I'm so glad they're recognizing the strong alliance between us and the Philippines in the face of China's aggression in the South China Sea. It's important to stand together against threats like this. #USA #Philippines #China #alliance

This bill is a joke. It won't do anything to help us. It's just a waste of time and money. #pointless Short term affects of this bill are unclear and may not have any impact on me personally.
