Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio on Saturday refuted repeated claims by President Rodrigo Duterte that China "is in control" of the West Philippine Sea.
"'Yung sinasabi ng presidente na ang China is in control - China is in control of eight islands. Geological features, artificial islands plus Scarborough Shoal. Ang total area niyan ay less than 7-6 percent of the total of West Philippine Sea. Napakaliit ang kontrol ng Tsina." "In fact, hindi naman kine-claim ng Tsina na they are in possession of the West Philippine Sea. They never have they claimed [it]. Pero si presidente kino-concede niya agad."
"'Yung Malampaya ang estimate ng gas reserve ay nasa $22 billion to $24 billion. E Maliit yan compared o Reed bank, doble ang Reed Bank," he said.
Duterte is China’s defacto Chinese ambassador to the Philippines. Woe to the Filipinos who still believe in this charlatan. DuterteDuwag
Duterte should be impeached for betrayal of public trust and national interest. He may have the numbers in both the House and Senate but Filipinos should know that Duterte prioritized China over PH. DuterteDuwag
It’s too late china will take over those islands, bye bye wps!
Shouldn't it be Carpio who needs to be careful of his pronouncements? That headline alone says that it's ok to surrender everything as long China claims it – that is, the ENTIRE South China Sea, which includes the whole WPS. FCJ Carpio should be debating against himself instead.
Parang nakikisakay nalang si carpio sa popularity ni duterte. Nakakahalata na.
carpio eh bakit niyo po sinurender ang scarborough shoal nung 2012? natakot po ba kayo sa china?
