Based on the results of the Tugon ng Masa nationwide survey conducted on July 22 to July 26, Visayas had the highest percentage of Filipinos (84%) who believe that the current administration should prioritize defending the country’s territorial rights in the WPS through these means. It was followed by Mindanao (70%), while the National Capital Region (NCR) and Balance Luzon were statistically tied at 64% and 67%, respectively.

I'm curious about how "diplomacy, peaceful means" is defined here. Because I also want it to be done through diplomacy, but by pressing our rights in the UN rather than bilateral talks with China.

Not like we have the capacity to assert it through violence, so diplomacy is the only option we have. But talking to the CCP ain't it. Their word means nothing, especially on territorial matters.
