Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda on Friday expressed hope that the bilateral team which will be strengthened by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. would bring the "needed balance" to the relationship between the Philippines and China.
The President said he proposed the strengthening of a bilateral team that would discuss issues in the resource-rich region during his meeting with the Chinese leader. Legarda also expressed delight over Marcos' discussion of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea during his state visit, saying this along with the 2016 Hague ruling "should continue to be the basis of this new relationship being forged."
Although he said that the WPS bilateral mechanism has been in place since the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III said strengthening it is a "good move." The Philippines and China also signed an agreement for the establishment of a communication mechanism on maritime issues between the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.Diplomatic protests have been filed over alleged Chinese harassment of Filipino fishermen.
