President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said that the Philippines will not give up its claims on the South China Sea, saying that it was one line he would not cross even as it attempts to establish a good relationship with China regarding the disputed waters.Marcos said this in an interview with Bloomberg on the sidelines of the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos.
“Both sides say that this area belongs– we say it is the maritime territory of the Philippines, and, of course, China says the same,” he added. “That is something that will not move. It’s something that we cannot cross because it’s a very slippery road from there,” he added. Marcos made a State Visit to China early this month. During his trip, he noted that the “incidents” in the South China Sea indicated poor communication between the two sides.
