“The deployment of US precision strike and anti-ship missile systems on our northern islands is a blatant escalation. This is no longer ‘training’—this is positioning the Philippines in the front line of a potential regional war.
“Hindi ito depensa para sa mamamayan. Ginagawang launchpad ang Pilipinas, at kasabay nito, ginagawang target ang mga komunidad natin. Kapag may gera, hindi mga opisyal ang unang tatamaan—mamamayan ang unang malalagay sa peligro.” — Bayan Muna Exec. Vice President Atty. Carlos Isagani Zarate
