The US Congress shows support over the Philippines by p(–foul word(s) removed–)ing a resolution regarding the position of the Philippines when it comes to the overlapping claims of the disputed territory in South China Sea.
The resolution has been p(–foul word(s) removed–)ed last Friday and it includes the statement supporting the Philippines over its stand on a peaceful talk between the two countries claiming the territories and prohibits the use of violence to acquire ownership.
With great honor and privilege, Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario has given a statement last Sunday welcoming the support expressed by the US Congress to the country.
The debate between China and the Philippines in regards to whose territory belong the islands found in South China Sea which is believed to be rich in gas started when China makes an aggressive action by deploying several patrol ship in the disputed territory which has alarmed the Philippines and other neighboring countries including Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan.
The Philippines and the United States has always been good allies for how many years and so this kind of support coming from the US is not surprising knowing that America has once colonized the Philippines and this has made the relationship of the two country’s intact ever since.
Authorities from the Philippines has once tried to convince China to settle this issue of territorial claims in multilateral talks and bring this problem to the UN tribunal for proper action however, China has refused the offer and insisted for a bilateral talk between the two countries.
