Harris’ visit, the lawmaker noted, is very important since US leaders visiting the country is a solid show of commitment from the global superpower.
“On Tuesday, Harris visited Palawan where the West Philippine Sea is located. The Philippines and China have been in a long-standing maritime dispute as Beijing claims almost the entirety of the South China Sea, which overlaps with the West Philippine Sea,” he added.
