Nagkaisa ang sari-saring political party leaders sa Kamara na mailipat ang kontrobersyal na confidential at intelligence funds sa mga ahensya ng gobyernong nagdepensa sa West Philippine Sea.
Ito ang saad ng Nationalist People's Coalition, Lakas-CMD, Nacionalista Party, PDP-Laban, National Unity Party at Party-list Coalition Foundation Inc. sa isang joint statement nitong Miyerkules.
"We, the respective heads of political parties in the House of Representatives, view with serious concern the installation of a floating barrier by the China Coast Guard in the Southeast of Bajo de Masinloc Shoal," sabi sa pahayag. "This action not only impedes the rights of livelihoods of our Filipino fishermen but also disrupts the prevailing atmosphere of regional peace and collaboration."
"Given recent provocative incidents in the contested areas, we have decided to reallocate — as part of the budget process — confidential and intelligence funds [CIF] to other agencies chifly responsible for intelligence and surveillance." Nagkasundo ang mga political party leaders sa Kamara na ilipat ang confidential at intelligence funds sa mga security agency na tumutugon sa umiinit na tensyon sa West Philippine Sea.
