Acting AFP chief Glorioso Miranda will be discussing
terrorism during his participation to the Shangri-La Dialogue being held in Singapore
on Saturday, Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr said on Saturday.
Miranda will be one of the speakers during the 15th security
summit in Singapore
and he will be talking about the country’s experiences on jihadi terrorism,
Coloma said over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan.
“Mayroon kasing session hinggil sa pagtugon sa banta ng
jihadi terrorism sa Asya. Siya ay nasa programa, na isa siya sa mga resource
persons. Ibabahagi niya yung karanasan ng Pilipinas sa bagay na yan,” he said
during the radio interview.
Asked to comment on China’s statement saying the Philippines
is seeking to negate its sovereignty in the South China Sea by describing
Taiping Island as a reef and not an island in its arbitration court case,
Coloma said it is better to just wait for the ruling of the international
arbitral tribunal due this year.
“Mainam siguro dahil binanggit nila na yan ang bahagi ng
inihain nating petisyon, mainam na hintayin na lang ang pagpasya kasi meron
namang takdang panahon kung saan ay naihain natin ang ating mga isyu at marapat
lamang hintayin na lang natin ang pagpapasya ng international court,” he said
as a response.
“Sa lahat ng pagkakataon… ay mapayapa ang ating intensyon,
ang ating approach ay rule-based at diplomatic,” the Palace official said
noting the Philippines
has no bad intentions towards other countries.
“Tumatalima tayo doon sa Declaration on the Conduct of
Parties in the South China Sea . Kasama din
naman niyan ang People’s Repubic of China at ang iba’t ibang bansa ng ASEAN.”
The South China Sea issue is expected to be the focal point
in the well-attended security summit with much attention focusing on China ’s
island-building activities in the contested water.
