Real talk.
Department of National Defense (DND) Secretary
Delfin Lorenzana explains that even without the 2016 Permanent Court of
Arbitration (PCA) ruling which invalidated Chinese claims over the West
Philippine Sea, the Philippines is committed to protecting its rightful territories.
“What President (Rodrigo) Duterte said last night regarding
the PCA ruling is correct. There is no international law enforcement body that
can enforce it. However, even without the PCA ruling, we will continue to
defend what is rightfully ours,” DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a
statement.

This came after the Chief Executive, in his public address on
Wednesday night, claimed that invoking the 2016 PCA ruling is just a waste of
time.
“Iyang papel, sa totoong buhay between
nations, iyang papel, wala iyan (The document showing our victory, in
real life, that is nothing between nations),” he said.
The President also said he attempted to assert the ruling but
the country gained nothing from it.
“Tayo
nanalo. Ngayon pagdating ko, ang barko nandiyan sa West Philippine
Sea, China ship. Tayo wala na. Tapos sabi nila itong papel sa kaso na nanalo tayo, i-pursue mo. Pinursue ko, walang nangyari (We won. Now,
China’s ships are still there in the West Philippine Sea when I assumed office.
However, we already withdrew ours. And they are convincing me to pursue the
ruling. I pursued it but nothing happened),” he added.
