What Would Jose Rizal Do Regarding the West Philippine Sea

From the web

Today is Jose Rizal’s 163rd birthday. I wonder what he would do in the West Philippine Sea Conflict with China.

Jose Rizal, known for his advocacy of peaceful reforms would likely take a diplomatic and intellectual approach regarding the West Philippine Sea issue if he were alive today.

He would probably write about the Philippines’ rights either as an Opinion Writer in a popular newspaper or a blogger. ( I don’t see him as a vlogger) If he’s not a columnist/writer he will flood newspapers with commentaries on the issue.

He would organize groups mainly for information/education. Rizal was a teacher and a writer who believed in the power of education to enlighten people. He might advocate for educating the Filipino populace about their rights, the historical context of the West Philippine Sea issue, and the importance of national unity in addressing such challenges.

Overall, he would advocate a peaceful approach in handling the West Philippine Sea Conflict.

Happy Birthday Jose Rizal!

    I am also at a lost at what to do with the bully. It seems like “Might makes right” here. Won’t UN do something to enforce its ruling on the West Philippine sea or UNCLOS?
