ON the most recent episode of 'Kapihan ni Tatay' with host Mr. Ernie Abella last Thursday (March 7, 2024), we delved into a pressing concern: the potential threats facing our country, and we beg the question — are we in danger? Central to our conversation was the intricate balancing act, navigating the Philippines' delicate position amid the South China Sea (SCS) dispute with China and the complexities of the Taiwan Strait issue.
