Two Philippines senators push Malacañang on Sunday for bilateral talks with China in West Philippine Sea dispute.

Senator Francis Escudero and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said that Malacañang should have a dialogue with China and find a peaceful resolution in the West Philippine Sea.

“The Philippines should not rely solely on rules-based approach in resolving the dispute, especially after the US has joined the pictures in the Spratly Islands.” Marcos said in a radio station dzBB interview.

“Ngayon, napasok na ang superpower na Amerika. Kung may mangyari between Amerika and China, hindi tayo maiipit. Madudurog tayo,” he told dzBB radio in an interview.
“Now that America is in the picture if something happens between America and China, we’re not just only caught, but we’re all being crushed,” he told dzBB radio in an interview.
 “Kausapin na natin ang mga Chinese hindi lang sa government-to-government level, kung hindi pati na rin unofficially. Marami namang mga Pilipinong nasa gobyerno na marami ring kaibigan sa China. Puwede nilang kausapin ang kanilang mga kaibigan at itanong kung paano maaayos ito. Hindi lang formal engagement ang kailangan natin,” he said.

We should talk to the Chinese not only in a government-to-government level but also in unofficial level, Many Filipinos in the government have a friend in China. They can talk to their friends and ask how to fix it. We don’t need only formal engagement,” he said.

“The Philippine government should utilize both diplomatic and back channels in talking to China,” Marcos said
chizEscudero also said in a separate radio interview that the Philippines has nothing to lose if it initiates bilateral talks with China even while its arbitration case before the United Nations’ (UN) Arbitral Tribunal is ongoing.

“Ano ba naman ang mawawala sa atin kung makipag-usap tayo sa multilateral, regional or bilateral (na setting)? Basta ang mahalaga ‘wag tayong bibigay ‘pag one-on-one na ang usapan,” Escudero said.

What to loose if we speak in a multilateral, regional or bilateral (setting)? But what’s important, we don’t give up if it’s already a one-on-one conversation,” Escudero said.

The senator, however, said bilateral talks with China can only proceed if the Philippines shows it is mutually interested in pursuing that tack.

  2. Di bale na madurog ng patay kaysa madurog pero hindi mamatay matay. Taksil kayo ng bayan sdahil sa inyong mga pahayag tinatanggalan ninyo ng dignidad ang pagiging bansa ng Pilipinas.

  3. HOY mga ampaw! Esko Bong2, relax lng kayo dyan. Patience ba! Wag nyo bobohin ang utak ng iba. Ang south china sea hindi yan problema ng pilipinas, vietnam, china, US o ibang Asean lng. Problema yan sa mga involve na multi countries na dyan dumadaan ang economic activities nila. Kaya hindi yan pwede pag.uusapan sa dalawang estado laang. Mas malaki ang problemahin ng Pilipinas pag.hindi win win situation ang ibang countries na involve dyan gaya ng Europe, US, Japan o India at dami pa na mga countries na may indirect relation sa China. Tulongan nlng ninyo paano mapabilis ang solution sa mga ongoing case by international law. Wag nyo dagdagan ang problema. Lalo wagnawag kayo bumibigay agad sa pakipag bilateral talk. Wag din kayo matatakot nasa tamang paraan na tayo!! Tandaan ninyo ang gumagawa at nag aaproba sa mga international laws ay kasama doon ang chinese law delegates.. Getz!! Clear na!! Relax lng ba..

(di nila naiisip yan mga magnanakaw ng bayan.) ang mga chinese di yan magpapalugi bagkus, manglalamang pa yan. ang style nyan magbibigay akala mo generous talaga pero “MAY DOUBLE PURPOSE YAN”.
