Marcos said in a speech to the Australian Parliament on Thursday that he was thankful for Australia’s support in the Philippines’ maritime dispute in the South China Sea, clearly referring to the conflict with China without naming the Asian superpower.

‘Not one square inch’
He likened the current Philippine situation to World War II, as the country “now finds itself on the front line against actions that undermine regional peace, erode regional stability and threaten regional success.”
“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said to loud applause. “The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield.”
