Here is a my take bro, Madam Carlos is a media CREATURE and a political animal, her job is to advise the President not to to gain attention on her by speaking directedly to media, under cutting her boss on foreign policy and she is full of herself and boastful she think she is the Asian version of Madeline Albright, the reason for her sacking. That is the problem with Marcos, like Trump he doesn't have the knowledge and foresight to choose the right people for the job because he is clueless, he doesn't have a national strategy for the country, his mission is to clear his family name by being nice and accepting recommendation from his backers to high position as a reward for his massive victory, a REAL TRAPO. Just look at Rodriguez his former Executive Secretary, three months on the job and he was fired. One of many mistake and blunders, you may also include the controversy of appointing a new Chief of Staff of the AFP, the shortage of onion which he appointed himself the position of Agricultural Secretary to address the issue and yet failed miserably. Incompetency is the name of the game in his gov't and we see the end results.It seems that this now ex National Security Advisor was and is instrumental in having Japan joining the Philippines in joint patrol in their West Philippine Sea. She's animated on this show and seems convinced to challenge China by invoking America to join them in challenging their issues in SCS.
She's dismissive of the advisors surrounding the current President that she labelled as "AMBOYS" which is a term for American Boys, meaning to say that these advisors most of whom have served in the military are nothing but an extension and puppets of American interests. She's beseeching the PResident to have civilians provide him with another set of advice and not just solely rely from military only advice.
I don't really know what would be the right course of action for China in dealing with the Philippine case since there's clearly an element here that do not want part of the looming conflict between the two "hegemon" as Dr. Carlos puts it. She does not want a war at her country's doorstep for obvious reasons but then is sort of dismissive and unrealistic with respect to the prospect of PHilippines getting or pushing their products to places like Turkey as one of the replacement markets for China so that her country does not become too dependent and therefore beholden to China's so-called belligerent actions against her country.
What is your take on this situation and her assessment @ansy1968 @PhSt and other Filipino-Chinese or anyone in general regarding this very thorny issues that clearly evokes strong passionate response from the Filipinos.
