Aksyon Demokratiko bet and Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno on Sunday vowed that he will personally call on members of the United Nations to recognize the Hague ruling at the UN General Assembly should he win the elections.
“Because kung tayo ay tinatawag na nagkakaisang bansa at meron tayong obligasyon sa isa’t isa bilang nasyon, bakit kapag kayo ay naniningil ng aming obligasyon, gusto niyo tuparin namin pero kapag kami na ang naningil, parang walang dumadating na tulong sa amin?” he added. “Any foreign vessel, entering into our sovereign territory, I’ll make sure they will be a decorative item under the sea, within the Philippine ocean,” he said.
Vice President Leni Robredo said that despite differing views among claimants on a Code of Conduct, the Philippines should lead the way in continuously pushing for one using the Hague ruling as leverage.
