Duterte Asks Trillanes & Aquino How PH Lost Scarborough Shoal

Rodrigo Duterte wants the administration to explain how PH lost Scarborough Shoal.

Presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte asked outgoing president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and senator Antonio Trillanes IV how the Philippines lost the Scarborough Shoal located at the disputed West Philippines Sea.

Scarborough Shoal

During a press briefing on Monday, the tough-talking Davao City Mayor said that he needs answer why the Filipinos can no longer operate an the shoal.

“I would like to know from anybody in the executive department of the past administration why we lost the Scarborough Shoal,” he said.

Duterte said that he can take the insults against him, but he can take the country lost its territory.

Duterte recalled Senator Trillanes “back-channel” talks with the China for 16 times. He claimed that after the last visit, the Philippines has lost the Scarborough Shoal.

Reacting to Duterte’s statement, Senator Trillanes said that his mission was to defuse the tension between China and Philippines. He also said that it is dangerous for the president to declare that the country lost the shoal.

According to Trillanes, Duterte claims can be grounds for impeachment. He said that he may face impeachment complaints after he assumes the presidency.

“If he did that, that’s an impeachable offense. Once he assumes office on June 30 and insists that we have lost Scarborough (Shoal), that’s already a basis for an impeachment complaint,” he was quoted by Sun Star.

On May 6, PDP-Laban, the party of Duterte, filed treason and espionage charges against Senator Trillanes and Preesident Aquino for initiating back-channel talks with China.

  4. Before Aquino leaves the office he must explain to the whole nation as CEO of the Republic what happened that the Chinese took over the Scarborough Shoal. How come that as CEO of the Philippines he did not do any thing nor say hey you’re crossing the line or anything. And to Trillanes, mag paliwanag ka. Sinabi mo na the Scarborough Shoal was not lost. Ok, granting that the Scarborough is not lost, how soon can you drive the Chinese out of the shoal. We need answer not idiotic alibi.
