President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. on Friday expressed doubts that a Senate resolution that aims to draw international attention to China’s aggression in the West Philippines Sea would reach the United Nations (UN).
Before leaving Kuala Lumpur at the end of his three-day state visit to Malaysia, Mr. Marcos said the UN “entertains governments; not parts of government, not the judiciary or the executive.”
Zubiri said he was unsure if the Department of Foreign Affairs would keep the original wording of Senate Resolution 659 authored by Senator Risa Hontiveros. Earlier, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano said filing such a resolution before the UNGA could backfire and weaken the country’s position if not enough countries vote for it.
“The ultimate aim is for the government to take concrete action before international fora and solicit multilateral cooperation, particularly with coastal states who share our interest in ensuring that the UNCLOS is respected,” he said, referring to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Cayetano, who served as DFA Secretary, questioned the resolution’s focus on China when Vietnam and Malaysia — both allies to the Philippines — also have a presence in several islands that are within the Philippine exclusive economic zone .
