The Philippines maintain its place
of taking multiparty approach in addressing disputes issue with China on South
China Sea. Amid information tells the presence of boats from Chinese in Recto
Bank.
"No bilateral discussion will
happen with them because this is a dispute that gripped more not just one but
more two parties. It makes no sense for Philippines to bargain bilaterally if
the claimants to those doubtful seas or waters would encompass more than two petitioner
countries.” Edwin Lacierda said.
Philippine government will not close
down in filing diplomatic and legal means in the resolution of the dispute. A
diplomatic protest has been filed. It is not an issue of whether they will heed
the diplomatic protest. What important is that government of the Philippines continues
to emphasize its right against neighbors. And this will continue for that reason.
Philippine authorities said that
it will pursue its disputed case with china in a multilateral manner, even
though China have increased its patrols in the disputed area on the area
believed to be holding large amount of gas and oil reserves.
