Magdalo Party-list Rep. Gary Alejano once again hit the
administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Alejano was irked by Presidential Spokesperson Salvador
Panelo casual response to the recommendations given by former Foreign Affairs
Secretary Albert Del Rosario following the reported sinking of a Filipino fishing boat reportedly caused by a Chinese vessel.
Earlier, the former Foreign Affairs official gave his suggestion
that the Philippine government should now take a “multilateral approach” after
the recent incident, which further escalated the tensions between the two
countries.
However, Panelo allegedly ignored Del Rosario’s advice,
saying the government should not be told what to do.
This statement from Panelo reportedly irked Alejano saying
any Filipino citizen has the right to demand from his government.
“Any Filipino citizen has the right to demand from his govt.
A government that does not want its citizens to demand is an authoritarian or
communist,” Alejano said in a Facebook post.
On June 13, ABS CBN reported that Panelo ignored Del Rosario’s
comments to hold China accountable on the collision of its vessel and Filipino
fishing boat.
"He doesn't have to tell us what to do. We know what to
do. Dapat ginawa nila 'yan noon nung sila 'yung andiyan pa” Presidential
Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said during a Palace press briefing.
