“No. We are not doing anything, I dispute that. We are resorting to diplomatic initiatives, but this is the exemption to freedom of information. Let’s leave it to the DFA,” he said.


Duterte's trolls are quick to bring up Aquino's backdoor negotiations with China but here Roque is admitting to the exact same thing. The outcome of those secret diplomatic initiatives being the deployment of Chinese missiles in range of the Philippines ...

'We are not giving up West Philippine Sea rights' – Duterte
Christina Mendez (The Philippine Star) - May 16, 2018 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines has not given up its sovereignty rights over certain areas in the disputed South China Sea, President Duterte insisted yesterday.

Duterte made the claim even after he had discussed the matter in the past with Chinese President Xi Jinping.


(...SNIPPED)
Sure seems like it.

Duterte: What’s the point of questioning Chinese planes?
Dharel Placido, ABS-CBN News

Posted at May 16 2018 08:57 PM

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday again defended his stance on the South China Sea dispute, suggesting it was already pointless to question China’s deployment of its air assets to its artificial islands in the Spratlys.

Reports and recent satellite photos confirmed that China has deployed a military aircraft to a base it built on a reclaimed island in the South China Sea, indicating Beijing is now moving to further cement its military presence in the disputed sea.

Duterte, who has chosen not to antagonize China, said Beijing’s deployment of military aircraft to the Spratlys should no longer come as a surprise.

He once said, if somebody wants him to step down, he will stepdown, without second thought, without reservation. He said if he cannot protect the interest of the Philippines, if he cannot protect the sovereignty of the Philippines, if he cannot protect the maritime features, he will step down. "Usapang matino ito kung ayaw niyo na sa akin bababa ako, hindi ako magdadalawang isip"

People are calling for him to step down. We will know if lalaki siya at may natitira pang hiya at WORD-OF-HONOR, or he's a chicken without balls.

Du30 is no longer effective.

Senate must make stand on Chinese activity in West Philippine Sea, Drilon says
(philstar.com) - May 20, 2018 - 1:30pm

MANILA, Philippines — The Senate should play a more active role in the Philippines' foreign policy, Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said in a radio interview on Sunday.

"The Senate should have strong resolve. This is a challenge to the new leadership: We must assert the Senate’s role in foreign relations. We must condemn this creeping invasion of our territory and sovereignty," Drilon said.

China's bombers 'clear and present danger' to PH: Golez
ABS-CBN News

Posted at May 20 2018 04:08 PM | Updated as of May 20 2018 04:40 PM

MANILA- China's deployment of long range bombers on disputed islands in the South China Sea is a "clear and present danger to the Philippines, former National Security Adviser Roilo Golez warned Sunday.

Golez said Beijing's recent move in the disputed waters should prompt President Rodrigo Duterte to convene the National Security Council to assess how to handle the situation.

"Yes, I could see that this is a clear and present danger to the Philippines and our friends in the area," he told ANC in an interview.

Confronting China means trouble – Duterte
Alexis Romero (The Philippine Star) - May 21, 2018 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines — Trouble would ensue if the Philippines insisted on its maritime claims in the South China Sea, President Duterte said.

Duterte stressed he is open to a joint exploration with China to avoid conflict, instead of confronting the military giant.

He reiterated that the Philippines does not have the capability to declare war on China, adding that a conflict would only result in the massacre of Filipino soldiers.

“You know, if you insist, there will be trouble. To the Chinese, what does it mean to you? War. What will we arm ourselves with if there’s a war? Will we resort to slapping each other?” the President said during the opening of the oil and gas production of the Alegria oil field in Cebu on Saturday.

Philippines refuses to call out China amid bomber in South China Sea
Patricia Lourdes Viray (philstar.com) - May 21, 2018 - 10:53am

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine government on Monday reiterated that diplomatic actions have been taken to address China's aggression in the South China Sea.

The Philippines, however, has not publicly expressed condemnation nor concern toward China's behavior in the contested waterway.

Last Friday, China's People's Liberation Army Air Force announced that it has landed an H-6K bomber on Woody Island, Beijing's largest base in the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.

Freedom of Infomation. They should publicly say what diplomatic actions were performed. They should show documentation as proof of diplomatic action. They love publicity of their payabang. They should more publicly broadcast on defending the country. Else, he is just a leadership for China benefits.
