GRACE POE ON PH-CHINA AGREEMENTS

Of fundamental importance for undertakings involving numerous agreements and billions in dollars of funds are transparency and accountability.

One of the agreements signed takes primacy because it involves exploration activities in Philippine territory, which is under dispute. It could not just be an economic issue, but a matter of sovereignty.

Let us not forget that we have at our fingertips the legal victory from the international arbitral tribunal. We should use this to our advantage.

The government owes it to the Filipinos to divulge the details of the agreements to see if there are potentials for red flags or if there are elements that would put us at a disadvantage.

At the end of the day, it is the people's money that would pay for all these projects, thus the people should have a say.

Hindi naman masamang makipagkasunduan, siguraduhin lang natin na hindi tayo maiisahan.
