Hindi Ito Marites: Easing tensions between the Philippines and China

University of the Philippines political science professor Enrico Gloria, with a graduate degree from Beijing’s Tsinghua University, doesn’t think so. He tells Rappler editor-at-large Marites Vitug: it’s a matter of delicate but determined diplomacy. – Rappler.com
