President Marcos: PH position in South China Sea not weakened by arrangements with Beijing

MANILA- President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Friday that the arrangements the country has with Beijing in the South China Sea have not weakened Manila's position in any way.

Marcos, in remarks at an event with foreign journalists, said there was no special arrangement under which the Philippines needs to ask permission from China to carry out resupply missions in the South China Sea or give up its rights.
