DID President Joseph Ejercito Estrada promise to remove the BRP Sierra Madre, the dilapidated World War 2 vessel he had run aground in Ayungin (Second Thomas) Shoal in November 1999, to serve as a military outpost for less than a dozen Marines flying the Philippine flag as a token symbol of Philippine sovereignty over the disputed atoll?
(UPDATE) SEN. Joseph Victor JV Ejercito on Tuesday said that administrations that succeeded the Estrada presidency are partly at fault for not establishing a permanent base in Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
IT s bordering on hilarious that Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo and his predecessor, the late Albert del Rosario s propaganda outfit Stratbase ADR, have been shrieking for the implementation of the 2016 arbitration ruling on the Philippine suit against China, with three ignorant and noisy senators even demanding for our government to ask the United Nations to ask for Chinese compliance with it.
