Duterte (right), in a press conference in Davao City Thursday night (April 11, 2024), denies the forging of a “gentleman’s agreement” between the Philippines and China on the West Philippine Sea territorial row during his term. He pointed out that no individual in the Philippines, whether in the Supreme Court, Office of the President or Congress, can make concessions regarding territories. (PNA photo by Robinson Niñal Jr.)
