MANILA, Philippines — Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso reiterated on Thursday that he will be “fearless” in fighting for the country’s territory if he is elected president
Moreno said in a statement that he will insist on the Hague ruling in 2016 where the Philippines won after the arbitral tribunal decided that China’s nine-dash line claim which includes a big portion of the WPS has no historical and legal basis.
“The MDT will be recognized, definitely. Treaties will be recognized. Trade with America, Vietnam, China, and all other nations will continue because the West Philippine Sea issue is far different from our economic and trade issues,” Moreno explained. The incident, which occurred last Tuesday, did not result in any injuries but forced the boats to abort their missionAyungin Shoal, where BRP Sierra Madre was intentionally grounded to serve as an outpost of the Philippine Navy, is well within the country’s exclusive economic zone .
But aside from that, he also said that he is in favor of expanding the training exercises between Filipino and American troops, under the Visiting Forces Agreement.
