The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has acknowledged the Senate's call for the agency to raise a voice before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) with regards to the Chinese harassment in the West Philippine Sea and to act on its activities.
DFA's backing came as lawmakers adopted a resolution urging the agency to also file a resolution before the international fora and seek multilateral support.
DFA supported Senate Resolution 718 by saying that the measure "suggested actions which the executive branch [must] pursue to address the actions by China which hamper the ability of Filipinos to benefit from the resources of the WPS and interfere with legitimate enforcement operations by Philippine government vessels."
Considerations will include in bilateral and multilateral realms and the choice of modalities, fora and timing, Daza added.
