Bam on West Philippine Sea and Manny Pacquiao

On West Philippine Sea issue

The issue with China is not only a local issue. It is a regional issue. It is a global issue.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) is doing its best to resolve the issue within the regional bodies and international bodies that are available to us.

Right now, the best course of action is what we have done already, which is to raise this to the committee of nations.

On Manny Pacquiao

With the millions of Filipinos around the world, I am praying and hoping that Manny will win over Mayweather because I'm afraid that if he loses, we will go into a national depression.
