By Senate foreign relations committee chairman Erwin Tulfo on Wednesday said the upper chamber is open to dialogue with the Chinese Embassy in Manila amid the ongoing word war between China’s diplomats and Filipino lawmakers and government officials.
Tulfo, the new head of one of the major committees in the Senate, met Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro at the Department of Foreign Affairs, where they had frank and candid discussions on relevant issues facing the agency, including Manila’s bilateral relations with Beijing and the South China Sea disputes.
