Statement of the Philippine Council on Foreign Relations on foreign ambassadors’ statement of support for BBL

THE European and other ambassadors’ statement appearing in media today supporting the CAB and the BBL, whose constitutionality has been challenged by various sectors of Philippine society and which is now pending in the Supreme Court and being deliberated in Congress, show a lack of respect for Philippine laws and can be considered an undue interference in the affairs of a nation to which these ambassadors have been accredited.

The joint statement is allegedly an expression of “concern(ed) with the delay in the implementation of the CAB,” according to the news reports.
