PRESIDENT Duterte’s comments on our disputes with China over the South China Sea in his recent State of the Nation Address (SONA) have resuscitated Yellow zombie ideas. It is a testament to the power of the United States and its media, and its local minions, that this zombie idea has been kept alive. Because of the failure of President Duterte’s officials to unravel for him this Yellow zombie idea, the Yellows have pounced on his statements on the issue in his SONA as defeatist: “China is claiming it. The tribunal wasn’t even a court, and no international court can give “legal title” for any territory in the world. What a colossal hoax for the Yellows to call the arbitration award a victory of the Filipino people.
