ASEAN Newspapers- Sat., Aug. 29, 2020- MANILA- Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr.: Scrap contracts with barred China firms
Palace: Sangley deal still on
MANILA, Philippines — Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said yesterday he would “strongly recommend” the termination of government contracts with Chinese firms found involved in reclamation activities in the West Philippine Sea.
“If I find that any of those companies are doing business with us, then I would strongly recommend we terminate that relationship with that company. If they were in any way involved in the reclamation, then it becomes consistent on our part to terminate any contract with them,” Locsin said in an interview with CNN Philippines.
Locsin made the statement after the US government blacklisted 24 state-owned firms for taking part in building artificial islands in South China Sea and West Philippine Sea.
