Galvez said that the territorial dispute of China and Philippines in the West Philippine Sea is a “separate issue” from the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Separate po ‘yung issue na ‘yan. The Chinese government is joining us in the fight against COVID-19. It’s a fight for humanity. Talagang itong issue ng West Philippine Sea ay iba po ‘yan (It is a separate issue. The Chinese government is joining us in the fight against COVID-19. It’s a fight for humanity. The issue in the West Philippine Sea is really different),” said Galvez, a former military general and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff.

Rodriguez made the assurance after senators raised concerns over the voting procedure.
The Lower House is expected to resume debates on Resolution of Both Houses No.2 to tackle the proposed amendments to the economic provisions on the 1987 Constitution this week and vote on it before Congress goes into Holy Week break on March 27.
“Although the Constitution is silent on the voting issue, we are making the commitment that we will vote separately on Cha-cha, with each chamber obtaining the constitutionally required three-fourths vote of all its members to endorse any amendment,” Rodriguez said in a statement.
