Philippines won’t involve US in resolving dispute with China

By

MANILA, Philippines – The country won’t involve the United States in resolving its dispute with China over the rights to Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal, a Radyo Inquirer 990AM report said on Monday.

The report quoted deputy spokesperson Abigail Valte as saying that they were supportive of the Department of Foreign Affairs’ choice to resolve the issue through a diplomatic process between the two countries and left it to the said agency to act on suggestions of seeking assistance from members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).

The Malacañang has earlier stated that there was no need for a third party or mediator to assist in solving the ongoing standoff between a Philippine Navy ship and Chinese surveillance and fishing vessels at the Panatag Shoal which the country considered to be within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

For more of the report, listen to Radyo Inquirer 990AM.

    ASEAN concern is more concentrated in SPRATLY ISLANDS upon which each nation´s interest in EVERY ISLAND OF SPRATLY are concerned! Now,the SCARBOROUGH SHOAL are not the MAIN INTEREST OF ASEAN BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT BY LAW AND GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION THAT IT IS NOT THEIR CONCERN (EEZ) Let say,200 kms as an International rule!…The logic is simple “If Scarborough Shoal was located within 200kms and within territorial waters of Taiwan,…SHALL WE REACT?

    What assistance are we asking for from ASEAN regarding Scarborough Shoal?…Kung ang Scarborough Shoal eh nasa territorial waters ng Malaysia,PROBLEMA BA NATIN YUN?…Kung eto eh nasa Indonesia,PROBLEMA BA NATIN YUN?…Kung eto eh nasa Burma or Taiwan or Japan,PROBLEMA BA NATIN YUN?….This situation was EXACTLY THE SAME WHEN GREAT BRITAIN INVADED FALKLANDS LOCATED NEAR ARGENTINA….May nakialam bang neighboring countries?

    The last time somebody tried to involve the U.S. in a teritorial dispute was in 1974 when south vietnam invaded the paracel islands which are also claimed by China. The modern American-equipped vietnamese navy was promptly blown out of the water by the Chinese navy, and its occupying forces killed or captured by Chinese marines,thus resulting in an humiliating defeat for the disappointed  vietnamese who were hoping all along that their american allies would help them fight the Chinese. China was weak economically and militarily in those days. If the U.S. did not help south vietnam  when China was weak, do you think they will help us when now China is strong? We must challenge China to a U.N. arbitration where our claim will be favorably acted upon. Let this thorny issue be resolved once and for all.
