Description:
- Amid accusations that he is being too soft on China, President Duterte on Tuesday said he asserted the Philippines’ sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea and merely granted fishing rights to Beijing. Duterte justified his decision to allow China to fish in Philippine waters, saying he was shielding the country from conflict.
