WE support the efforts by the government and private groups to foster bilateral relations between the Philippines and China. China has been upset with the administration's moves to modernize security cooperation with the United States, including the renewal and expansion of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA). But as President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said recently, the Philippines was not moving away from China.
“It is my firm belief that our relationship must not be defined by our innate differences,” Mr. Marcos said in an event of the Association for Philippines-China Understanding (APCU). “We may have such differences, all friends do,” he said, adding that his government remained committed to bringing the two countries closer together.
