'Philippines, Province of China' banners hung in parts of capital

July 12,2018

MANILA -- Red banners with the words "Welcome to the Philippines, Province of China" were hung on several pedestrian overpasses in the capital on Thursday, the second anniversary of the Philippines win over China in an international arbitration court.

The message was written in both English and Mandarin. The banners had a similar design and also bore the Chinese flag. It was not immediately clear who installed the signs.

Ronald Gustillo posted a photo of one of the banners, which he said was hung on the pedestrian overpass in Philcoa, Quezon City.

A similar banner was spotted on a footbridge on Quezon Avenue.

Footbridge near Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Pasay City.

Former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay posted another photo of the tarpaulin and asked the government agencies to take down the banner that has sparked negative comments.

"Not funny. On this day, July 12, we commemorate our victory in Philippines v China," said Hilbay, who led the Philippines' legal panel that protested China's sweeping claims in the South China Sea before the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

Enemies of the gov’t behind red banners claiming PH to be a province of China – Palace

July 12,2018

Red banners with the words “Welcome to the Philippines, province of China” that have sprouted in some parts of Metro Manila on Thursday are the handiwork of the enemies of the government, Malacanang said.

The red tarpaulins were seen hanging from several footbridges on Quezon Avenue in Quezon City, on the southbound lane of C5, and near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City in clear violation of city and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) ordinances.

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque on Thursday said enemies of the government were behind the banners.

“It’s absurd and I’m sure it’s the enemies of the government behind it. So, to them: try again. you need a better gimmick than that,” he said.

The Palace official also said that there’s no truth to the message that the tarpaulins are trying to convey.

“We continue to assert our sovereignty and sovereign rights but we have decided to move on issues which are non-controversial because we know the final resolution, particularly on the issue of sovereignty on the disputed islands will take many many many many years to resolve since this was not a subject of the arbitral ruling that we won two years ago,” he added.

Roque said that as for the sake of freedom of speech, Malacañang will not be doing something about the tarpaulins.

“The Quezon City government is directing its Department of Public Order and Safety and Parks Department as well as concerned barangays to take down all tarpaulin signs that say that the Philippines is a province of China,” the QC Public Affairs Department said, adding that the tarpaulins were illegally posted.

The MMDA also started taking down the said posters in other parts of Metro Manila.

MMDA Spokesperson Celine Pialago confirmed that there are at least 2,400 Chinese delegates from a private company staying in the country for an incentive tour.

However, the Tourism Promotion Board and the private company denied they were the ones who posted the tarpaulins.

“I think this is more of a wrong welcoming remark,” Pialago said.

She added that the MMDA also did not give the permits for the tarpaulins to be posted.

Former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay, who saw a similar tarpaulin in Philcoa, asked the government to take down the banner immediately as it reflects the government’s approach to the dispute.

“Not funny. On this day, July 12, we commemorate our victory in Philippines v China,” said Hilbay, who led the Philippines’ legal panel that protested China’s sweeping claims in the South China Sea before the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

“Whatever the motives may be, it’s not funny, especially on this particular day,” Hilbay said in an interview on CNN Philippines.

On July 12, 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration under the United Nations ruled in favor of the Philippines in its arbitration case against China over the South China Sea.

Just recently, President Rodrigo Duterte joked that he wants the Philippines to be a province of China. “Gusto ninyo gawain na lang ninyo kaming province, Fujian pati Philippine province of China, eh ‘di wala tayong problema.” ("If you want make us your province,Fujian also Philippine province of China, so we don't have problem.")

---------------------------

Obviously the Government is blaming the Liberal (Yellow) Party of Aquino, CPC "Reds" (Communist Party of the Philippines), and Human Rights group.

American lackey who put up those banners. They believe in American who betray filippinos and colonised them. Willing to serve them as master forever. Willing to handover their woman for their master to enjoy.
