Beijing's man-made islands in the West Philippine Sea may have triggered some security concerns, but Manila will "thank" China for it someday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Wednesday.
"There will come a time when China's might has ceased, when we will have to thank them for the islands because it is only the Philippines that can legally build those artificial islands," Roque said in a Facebook video.
"Clearly, eventually, the artificial islands will be ours if we can get, ask China to leave the islands," he added.
