MANILA - Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Sunday urged President Rodrigo Duterte to raise the issue of the rising number of Chinese ships in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone in his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.“The presence of Chinese vessels into our territories is alarming. What is more alarming is that nobody knows what these ships are doing in our territory; even the government is clueless. They should not have crossed our EEZ in the first place.
“We commend the Secretary of Defense for all his actions to protect our territories and uphold our claim in the West Philippine Sea. We support him and the Filipino people should rally behind him,” he said. Duterte is scheduled to visit China later this month — the fifth time since he assumed office in 2016 — to discuss maritime issues with Xi.
The President earlier said he will finally raise Manila’s 2016 arbitral victory, which invalidated Beijing’s sweeping maritime claims, during his visit.
Too late duterte u already sold phils to chinese wag ng kunyari may pa raise issue ka pang nalalaman dyan!!!
Takot lang nyan ni TANDA!!! No BALLS YAN pagdating sa CHINESE!!!
Duterte and his dogs is scared AF. He would rather suck Xi Jinping’s D*ck than anger him with the international ruling. 🤦🏻♂️

China does not need to spend for intelligence gathering against the Philippines del_lorenzana. No less than RRD_Davao and yourself have bared the bone and soul of the AFP's capabilities to the world. China is just collecting what RRD_Davao promised them. If they just sail, freedom of navigation If they conduct mapping & research, ibang usapan na yan!
