There is no shift in the Philippines' stance as regards asserting the country's sovereignty in the West Philippine Sea , President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. said Friday. In an interview with GMA Integrated News, Marcos was asked if there was a shift in the administration's tone as he mentioned during his last State of the Nation Address that ''The Philippines is a friend to all. The Philippines is an enemy to none.
Meanwhile, Marcos said the Philippines would try to take more concrete steps in pushing for the conclusion of the Code of Conduct on the South China Sea as Manila will host the ASEAN Summit and Related Summits next year.
