ICYMI: Political analysts on Sunday criticized the Philippine Speaker for allegedly meddling in foreign affairs, which they said should be the exclusive purview of the Executive branch.
“Foreign policy is still very much the purview of the Executive, unless the House of Representatives will initiate laws to support activities and policies relating to the agreements signed,” Herman Joseph Kraft, a political science professor at the University of the Philippines , said in an e-mail.
He said the meetings had led “to a better rapport” between the two nations. “Upon the instruction of our president, we shall engage our counterparts at the Parliament and our Congress and our Senate level,” he said last week. He also cited the need to assess the independence of the Legislature. “Executive domination of the Legislature has been pretty normalized in hot-button issues, and the supermajority that was normalized under ex-President Rodrigo R. Duterte and Marcos belies any attempt at independence and criticism.”
Aside from Mr. Romualdez, also accompanying Mr. Marcos to China were First Lady Marie Louise Liza A. Marcos and presidential sister and Senate foreign relations committee chairperson Senator Maria Imelda “Imee” R. Marcos. Mr. Marcos has invited Mr. Xi to visit the Philippines, which Mr. Romualdez called “forthcoming because they actually enjoyed each other’s company and that of the respective first ladies.”
“It’s one thing to wish and claim that they did that, but it’s another thing to actually see it translated to Chinese geopolitical strategy,” Mr. Juliano said.
