“WE, at the House of Representatives, vehemently condemn China’s recent actions that led to the collision of its coast guard vessel 5203 with the private resupply vessel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.”
Ito ang bungad ng mariing pahayag ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez matapos ang ginawang pagharang at pagbangga ng Chinese vessel sa Unaiza May 2, isang local cargo boat na kinontrata ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) para maghatid ng iba’t-ibang supplies sa BRP Sierra Madre sa bahagi ng Ayungin shoal.
“Such actions not only jeopardized the lives of those onboard but also threatened regional peace and stability,” ang dismayadong sabi pa ng lider ng Kamara. “We implore China to adhere to international maritime laws and standards, act with restraint, and guarantee the safety of all vessels in the West Philippine Sea,” paggigiit ni Romualdez.
Ayon sa House Speaker, tiyak na gagawin ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang lahat ng mapayapang pamamaraan upang mapigilan ang mga ganitong hakbang ng China sa hinaharap.
“Such incidents cannot be overlooked. The Philippine government will exhaust all diplomatic initiatives and mobilize the support of the international community to prevent these unlawful acts by its neighboring country — a country that is not just a trading partner but is also expected to be an ally,” sabi pa ni Romualdez.
