I am a Filipino with a half mainland Chinese descent (My grandfather left the mainland during famine and CCP pressure which I believe most Taiwanese knows what I mean). And I am willing to defend my country Philippines against the big bully China.
happy to hear this from a Chinoy.. 💪🏼
The least you can do is to ask your president to stop provoking China in the SCS!
count me in Chinese apelyido pero pusong Pinoy☺️
Join the military

Prayers for Taiwan and those affected by the earthquake. From Philippines.
Prayers for Taiwan❤Hope for your Fast recovery for the Earthquake disaster..Philippines always remember whos beside in time of need,,,we love Taiwan❤A Democratic minded
Of course they can work together! Both are DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, sensible and not greedy.
By working together the Taiwanese Government is working against her constitution. The 11 dash line was drawn and published by the Nationalist Government in 1946.
@@wionporky9937Democratic China drew the line not the Communist China. Meaning Taiwan owns the whole of China if still gonna stick with the drawing.
@@SigmaPlema
Whatever you say. 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
No they cannot. Taiwan also claims most of the SCS including the WPS.
@@archiebunker5256and northern luzon
Since the Chinese aggression is uncontrollable, I think it us right for Taiwan and the Philippines to have Military cooperation and defense agreements. Also, if Taiwan and Philippines will work hand-in-hand to boost each other's economy most specifically in electronics, robotics and chips production then that would be a great start to deter Chinese domination in the Pacific. China is no longer a friendly nation. What they do is the opposite of what they are saying during the bilateral meetings.
Oh really? Remember Taiwan is also claiming spratly and southern luzon hahahahahahaha
@@ck-bs2msfor now I think Taiwan not push for claiming island like china but .Taiwan no choice to enter a deal with Philippines military cooperation ..
With waning interest by the US to maintain the globalized order, it's more imperative than ever that like-minded countries work close together in security arrangements against common threats. Gone are the days when you can count on Uncle Sam to be the guarantor of security.
US only do recognize the "One China Policy" and wont recognize Taiwan as independent".....Isnt this saying something different and now doing something different by building military build ups by Chinas backyard ???
@@darkmoon7406 taiwan do not recognize philippine claim in spratley as taiwan follows 11 dash line like china
This channel is the best great explanation. Philippines and Taiwan forever be friends🇵🇭🤝🇼🇸
Taiwan also claims the 9dash line, PH will just cooperate with TW but not friends
菲律宾别光卖嘴，把中业岛还回去呗？
@@touchdown8769You say it like Taiwan have any choice. Once they claimed nine-dash line they consider China and themselves as one which contradict what they really fighting for. They have bigger problems than useless islands below them. Yes, i call it useless and not worth risking what little they have for. Philippines and Taiwan are friends. Technically Taiwan doesn't have rights to any Chinese claims even if the paper says so. It's just there for the sole purpose of being there. They don't need to do anything about it
Philippine country Protect your country Taiwan and Philippines together🇹🇼🇵🇭🙏🙏♥️♥️🇺🇲🇺🇲
They are stronger than Philippines :-)
@@mikelawre6190yes we know 🥴 and we love Taiwan 🇹🇼 ❤️ 🇵🇭
@@mikelawre6190they are stronger only in paper. Filipino soldiers are more experienced and battle hardened.
@@SigmaPlema not only in paper but also in military equipment like multirole fighters!
@@SigmaPlemareally? Filipino are only strong through their words but not in actions
God bless Taiwan... from the people of the PHILIPPINES..🇵🇭🇹🇼💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️
Taiwan and Philippines should improve their relationship - we are neighbors anyways.
So that they can claim spratly and northern luzon
Then you respect the 9 dashed line.
Absolutely! The Philippines and Taiwan face the same threat from China. The two countries should stand together. Not only that-both should increase cooperation with like minded countries.
both austronesian countries too.
Really? Remember Taiwan also claiming spratly an northern luzon hahahahahaha
@@erikkenquijano590yeah don't forget daddy Sam's puppet the Australia
@@ck-bs2ms But Taiwan has not committed any act if bullying or harassment in the last decade, more or less against the other claimants. China is the one who is acting with extreme aggression.
The Philippines should not only cooperate with Taiwan but with other claimants as well who are also being bullied by China.
This is when the old Asian proverb, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, applies so these two neighbouring countries should help and support each other. Philippines should support Taiwan's aim to be free from communist China so as Taiwan help the Philippines on stabilising a free and open West Philippines Sea. The Philippines had been occupied by different superpowers over the centuries and first and foremost understand how suppression hits their nation badly and how independence means big time. Taiwan is a democracy that should have it's UN seat back in the plenary again, that is right and it is humanly to allow Taiwan to be on it's own away from the imperialist Communist of China. They have their own voice.
Prayers Taiwan love from the Philippines 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Prayers for Taiwan i was working in Taiwan for 7yrs. and a horrible experience way back 1999 earthquake with a mignatude of 7.9 where we occupy ay the 23rd floor of the building.. TAIWAN AND THE PHILIPPINES ARE GOOD PARTNERS IN SO MANY WAYS..
Yes Taiwan and Philippines can work together.
Yes so that Taiwan can own the spratly and northern luzon
Japan Taiwan phillippines must team up... To counter china agression... The gate wall of the pacific
Who is Philippines? 😂😅😂😅😂
Taiwan will team up with the Philippines so that the Taiwan can own spratly an northern luzon... Nice tactics by taiwan
@@ck-bs2ms 🤣 there not china a greedy one 🤮😂

Alien😂😂😂
Long live the beautiful and the independent country of Taiwan
I hope Taiwan will recover soon from this Eartquake , be strong also to our Filipino OFWs be strong and be stay safe may the good Lord ever keep every one safe God bless ❤
Prayers for all the earthquake-affected families in Taiwan. I hope you all keep safe in there. Us pacific countries are always affected by the movement of tectonic plates and such. All we can do is be constanly prepared about these calamities we have no control of. Much love and respect from the Philippines. 🇵🇭🤝🇹🇼
Hope Taiwan and Philippines could work together ❤
Yes. The Philppines and Taiwan must strengthen their cooperation. It's to the best interest of both countries to work together. Demoracy, freedom of navigation and a rules-based international order must be defended at all cost.
LOL Taiwan and its Mainland have the same 9 dash-line claim, aka the 11 dash-line to Taiwan.
@@bernardseah703, did you pay attention to the discussion on this clip? The issue of Taiwan's claims with the 11 dash lines was mentioned & answered by the guests. Yes, Taiwan did claimed the 11 dash line but they were not assertive & aggressive to the point of harrassing their neighbors not like the CCP's bullying tactics which by now have made China a pariah & isolated from like minded democratic countries who wants to contains its aggressive behavior.
😂 tbh taiwan has claims in south china sea and has its own 9 dash line but still i think taiwan will be more cooperative and open discussion compared to china who bullies everyone..
@@alaindelon611 trust me if taiwan has the same capability as china they would do the same thing that china is doing to the philippines.
@@alaindelon611 because they have the capacity or military might just like China (beijing)
Prayers to taiwan affected by earthquake we luv u from philippines.
Stay safe people of Taiwan. Praying for you from the Philippines.
Philippines and taiwan brother in arm 💪
God blessed Taiwan from 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Praying for the immediate recovery of Taiwan for the earthquake you have experience and taking the lives of your loved ones❤
TAIWAN & PHILIPPINES -
Let's get it on!!!! 💪🇵🇭🇹🇼☀️
Stay strong Taiwan and Yes, we can work together... But remember our priority is OUR Country
China is a threat to our territory but let's not forget Taiwan is ALSO claiming most of it. We Also experience the same racism from you.
Past relations doesn't dictate the future relations. USA-Vietnam a great example, Philippines-Taiwan isn't as bad as their past (quite far from it actually)
There will always be a slight of doubt (from both sides) but again... yes, we can work together.
There is no other way. Unless we want to submit to China, Taiwan and Philippines should work together. There can be differences but the word to note is "compromise".
As a Filipino i love Taiwan
Ulul
Of course you will say that... Tupperware
@@ck-bs2ms why i will not say that? overproud Filipino nationalist
Keep brave of taiwan earthquake hope you that you safe godbless you and you all safe from Philippines
Praying for Taiwan. From the Philippines.
Prayers for Taiwan love from the Philippines
There are lots of Chinese in the Philippines and they are very welcome here. We don't hate Chinese people, we just don't want the bullying of Chinese Government (CCP). I believe that we share common values with the Filipino communities in the Philippines. We value democracy and rule of law. As a Filipino, there is no problem working with Taiwan in order to counter China.
New subscribers from Philippines
Tsai Ing Wen is really terrific, What will she do next?
Prayers for Taiwan 🙏
What Taiwan and the Philippines can do to contenuesly support it's interest in deterring China is to make a solid common stand and make a tangeble strategy against these abusive neighbor... For example for these endeavor is to make sure that they should built our island near taiwan as a sanctuary for our brethren who are working there and so with the native Taiwanese that needed to evacuate for thier safety... .
Lets strive for the best for Taiwan and Philippines. The world should acknowledge Taiwan as na independent country because microchips are helping our world.
Taiwan and the Phippines have also conflicting claims in some features in the South China Sea aka WPS but it is not being sensationalized by the media for obvious reasons.
Watching from 🇵🇭
UNCLOS, PROTECT SAVE WPS PHL EEZONE AND BENHAM RISE EAST PHL SEA, PHILIPPINES🙏
Properties in the South China Sea are not yours since the U.S. owned in the first place.
@@tibetanchineseofchina Tibet is not the Property of China, Free Tibet... West Philippines sea are Filipinos. China out
@@jamesleeborgonia222EEZ is still international waters.
@@Bk6346 EEZ is exclusive rights for Philippines ... now if someone is staying a longer period of time and reclaiming some military outpost in EEZ which is a National Security threat for the Philippines... Its a right for the Philippines to protect its EEZ in which entruders are illegally reclaiming and building military outpost without asking a permission to the Philippines... Any countries in that situation has a natural response to being defensive in its own rights and national security threat...
Stay safe too 💜✌️🙏 from 🇵🇭 Philippines
Peoples of taiwan and philippines can work together to fight chinas aggression. Philippines maybe lack of brandnew weapon but they are brave and good in man to man combat.
as a filipino ofcourse we need to watch each others back against this fake super power pirates.
If I were to ask, I wish and I want Taiwan and Philippines to work together cause it is the only way, the more forces the better we can defeat our enemies
As Filipinos heart,we always love both Taiwan and protect our mainland,extending a prayer to GOD from my country Philippines to recover from the earthquake damage in your country Taiwan. and sending love 🇵🇭 ❤ 🇹🇼❤🙏
,,,, Definitely, we will , we will support TAIWAN all the way, !!!
*The international law* is very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including the Philippines 🇵🇭,
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
Taiwan has always been our great friend.. we will always support Taiwan..
I love taiwan news,not bias
Yes of course Taiwan and Philippines could work together because they have the same thing to hold on in their common breath to stay together in democratic belief that only the Free People could ever understand. And that is FREEDOM.
There's nothing else for the Philippines 🇵🇭 to settle with China.
Hague Tribunal already settled it by a ruling in 2016.
- Whether China likes it or not, the ruling is *final and legally binding.*
And so?
God bless Taiwan and the Philippines
Im glad to hear that many countries really support philippines..thank you
Philippines recently created a new marine division of 20K troops that will be deployed in Batanes. Philippines will also be placing it's Brahmos Missile system in Northern Luzon aimed at the Bashi Channel south of Taiwan
We recognize Taiwan as independent country. Happy independence Day, Taiwan!
Taiwan and Philippines, we are one!
Taiwan should have a joint military exercise with PH
For the Philippines, forming alliances should go hand in hand with modernizing the coast guard and the navy.
Enjoyed this interview.. Ty
Good morning taiwan❤❤❤🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗 from Philippines 🇵🇭🤗🥰
Taiwan+Philippines+Japan+SoKor were great friendships
If Taiwan and Philippines join together in a Federation that will unite the once historically same people together!🙏

Be brave and don't be afraid against the big guy... We're here for you...
#CHINAZI, pray for Taiwan, Taiwan is a country!!
Finally, somebody spoke about the 11dash lines….
Yes, our cousin will protect each other🤗 Pintados kag Ilongot Matatag pag tayo ay isa🤫
Yes
Taiwan 🇹🇼 and Philippines should be like brothers and work to defend our territories😊
The Philippines protect yours country of Taiwan. The Philippines has no bad intentions, Filipinos are good Samaritans to help. Taiwan and the Philippines are not left alone ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I love Taiwan ❤❤❤❤
Time for the Philippine government to recognize Taiwan as an independent country and the legitimate representative of the free Chinese people.
I thought the PH abide by the one China policy lol
@@davinxi5926that's only for now.
@@davinxi5926 me as filipino one china tofu that I know..
Philippine Government won’t do it. Recognize Taiwan means ending diplomatic relations with China.
The Taiwanese government itself is very careful about its statements about self-rule vs. outright declaration of independence.
The Philippines will not recognize Taiwan as an independent country. It recognizes the One-China Policy. Declaring support for Taiwan's independence is equivalent to declaring war on mainland China. Even the USA won't do it.
Brilliant ideas
Yes, the Philippines and Taiwan is always has been working together, and it could strengthen it more to give a message to China that we as a Democratic nations are united.
#ISupportTaiwanIndependence
Taiwan is close to the hearts of filipino people.
Yes together coz democracy is great country
We had been at your side ever since.😊❤
Taiwan is sovereign! 🇹🇼
The Great China ❤️ Taiwan forever .
Because , genetically speaking , China & Taiwan is absolutely one-blood one heart .
Philippines can't forget the friends.
Worse come to worst we Filipinos will accept Taiwanese to our country and work together for the betterment.
Yes, they should work together to please masters
No, Taiwan and its Mainland have the same 9 dash-line claim, aka 11 dash-line to Taiwan.
You agree that the Philippines should bow to China's 9, 10 or 11 Dash Lines?
The Philippines defending its territories is just following US orders?
You are so funny. 🙄
Taiwan should start by investing in the Philippines. This is to make Philippines more Economically advance build their maritime and military strength.
Yes.
Nice Question
The Philippines should speed up modernization of defense. At least it would make an ivasion or any military operation by an enemy very costly. But of course a diplomatic resolution is a key.
the affinity the Filipinos have for the US is always been there and not ambiguous, it is only the former Pres. who attempted to sway the Filipinos away from the US but failed
Duterte tried to play both sides by pretending to be "neutral" like Switzerland or India. But the Philippines is not a nuclear power like India, nor a fortress like Switzerland. All Duterte did was isolate the Philippines and made her vulnerable to Chinese aggression.
Yes only Duterte is vague and vain. 90% of Filipinos are solid pro-US. There are more than 6 million Filipinos in the US.
BIG YES. . .
Philippines is a small country...but if anybody try to invade us our heart is big and we will fight b'coz our ancestors are warriors that's why during the early days we have a respect and understanding to other ASEAN country b'coz we respect them also...the key is alliances in all ASEAN country Taiwan, Japan,and India,and Australia,u.s....one for all,all for one
Stop that drama
@@ck-bs2ms😂
@@ck-bs2ms why, r u scared the sound of canon?. Lol😊
Then why were your country a colony of the US?
Our prayers here from the Philippines for the victims of the recent earthquake in Taiwan, hopefully you can recover quickly,God Bless your Country.
Should be.

(REAL TALK) china doesn't know the word limitations, that's the truth,
Draft military aged Filipinos strength in numbers

No, cause Taiwan and its Mainland have the same 9-dash line claim, aka 11-dash line the the Chinese Taiwanese.
Of course no
Philippines nd taiwan have the same roots of origin other than their languages , so they should be able to together since they are already have bonds and connections the ofw in taiwan and business men /women in from taiwan in the Philippines
