WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Friday questioned his predecessor former President Rodrigo Duterte as to what he compromised in the " secret agreement " he made with China .In a press conference with reporters, Marcos said that he had three questions regarding the supposed agreement — is there such an agreement, what was contained in it, and why was it made secret.
Marcos said that while Duterte characterized the transaction as "status quo," China has maintained that there was an agreement made, but details were not given to him when he stepped into office."Sagot ko naman, wala, kami, tayong dalawa, wala tayong usapan at 'yung nakaraang administrasyon, wala silang sinasabi sa amin tungkol diyan, so papano namin magagawa kung gusto namin sundan, kung ayaw naming sundan, hindi namin alam," he said.
