House leaders sounded the alarm over what they described as Vice President Sara Duterte’s “deafening silence” on Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea and the involvement of some Chinese nationals in transnational crimes in the country, calling for a “survey” to reveal the foreign policy positions of elected officials.
“If we are talking about the sovereignty of our country, we should expect politicians to at least issue a statement. But for the longest time that she has been Vice President—July 1, 2022 until now – have you heard anything she said against China? The answer is nothing,” he added. In his letter to PDP President and Senator Robin Padilla, Tolentino said: “This decision comes after a careful consideration and is due to significant differences in our foreign policy directions, particularly regarding the West Philippine Sea.”
