Officials of the National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) Alumni Association urged Filipinos to unite behind the government and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. amid his stance to take the latest Chinese aggression against Philippine vessels 'very seriously.'

They commended President Marcos for his position following the statement of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro that the Chief Executive is 'giving serious weight' to the incident when Chinese ships collided with a boat contracted to provide supplies to Filipino troops in Ayungin Shoal and a vessel of the Philippine Coast Guard.
