Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice
Antonio Carpio is on the news again.
Early this week he suggested that the country
should jointly patrol with Malaysia and Vietnam disputed areas in the South
China Sea to check China’s aggressiveness in the area while the countries
involve are currently busy with the novel coronavirus disease or COVID-19.
“We don’t do that because if we make a
mistake, you can trigger an accidental war. Navies really do not do that unless
you want to bully another country,” he told an online forum with the Foreign
Correspondents Association of the Philippines.

“I think China doesn’t want to let this
pandemic crisis go to waste by taking advantage,” he said. “We are battling a
pandemic that came from China and China’s taking advantage of our difficulty
right now.” He adds.
Esperon shuts down Carpio
National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon calls
out Carpio and said that et defense experts handle security matters.
"Kung ang iniisip ni Justice Carpio ay
pakikipag-giyera eh iwanan na lang niya iyan sa defense [department] at
kinikilala natin siya sa larangan ng hustisya, eh huwag na siyang masyadong
pumapel sa pakikipag-giyera," Esperon said.
(If Justice Carpio is thinking of going to war
then he should leave that to the defense [department] since we know him in the
field of justice, he shouldn't concern himself with going to war.)
Esperon explains that the country should use
its resources wisely and should study thoroughly the matters in the disputed
waters carefully.
"Huwag tayong pumasok sa alanganin,"
Esperon said.
(Let's not put ourselves in an awkward
situation.)
