SUPORTADO ni House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo ang magiging posisyon ni Pangulong Duterte sa panukala na magkaroon ng joint investigation ang Pilipinas at China sa nangyaring pagbangga sa bangka ng mga mangingisdang Pilipino sa Recto Bank.
Sa panayam, sinabi ni Arroyo na alam ng Pangulo kung ano ang kanyang ginagawa sa usapin ng pinag-aagawang teritoryo sa West Philippine Sea.
“I’ve already said in general, on this matter I support President Duterte because he knows what he’s doing and he wants to be friends with China and at the same time of course he is also promoting the national interest which is also my attitude,” ani Arroyo.
Sinabi ni Arroyo na hindi masama na makipagkaibigan sa China para sa kapakanan ng bansa.
“We want to be friends with China but the parameters must be national interest. That is the same parameter the President is espousing. So I support fully whatever will be his action,” dagdag pa ni Arroyo.
Naunang sinabi ni Lu Kang, spokesperson ng Chinese foreign ministry, na nais ng China na magkaroon ng joint marine inquiry kaugnay ng paglubog ng bangka ng 22 mangingisda sa Recto Bank noong Hunyo 9.
