Lip service or insincere, hypocritical, and empty pronouncements especially from government officials. This originated from the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential campaign where he promised to help and protect Filipino fisherfolks to freely and safely fish on the West Philippine Sea without the intimidation of the Chinese Coastguard illegally occupying the area. He said if needed, he’ll bring the Navy with him and ride a JET SKI to erect a flag to a Chinese airport built on an artificial island on the West Philippines Sea. Duterte has since made no action on the matter despite the international arbitral tribunal ruling in favor of the Philippines. Since his election, Duterte approved numbers of government projects and policies in favor of Chinese government and businessmen.
