President Rodrigo Duterte has invited former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile to MalacaƱang to discuss the issue of the West Philippine Sea.
In his taped address aired over state-run PTV-4 Friday, Duterte said he admires Enrile’s intellect.
“We have respectfully invited Senator Enrile to come here kasi hindi naman ako puwedeng lumabas na mag-usap. Pakinggan natin siya. Hindi na ako magsalita, Makikinig lang ako sa kanya kasi he was there right at the beginning,” the country’s chief executive said.
“Sa kanya bilib sa utak at pag-intindi nitong problema, itong ating West Philippine Sea,” he added.
Duterte expressed hope the 97-year-old former senate president would accept his invitation to a meeting on Monday.
“I hope that Senator Enrile would accept the invitation to be our guest here, Monday, kasi, more or less, isa siya sa mga tao na nirerespeto ko talaga intellectually,” he said.
