SONA 2026 HIGHLIGHTS: Filipinos are neither racist nor liars, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Monday following renewed maritime tension with China, which has snubbed a 2016 arbitral award that invalidated its claims over the West Philippine Sea. Our unity and collective consciousness are challenged now greater than ever before. A common threat lies before us, directed against our dignity and self-respect as a people. Of late, our very humanity has been called into question," Marcos said in his fifth State of the Nation Address. Let me remind our friends and our detractors: Filipinos are a noble, kind, gracious, and great race. We are not greedy. We are not racists. We are not liars. We are respectful, and we are dignified. We are Filipinos, and we do not yield," he said.
