I, who is a national citizen of the Republic of the Philippines implore to you people over there to stop bullying my fine countrymen. I wish that the small people trying to make a living off the waters and lands of our sovereign be treated with utmost dignity and respect as one people would expect from another person. We are not trash. We are not poachers like most of the people you send to our lands. We are not bound by the political wars waged between you educated individuals and our country's educated individuals. We simply wish to catch our daily food in silence.
Why is it that your people in our country co-exist in peace?
Why is it that our people in your country co-exist in harmony?
Why is it that when it comes to claiming lands do you push forth across your neighbors who live quietly?
Are your lands not big enough? Are your resources not ample enough?
Are your people not plenty enough?
Is it really necessary to claim what others have simply because you have a need for it?
You, China, who is supposed to be this century's superpower, cannot solve your own problems and you need to push them to other nations as well?
As I see it, your lands are dwindling.
The repercussion of being a fast-paced industrialized nation is that your resources dwindle twice as fast as well.
Your lands become garbage. The waters turn to sludge. Overpopulated and undermined in food and water for your people, you turn towards new grounds, new place where your necessities could be answered.
But conquering others by sheer force isn't the only way.
Our country has been a third world country as far as I could remember.
We have been a garbage city, with a garbage government officials as well.
Even so, we try. Towards the better option we try.
If there are no rice, we plant. If there are less rice we ask for help from other nations.
We ask for help because its what people do. If you have things you can't do on your own, you ask for help. We are people consisting of billions now. How hard is it to ask for help?
Throw away your useless pride. There's nothing wrong with crying for help.
There are allies, there are nations, there are people willing to lend a helping hand.
Throw away your devious thoughts of plots and blackmails or how they would benefit from it.
The important thing is you are not alone.
Everyone is willing to help for others who are in need.
I am alone in this post.
No one is paying me anything or pushing me to say anything against you.
I am alone and my knowledge about your country is limited.
But so are you, I think.
You have no idea about my people. About our pride to throw away our lives to protect our lands.
About how we are crying now for peace between our nations.
When our own people can get along, why can't our nations or governments do that as well?

Therefore once more, if I could, I would give you a heartfelt hug.
Just so you would know how much I pray for peace.
How much you have made my countrymen suffer.
And how much more both of us will suffer if this is prolonged.
I implore once more, from the bottom of my heart.
To you, from me
