DEFENSE Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, who was once tagged by no less than President Rodrigo âDigongâ Duterte as a Central Intelligence Agency man, demonstrated his pro-United States bias when he quickly disagreed with Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilianâs view that the âoverturesâ (a very apt term) of US Defense officials, who recently visited the country, were âsowing chaos.â
Without going into the merits, or lack of them, of Huangâs views, I believe it was not the call of Lorenzana to react to them. That should have been the call of the Americans. After all, they were the ones who made the overtures! Why speak for them?
