese expats doing certain crimes within the country  such as drug distribution and being involved with kidnapping syndicates to kidnap their own,  which clearly shows they aren't afraid to the local authorities in which I think they feel invincible because of current Government's leniency to them.

China is having border conflict with many nations lately. It doesn't come as a surprise to me that China is tryting to influence the Philippines now. As a former puppet state of USA I think this is mainly done to show force against the Western countries. Unfortunately China is the biggest power in Asia at the moment and we all have to accept it. As long as there is no military invasion of any country bordering China, the West will not get involved in any disputes. Just looking at Hong Kond we see that world is not helping the weak anymore. Better to remain friendly with China and accept the hierachy.

In this particular case, it looks like an unintentional mistake from the manufacturers. But at the same time, China has stepped up its territorial aggressiveness recently, resulting in instances such as the recent clashes at Galwan Valley in Ladakh (which resulted in dozens of deaths). Right now the Chinese are on backfoot, as Trump has taken strong action against them. But things can change later this year, after the presidential elections in the United States.

If our Puppet President still does not take an action regarding this then shit will hit the fan because people are slowly disliking his way of governance. I do not get how people are zealous about this Puppet when all that he did was launch a slaughter of the poor and suspected drug personnel, he is the greatest and vile enabler, with peace that came from the blood of others, I do not have faith that they ever get things done right. We also should make a shout out to the hypocrisy this Puppet does, if his allies commit corruption, he can turn a blind eye in a heartbeat, while the masses are drowning in poverty, he does not care.

Here, look at Presidential Spokesperson's and Manila Mayor's statement regarding the issue and try to compare

See? A simple act of courage means a lot. I hope you now get what I mean.
Mate, try to translate those statements since we're in the international section so they can understand and differentiate it.

Well, that's what I'm pointing on every discussion in social media, locals are more competent than in the national, this is only my opinion.
It's a good move for the Mayor of Manila to shut down the business and send them back to China, another fragrance in his name. (lol)

Even in my city, all of those taxes we paid are so worth it, all of certified voters got their allowance to survive the first month of quarantine.
