FORMER President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese Embassy officials are being called upon to participate in the congressional inquiry regarding the alleged gentleman’s agreement aimed at maintaining the status quo over Ayungin Shoal.
“This is a resolution directing the House of Representatives to investigate, in aid of legislation, the veracity of the alleged promise to remove BRP Sierra Madre from the Ayungin Shoal as claimed by China,” Castro said. House Committee on National Defense and Security Vice Chairman Raul Tupas instructed the secretariat of the committees to resend invitations to the past administration officials who did not attend the hearing on Monday.
Majority Leader Jay Khonghun expressed concern over the escalating tensions caused by China’s actions in the WPS, which adversely affected the livelihoods of Filipino fishermen. Assistant Majority Leader Francisco Paolo Ortega V ridiculed China’s threats and likened them to implementing the Lina Law, which pertains to squatting on someone’s property.
