President Marcos reorganized the central inter-agency body tasked to provide a strategic approach in addressing territorial disputes in the West Philippine Sea in a bid to strengthen maritime security and domain awareness.
The EO was released days after the latest string of dangerous maneuvers and water cannon attack by China against Philippine vessels. The President earlier said the Philippines would not be cowed into silence amid China’s aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea. “Of course, my brother is already cranky…Theproblem is that we listen too much to the prodding of the Americans,”the senator added. “We should talk to China even if we are already pissed off… Our relationship with China is not good – we have to admit that much.”
National Security Council Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya,however, said the agency is not aware of nor does it recognize any”gentleman’s agreement” claimed by Roque.
