The House of Representatives is “propelled” by conflicting statements from both the camp of ex-President Rodrigo Duterte and the Chinese government to investigate their alleged gentleman’s agreement concerning the West Philippine Sea.
“Now that Duterte has finally admitted to entering a secret deal with China, it is imperative that Congress hear House Resolution 1216 that we have filed as early as last year,” she said.“We must know all that there is to this unpatriotic deal, and the ones responsible should be held accountable. Duterte might have sold the West Philippine Sea without us knowing it,” she added.
Meanwhile, the “gentleman’s agreement” entered into by Duterte with the Chinese leader Xi is no longer binding, and at worst, unconstitutional, congressional leaders said Sunday. “The so-called agreement, if any, is constitutionally void since it is tantamount to the surrender of our country’s sovereign rights over our exclusive economic zone,” he said.
“This would clearly mean that our country has every right to protect and safeguard all features within our EEZ including the Ayungin Shoal,” Gonzalez said.
