tv MANILA - Experts on the West Philippine Sea are pointing out what they claim are factual errors in President Rodrigo Duterte's State of the Nation Address, which they say may lead the public to make the wrong conclusions about the situation in the West Philippine Sea.Government officials have said what the President meant was the Chinese were in position, but the transcript by the Presidential Communications Operations Office clearly showed Duterte did say possession.
Both Carpio and De La Salle University International Studies Professor Renato de Castro said there were factual errors in Duterte's SONA that must be corrected. Carpio said Chinese incursion in the South China Sea actually began as far back as the 1940s. It first took half of the Paracels from Vietnam, as well as Itu Aba Island in 1946.
"This is a gradual creeping expansion by China since 1946. You cannot fix it in Scarborough Shoal, because Scarborough Shoal is just one of the events that started way back in 1946," Carpio said. "Pangalawa, iyung pangingisda ng Chinese, Hindi iyan traditional, commercial iyan. Dahil gumagamit sila ng malalaking barko, at of course technology," De Castro added.
