Presidential candidate Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Sunday said the Philippines has the right to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine especially since the country is signatory to the United Nations charter.
Lacson was reacting to the question posed during the CNN Philippines’ presidential debate where candidates were asked if they agree to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana’s pronouncement on the need for the government to remain neutral “for now” on the issue. “While we renounce war as an instrument of foreign policy dahil nasa Constitution natin yan , pero may pakialam tayo kasi signatory tayo sa UN Charter,” he said.
