Published May 2, 2021, 11:14 AM The Duterte administration’s position to blame the past Aquino administration for the problems in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) does not hold merit because the arbitral ruling was awarded during President Duterte’s time, the camp of Vice President Leni Robredo said on Sunday, May 2. The arbitral ruling by The Hague in The Netherlands was awarded in July 2016 when the President already holds office. VP Leni Robredo’s spokesman Barry Gutierrez (Barry Gutierrez Facebook page) “So ang tanong: ano magagawa natin ngayon, di ba? Iyon ‘yun eh. At sa akin, hindi sagot iyong eh kasalanan niyan ng dati (The question is: what can we do now, right? That’s it. For me, blaming the past is not the answer),” Vice presidential spokesman Barry Gutierrez during Robredo’s weekly radio show.
