CNA exclusive: Philippine FM Enrique Manalo on 'assertive transparency' in South China Sea
In an exclusive interview with CNA's Leong Wai Kit, Philippine Foreign Minister Enrique Manalo said viewing the South China Sea dispute only through the prism of competition between the US and China could impede ties between Manila and Beijing. He also defended Manila's strategy of "assertive transparency", which involves embedding the media in missions conducted by the Philippine coast guard, so they can report on what Manila sees as aggressive Chinese activities.
