The pullout from cinemas of the Hollywood film “Uncharted” as ordered by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) — upon the request of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) — has received mixed reaction.

President Duterte is still not keen on cooperating with any inquiry of the International Criminal Court (ICC) despite the latest Supreme Court ruling on the country’s pullout from the Rome Statue.

The United States offered to mediate to resolve the 2012 Panatag Shoal standoff between the Philippines and China, but did “nothing” when the deal fell through, according to President Duterte.

A debate between President Duterte and retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio on the West Philippine Sea might still push through when the former steps down from office next year.

The government is confident that a coronavirus vaccine developed by China’s Sinopharm will soon secure approval for its emergency use in the country.

Malacañang said President Duterte will still be able to get his second dose of the Sinopharm coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine despite his request to China to pull out the said brand from the Philippines.

A former government official should be given the death sentence over his role in the loss of a territory during a standoff with China years ago, President Duterte declared Wednesday night.

President Duterte is furious with two former government officials for supposedly passing the blame for the latest situation in the West Philippine Sea.

Malacañang has kept its distance from the profanity-laced comment of Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. against the lingering presence of Chinese ships in local waters.
