Former Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario,Jr. is
still criticizing the President when the latter described the arbitral ruling
as a scrap of paper.
“China, the illegal
occupant in the West Philippine Sea, believes that the arbitral ruling is a
mere scrap of paper. The Philippines is the country which won the arbitral
ruling against China,” former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario said
in a statement today, May 6.
Del Rosario noted that
“US, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, EU, Indonesia, and other
responsible nations believe that the Arbitral Ruling is valid, binding and
should be enforced against China pursuant to international law.”
“It is, therefore, a
national tragedy that the President of the Philippines takes the side of China
and believes that the Arbitral Ruling is a scrap of paper meant to be thrown in
the waste basket, to the severe prejudice of the Filipino people,” he
said.
The former DFA
Secretary further said that “it was China which deceitfully breached the
US-brokered agreement for a mutual withdrawal. Until now, China continues to
openly violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Philippines by
illegally occupying certain features in the West Philippine Sea. Why are
Filipinos being blamed for the loss of Scarborough Shoal and not China and its
duplicity.”
“We would like to
respectfully reiterate that it is the President’s sworn duty under the
Constitution to protect the West Philippine Sea and enforce the Arbitral Award
against China. With due respect, this is not a blaming game among Filipinos,
but a constitutional mandate to be acted upon a foreign aggressor for the
benefit of our country and the Filipino people,” the former defense chief said.
“I fully appreciated
the President’s desire to be informed regarding the US brokered agreement on
Scarborough and look forward to responding this issue,” del Rosario said.
