I wonder which Philippine Congressmen or Senators are in China's pocket:

PH can’t make deals on territorial claims without clearance from Congress – senators

Gil C. Cabacungan Jr.


MANILA, Philippines – Senators cautioned the Aquino administration on Monday about entering into any agreement with other countries that would affect the country’s territorial claims without seeking Congress’ approval.

Senators Sergio Osmeña III and Ralph Recto said that the Department of Foreign Affairs should have first consulted with lawmakers before negotiating with Malaysia on the Philippines pursuit of its territorial claims in the extended continental shelf (ECS) in the West Philippine Sea.
“Any treaty must undergo Senate oversight and approval. It might even require an amendment to our Constitution,” said Osmeña.

Very good, I bet if this was not detected or reported we might be seeing another deal in the making which is against the interest of the Philippines and its people.

Palace: No such Sabah offer

Malacañang on Monday dismissed a report that the Philippines has offered to ease its claim on Sabah in return for Malaysia’s support in Manila’s territorial dispute with China.

“There is absolutely no basis to such report,” its spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a statement.

Lacierda’s comment was sought on a Vera Files story that was published by The Manila Times on Monday.
