Netizens Adolfo Mortera praised President Duterte strategy for choosing a peaceful way of resolving the West Philippine Sea dispute.
Mortera cited that it there’s a winner in this part, it is the Filipino fishermen who didn’t cast their nets in the shoal for almost four years.
He also thinks that China without a word, already recognized Philippines rights over West Philippine Sea and left Scarborough quietly and discreetly to save face.
This is the full post of Aldofo Mortera on Facebook:
Although PRRD and China’s PM discussed the Scarborough shoal, there was no joint statement after their meeting, according to reports.
No statement “allowing” Filipino fishermen access to the Scarborough due to objection from Philippine panel.
But there was tacit agreement between the two leaders.
We now know several fishermen have cast their nets in the shoal today. Success!
And most importantly, the Chinese Coast guards are no longer around to block or chase them.
This could be the best modus vivendi under present circumstances.
China, without saying a word, recognizes Philippine rights over these waters, and that they are within our exclusive economic zone.
President Duterte didn’t press the issue.
China saw it as a window to save face, and left Scarborough quietly and discreetly.
It’s a win-win. But the biggest winners are our fishermen.
That’s how I see it, and I pray it stays that way.
Postscript: President Duterte was able to clean up the Scarborough mess created by Aquino, within 4 months!
