Teodoro was responding to question if the meeting of Duterte and Xi is a cause for concern for the Philippines considering the activities of China in the West Philippine Sea. "During your tenure as president of the Philippines, you had resolutely made the strategic choice to improve relations with China in an attitude of being responsible to the people and to history," Xi reportedly told Duterte.. He also said he welcomes any new line of communication with the Asian power amid issues in the South China Sea.
"If that is President PRRD then good. Hindi importante sa akin kung sino, kung ano, basta't may makausap sila baka makatulong eh," Marcos had said.
