DISTURBING DECLARATIONS FROM OUR LEADERS

“China is already in possession. They are already there.”

PRESIDENT DUTERTE

Does that mean abdication of the right to the ruling or the equivalent of what leads to acceptance of China’s territorial claim?

“They agreed to arrive at an agreement.”

TEDDYBOY LOCSIN JR.

Foreign Affairs Secretary

Does the secretary mean the terms of each agreement are not fixed yet, they need to sit down again in another negotiation in which the Philippines can still put in provisions to protect its interest?
