INQUIRER: DORONILA
This multilayered method of conducting delicate and sensitive negotiations over territorial claims and sovereignty has called into question the maturity of judgement and competence of the President, who is conceded to be the ultimate fountain of foreign policy, in giving directions on external affairs involving war or peace. The fact alone that the Pres has appointed Trillanes special envoy to China, without consulting his foreign affairs secretary, Albert del Rosario, a veteran diplomat who was once our ambassador to the US, compels inquiry into how and why a neophyte in the Senate and a failed coup maker (recall the infamous Oakwood mutiny) was picked to conduct negotiations with the Chinese.
