“We would like to call for the support from the Philippine and other ASEAN countries because if China can deploy the oil rig in the sea of Vietnam, [China] can [also] deploy anywhere in the nine-dash line that [it has] claimed and that will not be good for everyone,” said Amber Lee, representing Vietnam in Vietnamese-Filipino Association.

“We would like all the nations to come together so that China cannot just do anything… [China has] weapons, guns, [and] a very strong economy but what it is doing now with [its] neighbors cannot be accepted,” Lee added.

Vietnamese-Filipino Association will hold a rally in front of Chinese Embassy in Makati today, Friday, May 16, around 12 noon.

All interested individuals from any nation may join the anti-China rally today in front of Chinese Embassy. Approximately two hundred member of Vietnamese-Filipino Association will lead the said campaign.
