Philippines rejects China’s claim of ’new model’ in West Philippine Sea

The Philippines has rejected China's claim of a supposed "new model" to de-escalate tension in the West Philippine Sea based on its agreement with the previous government.

National Security Council (NSC) Adviser Eduardo Ano and National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea spokesman Jonathan Malaya insisted that any "agreement" reached between Beijing and Manila in the previous administration of then-President Rodrigo Duterte "has been rescinded," local English daily Manila Times reported on Sunday.
