News headline: "Biden callls Noy, backs Phl troops." Our 70 Filipino UN peacekeepers are doing their job to protect the interest of the United Nations. They are not there to fight war, but to maintain peace and order in that region. The situation of our soldiers in the Golan Heights needs immediate attention from the Philippine government, so that their safety and security are guaranteed. Our UN envoy must go to the Golan Heights to observe the actual situation himself, which is his primary duty to report to the Filipino people and not only staying at the UN Assembly in New York.

D_BystandeR: (to Felix Reyes)

I find it irreconcilable and hard to justify that a demand is made to require our Philippine UN envoy to go to Golan Heights himself from his official station in New York "to observe the actual situation." Knowing that Golan Heights is a volatile area, I find this call made out of some misguided ideas that is filled with personal "bitterness" towards the envoy. I think he can do more valuable work in his present place of assignment to helpour beleaguered troops than going to the place at war. He could be killed there if he is exposed to "war hostilities."
