WEST Philippine Sea  is not China’s “personal aquarium,” Senator  Grace Poe said as she vowed to fight for  the country’s claim  over  the  disputed  territory.

“Hindi po pwede kayong agawan ng isda doon sa mga lugar na ‘yon kaya dapat kausapin ang local government na tulungan talaga kayo,”  Poe said when asked during  the third and  final presidential debate  in Pangasinan on Sunday  how she  could protect Filipino fishermen affected  by the dispute.

“Pero hindi po personal aquarium ng mga Intsik ang West Philippine Sea. Atin ‘yon. At dapat hikayatin natin ang ating mga kakampi; kung tunay silang kaibigan, tulungan talaga nila tayo at huwag nating isuko ‘yon.” she said.

Poe  lamented  that the country is being bullied by the China  and it should therefore seek help from allied nations  in Asia.

“Alam niyo po, ‘yung sitwasyon dito sa Tsina parang sa paaralan kung saan binu-bully ‘yung mga Grade One—tayo ‘yon—‘yung ating mga ibang kakampi naman sa Asya parang mga Grade Two; ‘yung iba nating mga allies nasa high school, gusto tayong tulungan, gusto tayong tayuan,” she said.

“Pwede nating hingin ang kanilang tulong basta wala tayong isinu-surrender sa kanila na ating sovereignty o kalayaan dahil hindi naman natin pwedeng isugal din ang buhay ng ating mga Navy. Pero kasama rin doon kailangan tayong manindigan dito sa ating teritoryo,”  Poe added.
