ICYMI: “Para sa akin, iyong dalawang statements na iyon ay hindi na bansa natin iyong — may pagkiling na talaga, may pagkiling na sa China,” Robredo said.
Robredo said the arbitral decision should “not be taken lightly.”“Kasarinlan natin saka sovereignty iyong pinag-uusapan dito, na hindi mo puwedeng i-take lightly iyong naging desisyon, kasi kaya tayo umabot sa ganoong punto dahil sa pananakop sa mga pag-aari natin. Napakalaking win iyon sa atin,” she stressed.
The Vice President also said she is just restraining herself from commenting on political matters to focus on the COVID-19 surge.“Umiiwas akong magkomento ng anything political ngayong nag-2nd surge, kasi para sa akin, dapat all hands on deck tayo ngayon, dahil malala iyong pinagdadaanan natin as far as COVID is concerned,” she explained.
“Pero iyong statements na iyon, iyong dalawang statements na iyon, seryoso iyon. Seryoso siya kasi mali. Seryoso siya kasi iyong sovereignty na natin iyong parang tinatapon mo sa labas ng bintana,” she said. “Para sa akin, iyong dalawang statements na iyon ay hindi na bansa natin iyong — may pagkiling na talaga, may pagkiling na sa China,” she lamented.
