NAPAKABABA ng kredibilidad ng China para mag-akusa sa Pilipinas na nag-uudyok ng problema sa pagsama sa US sa joint patrol sa West Philippine Sea.
“Sino ba ang nananakop? It is China. The Philippines is not stirring up trouble, this is the reversal of the truth. It’s an absolute falsity for China to say that,” sabi ni Teodoro sa press briefing sa anibersaryo ng Department of National Defense sa Camp Aguinaldo sa Quezon City.
Ang muling pambabaligtad ng China sa katotohanan ay kaakibat ng naratibo nito.
“It is, again, reversing the truth, consistent with its narrative. The Philippines is not stirring up trouble as we always reiterate.”
“Our interests are to protect our rights, in accordance with Unclos (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) and the international law which China purports to respect in words, but unfortunately not in deeds. So I think whatever China says about this, I think their credibility is very very low,” anang kalihim. (NIÑO ACLAN)
