Despite being subjected to hostile actions such as water cannon attacks, our Coast Guard has shown remarkable restraint and disciplineβqualities that reflect true courage, not cowardice.

Commodore Tarriela also raised concern over the spread of misinformation on social media, where some influencers distort facts, downplay the threats in the West Philippine Sea, and even shift blame toward the Philippine government. Such narratives only serve to undermine national unity and diminish the sacrifices of our frontliners at sea. In these critical times, it is vital for the public to remain vigilant, stand by the truth, and support those who risk their lives to defend our maritime territory.
