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.

[Janation]

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?

[FlightyPouch]

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

[LogitechMouse]

Didn't get surprised when I saw this on news and TBH I laughed a bit when I saw this.

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".

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.

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.

[avikz]

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.

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.

Man be happy. No import ad export taxes  Philippines and China economy will flourish because of this. Even the rest of the world will feel synergy effects.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Why always chinese, it's already a slogan in my place. I hate them, I hate all product who made by them but like it or not there always a moment I use their product, that's the power of their product. Just afraid, if sometime that my country use their money to buy all stuff.

[Lizzylove1]

Many developing nations will loss their sovereignty to China because of bad debts, China will hijack their economy and control the internal affairs and the will of China will be done. Why keep borrowing money and be relooting same borrowed money? Every nation must look for a way to fix their economy and develop without selling off their sovereignty.

Honestly I don't like dealing with the Chinese they are manipulative they lend a lot to countries so they cannot make a complaint if they meddle with internal affair of one country, look at what's happen in West Philippine sea, they claimed it as part of their territory when obviously it's not, they have their reason of their own to claim every territory.

[Latviand]

The product owner involved should be the only one to be questioned. There is no way China government will treat PH as a province, I mean if they do, we should have seen several cases like that in all Chinese products in Divisoria and Chinatown Binondo. Maybe those owners looked down at PH to the point that they listed it as a province on their product.

This is not the issue here, although it is only a one scenario, possibly that's the start of making them list the Philippines as a Province of China in their products. There's no way that they will make a mistake like that, don't tell us that they didn't do that unintentionally. That's obviously disrespectful.

Heck, you still have lots of corruption scandals in recent times in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Corruption scandals are never new in our country, as there are a lot of government officials who are just corrupting all of the people's money without doing and proper services to its country. Especially during this pandemic, people really need more financial help and still politicians are getting selfish and dumb about making laws regarding Covid-19 issues.

I don't like CCP and their agenda, but not to that extreme mate. Chinese people are suffering because of this regime as well.
About CCP's agenda, I don't think they (even if Russia joins the coalition) will be victorious over the US, UK, and Israel if they want to start something stupid.


About this hair product, I think it's only a mistake by the packaging provider, it's made in China (just like everything else lol), but the brand is from Philippine. Contrary to popular belief, China isn't that strong to start poking here and there once all the privileges about trading removed.

[AniviaBtc]

Nah, I don't think so. Only the Philippines is the country China can bully and it's so embarassing. They are disgracing us in our own land without even fighting back and it s*cks! And what I hate the lost is that our government only doing gentle response on all of the issues probably because they don't want a conflict but at what cost? They continue abusing us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not promoting war against them because I don't want it either. Obviously, we're on the losing side. But I just hope we can also do like what Vietnam (take this as reference) did, they stand for their rights and not afraid to resist despite of knowing that they're a third world country as well .

We can't really fight against China if our President is not accountable about his position in the government.

You will see in his stance that he has nothing to do about this issue, he have stated before that he don't want to hurt the feelings of China which is really disrespectful to us, his countrymen. People really did a huge mistake electing him as a president, he is not intelligent and wise enough to handle this kind of issue, no one is expecting that but that's not an excuse.

That's the reason why he stopped the connection between Philippines and America and rely on China which is really focusing on its land expansion and this issue is the proof for it.

Actually the interest asked by China is very little compare to the interest when Phlippines ask loan from US.

But since the time of the previous 3 presidents in the Philipines, we already have huge debts from China. This is why The previous administrations had a deal with China about the isles in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The Chinese won't be going there if they have not been dealing way before the current president, in fact US didn't fight for Philipines because of that.

This "Made in Philipines Province in China" normally is a diversion of the Yellow Liberals when they are about to get busted with PhilHealth Issues.

This powerful nation really knows how to play well, doing things like this to penetrate to another countries
making them in control once the government bite their offers.
They are not firing any bombs but instead alluring every poor nations to lend with them and make it really
hard to payback, the outcome will always favoring them.

Why keep borrowing money and be relooting same borrowed money? Every nation must look for a way to fix their economy and develop without selling off their sovereignty.

Desperate and blindly being attracted of friendly approach coming from China, the leaders needs to think about it
as they soon realized after china already taking over of their sovereignties.

[Yatsan]

This news was already not new most specially for the Filipino people because this was not the first time that China have claimed Philippines to be its province because as far as I remember for the past months or I think years, a tarpaulin have been hanged up in a foot bridge in Manila stating that "Philippines Province of China" and still up until now authorities have no clue on who was responsible for creating such actions to be seen by many people for there is no witness or no CCTV was there to caught the person behind such act.

It was indeed brute for a third world country to be claimed as a province of a larger country because of the debts it have and such claiming seems to be bringing up the past of colonialism.

This issue have started when the China have started claiming Scarborough shoal that is located at the West Philippine Sea and the issue have been brought up in the international tribunal for the discussion on which Philippines have won. Despite of the fact, Chinese government have ignored the decision and still insisted the claiming of the island. No wonder why such big country is just underestimating a third world country like Philippines because they have no capacity to fight back. Even though that was the case, still it was rude to state a country to be a province of a bigger nation for it was stepping the rights of sovereign of a country by such act. Good thing the Mayor of Manila have put up an action and did not allow such ruthless act to be done on his city.

Common people usually don't want any kind of war. That's usually true for every country. It's always the ruler of the country who wants war and common people suffers due to the ruler's decisions. Chinese people, especially the religious minorities are going through a very tough time right now as the basic human rights are getting violated.

But internationally China is not in a very good position. They are lacking credibility in almost all segments to the international crowd due to the policies of the ruling party. For years, majority of western websites are banned in China. You can't even access them using VPN. It's time to strike back, digitally!
