Enrile to shed light on PH loss of Scarborough Shoal – Roque

By Prince Golez

Former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile will shed light on the role of former senator Antonio Trillanes IV and former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario on why the Philippines lost Scarborough Shoal in 2012, Malacañang said Monday.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the statement after Enrile accepted the invitation of President Rodrigo Duterte to discuss issues concerning the West Philippine Sea.

“Sabi nga ng Pangulo, former senator Enrile was there right at the beginning. Kinakailangan po nating pakinggan ang sasabihin ng dating senador dahil magandang malaman ang papel ni dating senador Antonio Trillanes at dating secretary Albert del Rosario sa usapin ng pagkawala ng Scarborough Shoal sa Pilipinas,” Roque said in a virtual presser.

“Ang pagkawala ng Scarborough Shoal ang naging hudyat ng kaguluhan sa West Philippine Sea na dati naman po ay tahimik. Antayin natin mamaya kung ano sabihin ni dating senador Enrile,” he added.

The secretary said they needed Enrile’s “insights” because he was the country’s longest serving defense secretary.

“During the Marcos administration nagsimula yung (Presidential Decree No.) 1596 nung pagkabit sa Kalayaan Island Group sa ating teritoryo.”
