President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed former Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin as special envoy to Beijing, days after the
Chinese embassy in Manila called on the Philippines to meet it halfway over maritime disputes in the West Philippine Sea.
Locsin, while serving as foreign secretary under former president Rodrigo Duterte, was outspoken in his criticism of China. His expletive-laden demand prompted a rebuke from Beijing and Locsin later apologized to his Chinese counterpart.Tensions flared this month when Chinese Coast Guard vessels blocked and fired water cannon at Philippines boats on a resupply mission at Ayungin Shoal.
“It is not necessary even for the DFA to issue a formal statement,” Escudero said, although he admitted a formal correspondence to China might be helpful.
