Pangilinan: Probe China’s ‘soft invasion’

During the October 20 hearing of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality, then Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre issued in 2017 Department of Justice Order 41 allowing Chinese nationals to enter the country not via visas issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs , but by BI-issued visas-upon-arrival .

Pangilinan argued that China’s “soft invasion” is already in progress with its investment and infrastructure projects. Captain Jim Fanell, the former intelligence chief of the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet, coined the term “soft invasion” to describe China’s strategy of “invading” cash-strapped neighbors. “In July 2020, the Philippine government protested the presence of more than a hundred Chinese vessels, which are believed to be part of China’s fishing militia, in Pag-asa Island and the West Philippine Sea,” said Pangilinan.

“Filipino fishermen in the area who are civilians and have no military training, unlike their Chinese counterparts, are subjected to threats and harassment. Moreover, the country’s natural resources are exploited.”Fanell said that the Chinese are using their money to buy out local officials to gain access to ports, airfields, and resources, thus giving these foreign nationals control over the islands.

Is 'Soft Invasion' legal? DOJ Justice Sec. Aguirre in 2017 issued Justice Order 41 authorizing BI to issue Visa-Upon-Arrival to Chinese nationals entry to PH. It circumvented the DFA function. Sen Pangilinan wants the entry of 4M Chinese investigated.

Rizal's and Pnoy's forefathers softly invaded us 300 years ago. We have the Sys, Gokongweis, Tans and many more employing millions of Filipinos. And the Philippine flag still waves proudly in Luneta. You're afraid of Chinese investors but not the Chinese Drug Lords ?

Hilom kiko kung kayo naman nasa position wala din nman kayo gagawin. Nagpapasikat ka lang. Unggoy ka!

The senator was given 'permission' to bring the issue up at THIS time.

Well.. it’s not like we passed up better offers from countries like US to help us built infra. Look around the world, countries have been partnering with China with building infras. The alternative is to stay being a third world country exporting our countrymen to USA.
