The Department of Foreign Affairs must broker updated security agreements with other countries to defend the Philippines from China's continuous aggression, Senator Risa Hontiveros.
Hontiveros issued the remark after Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo said during a security conference in Germany that the harassment of Filipino fishermen and Coast Guard personnel is a "daily situation that we face." Hontiveros said the Philippines should not only depend on its Mutual Defense Treaty with the United States in protecting its sovereign rights over the West Philippine Sea, pointing out that similar agreements can also be forged with other countries that want to maintain peace and stability in the region.
“Sa labang ito, nag-iisa ang Tsina, habang tayo, napakaraming kakampi [In this fight, China is alone but we are not]. Let us maximize the reinforcement of the international community and consolidate all this support once and for all,” Hontiveros added.
