TAKE A STAND, ASEAN TOLD

The Philippines has asked the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) to take a stand on its dispute with China over territorial claims to Scarborough Shoal (Panatag Shoal) and on other Chinese incursions in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).

“All, not just the Philippines, will ultimately be negatively affected if we do not take a stand,” Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said on Saturday in a text message to the Inquirer.
