Russian press attaché on ‘the truths of Russian foreign policy’

IT is with utmost interest that I read the article by esteemed Ambassador Juanito P. Jarasa, “Pivot in multipolar world”, in the Manila Times(August 12, 2017). Nevertheless, I feel obliged to comment on some of the points raised by the author.

First of all, I have to remind that diplomats and journalists both use the same tool of word. It should be operated in a well-balanced and reasonable manner. Otherwise, analytical writing turns to a propaganda, a manipulating public opinion with a view to averting attention from real problems, as is the case with the Western mainstream media.
