It was earlier reported that the Chinese President is set to visit the Philippines.
Former Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano disclosed this news last August.
“We are looking forward to President Xi visiting the country this year but we are still talking about specific dates. We are working as if the visit will push through. I think both sides wanted it,” he said in an interview.
