DEFENSE Secretary Gilbert Teodoro maintained on Saturday, April 27, 2024, that the Philippines has not entered into any contracts with any Chinese government officials concerning Ayungin Shoal. In a statement, Teodoro slammed China anew for “another crude attempt to advance a falsehood.” “The Department of National Defense is not aware of, nor is it a party to, any internal agreement with China on Ayungin Shoal since President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. took office.
The Philippines keeps denying these common understandings. What exactly is their issue? Is there something they are trying to hide?' Wang said. Ren’ai Jiao is the Mandarin Chinese name of the Ayungin Shoal. 'Breach of commitments and provocations will only escalate the situation and eventually backfire on the Philippines itself. We hope the Philippines will face that squarely and decide sensibly what its action should be,' he added.
