There is no one to blame but China when the Philippines lost Panatag Shoal in 2012, according to former Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario, who was serving under then-President Benigno S. Aquino III during the West Philippine Sea stalemate.

“First, we would like to highlight the fact that the secretary of Foreign Affairs is not part of the chain of command present in the military, the Navy or the Coast Guard. This is a basic principle that any good soldier or naval officer knows. Under the law, the mandate of the secretary of Foreign Affairs is in the conduct of diplomacy and foreign relations.

“[N]o Filipino is to blame for having the word of honor in following the agreement for mutual withdrawal. It was China which illegally seized Scarborough Shoal from our country. As mentioned, in 2012, we withdrew our one or two ships from Scarborough Shoal while China deceitfully breached the US-brokered agreement by not withdrawing their more than 30 ships,’’ he said.
