China has complained about the present administration's inaction over the alleged agreement between former president Rodrigo Duterte and China's Xi Jinping regarding the disputed Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
A shipload of questions has been raised over the “gentleman’s agreement” alleged to have been entered into between former president Rodrigo Duterte and China ’s Xi Jinping over the disputed Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea . China has suggested as much, complaining about the present administration’s “inaction” over what it apparently considered a done deal.
This spectacle of two Duterte mouthpieces not just speaking at cross-purposes but putting each other down would be immensely entertaining if our national territory and patrimony weren’t at stake. It doesn’t really matter who between these two, uhm, gentlemen is right, or whom we end up believing.
To help sort this mess out, Sen. Risa Hontiveros has called for a hearing to find out if, indeed, Duterte and Xi had, as the young ones put it, an “MU” over Ayungin and the WPS. Predictably, Panelo thinks this probe will be a “waste of time,” insisting that the reported “gentleman’s agreement” never happened.
