PNoy vows to fend off ‘bully in our backyard’
President Benigno Aquino III on Tuesday refused to back down despite anger in Taiwan over the shooting death last week of a Taiwanese fisherman, saying the government remained ready to defend its sovereignty.
“What belongs to the Philippines belongs to the Philippines, and we can defend ourselves when ever someone tries to bully us within our own backyard,” the President said during a speech to the officers and personnel of the Navy in Fort Felipe in Cavite City.
