MANILA, Philippines – Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos broke his silence on Wednesday, May 22, and denied forging an agreement with China on a “new model” to handle West Philippine Sea tensions as allegedly recorded in a wiretapped call. “I did not enter into any secret deals that will compromise the interests of our country. We are on the same team. Let us be united against this false narrative,” he said.
In the Senate hearing on Wednesday, Carlos admitted that he “received a phone call” from a Chinese military attaché, a senior colonel with the Chinese embassy, whom he identified as “Colonel Li.” The Filipino vice admiral said he had met Colonel Li “on several occasions in diplomatic events” as well as in “special events” by the AFP.
