(Eagle News) — The Philippines won’t declare war against China, this was according to Political analyst Ramon Casiple.
In an interview in Net 25’s Liwanagin Natin, Casiple said that the Philippines will not declare war against China over the sea dispute, because the Philippine government through President Rodrigo Duterte wants friendly ties with China.
Casiple also said that our country and China have already built many plans and projects together, a reason for the Philippines will not go opt for hostilities with China.
“Mayroong posibility kasi ang pinag-aawayan natin territorial claims ang tawag dyan ay sovereignty. Pag sovereignty alam mo namang talagang mag-gi-giyera yan lalo na kung di ka marunong maghandle. At the same time, I doubt kung ganun ka-immediate o ganoon kalaki ang usaping na yan kasi nga nagliligawan tayo at ang China. Marami tayong pinag-uusapan na mga common project and etcetera at nagsimula na tayo ng proseso sa pag-uusap ng mga claim na yan,” Casiple said.
Casiple also said that territorial claim is not an easy topic; therefore the two countries could find a common ground which they can both agree on.
“Mahirap talagang magkaisa doon sa usapin ng territorial claim, kahit ilang henerasyon yan hindi matatapos yan. In the meantime, mag-usap tayo sa mga usapin na pwede naman tayong magkaisa, na pwede naman nating ihandle na hindi tayo maipit sa isang isyu lang at hindi mo na makita ang kabuuang historical relation sa China na actually it’s very broad, “ Casiple added.
