The Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas is calling on our Senators and the members of the House of Representatives to stay vigilant and to stand by us, the common Filipino, in safeguarding the country from any clear and present danger.
We are amplifying your concern and alarm over the disproportionately large number (27,000) and young age (35 years old) of these allegedly “Chinese retirees” in our country, especially during this time of pandemic and economic difficulties. These young foreigners could not only take away jobs from the Filipinos but pose a threat both to health and to our national security.
In a CNN news clip, no less than the National Security Adviser, Sec. Hermogenes Esperon said: “Influx of Chinese Nationals in PH, a security threat”.
These young (military age) Chinese retirees could easily serve as a fifth column or a Trojan horse that could be instantly mobilized against our country.
We shout out again and again what Senator Richard Gordon said: “That’s a national interest consideration there – national security.” ‘Damage to the country?’ Senators alarmed over 27,000 Chinese retirees in PH (Senators alarmed over 27,000 Chinese retirees in PH by: AIKA REY, RAPPLER, Oct. 19, 2020)
Let no one take our jobs, our seas, our sovereignty! Let us stand together to protect our country!
Thank you for standing with us!
For the LAIKO Board of Directors,
