MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang officials on Tuesday were tight-lipped in the face of worries about the alleged “swarming” of Chinese ships in the West Philippine Sea , avoiding all questions from reporters. During the briefing, neither Office of the Press Secretary officer-in-charge Cheloy Garafil nor the new press briefer Daphne Oseña-Paez answered the inquires.Reporters continued to try and get a response from the Palace after the briefing but were unsuccessful.
Tuesday was Paez’s first day on the job as the official Malacañang press briefer, a position in which she would be responsible for disseminating information about the daily goings-on of the office of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
