BRAINLIST RIGHT ANSWER People who try to cover the cloven hoof of empire with the
petticoats of "Expansion" are as careless of the dictionary
as of the constitution. The Philippines do not mean
expansion. It does not expand the fire of freedom to pour

between the two modes of relations between states, i prefer the first, since i believe it is of the utmost importance to satisfy the needs of citizens and work for their development and as a last option to act on the international level.
