Malacañang on Monday endorses Defense Secretary Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro Jr.’s remarks urging government officials who align with China on West Philippine Sea (WPS) issues to consider resigning. At a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the Marcos administration sees nothing wrong with Teodoro’s position and treats his statement as an expression of patriotism. The call is framed around officials’ stance on matters involving the WPS, where multiple countries assert overlapping claims and where tensions have persisted. The outlets report that the Palace did not present any additional policy detail beyond its support for Teodoro’s comments. The administration’s reaction is presented as a clear alignment with the Defense Secretary’s view that pro-China positions by officials could be incompatible with the government’s approach to the WPS. No specific list of officials or concrete legal or administrative steps were cited in the reports.
