SENATORS on Monday denounced China’s latest act of seizing and throwing away food intended for Philippine troops manning BRP Sierra Madre at Ayungin Shoal.“Be it in times of war or in peace, it is imperative that all nations uphold the principles of empathy, compassion, and respect for human life as enshrined in the Geneva Convention,” Sen. Nancy Binay reminded China.
Moreover, the senator reminded that “the obstruction of medical aid to our personnel is an affront to these international norms and human dignity.” “It is clear now,” she added, noting that the Chinese elements are not only ready to lay to waste natural resources, they can also waste the food of our troops.”
