Hinikayat ni Vice President Leni Robredo si Pangulong Rodrigo
Duterte maging mas matapang sa kanyang paninidigan laban sa China matapos ang
pangyayari sa Recto Bank.
Ayon sa statement ni Robredo nitong Linggo, dapat manindigan
ang gobyerno para ipaglaban ang karapatan ng bansa matapos ang insidente.
“Now is the time for a shift in policy, from being passive
to being more courageous in asserting our rights. From bowing our heads in
subservience to holding our heads up high as a free and independent people,”
Ayon sa kanya
Dagdag ni Robredo, hindi umano nirerespeto ng China ang
karapatan ng Pilipinas sa West Philippine Sea dahil ayaw igiit ng gobyerno ang ruling ng international arbitral tribunal.
“Its failure to consistently contest Chinese encroachment in
our waters was inevitably going to result in less and less respect of our laws
and sovereignty from China—and to the direct harm of our people,” ani ng
Vice President.
“It is still not too late. Now is the time for a shift in
policy, from being passive to being more courageous in asserting our rights.
From bowing our heads in subservience, to holding our heads up high as a free
and independent people,” dagdag ni Robredo
Maliban kay Robredo, nagsabi rin si Senator Risa Hontiveros
na basagin na ang kanyang pananahimik.
“Mr Pres, break your silence on this serious issue. The
people need assurance from their own Pres,” Sambit ni Hontiveors sa
kanyang tweet.
“If you can make public statements on the most mundane
things, you can certainly do the same on this extremely important matter,” Dagdag
niya
