SENATE President Francis Escudero on Wednesday expressed his desire that cooler heads prevail over the escalating Philippine-China face-off in the West Philippine Sea . Escudero made the remark following China Coast Guard's alleged 'offensive' move, seizing and dumping food and other supplies intended for Filipino troops stationed at BRP Sierra Madre, a remote outpost in Ayungin Shoal.'I hope our country won't hit back.
'Our adversary, or competitor, or rival in the West Philippine Sea includes Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and other Southeast Asian countries, but it seems that our attention is mostly focused on the Chinese,' he said in an earlier Wednesday interview.'That's why when we won at The Hague arbitral tribunal, the ruling was only against China but also against other claimant countries. As I said, including Vietnam, Taiwan and Malaysia,' he added.
