I'M really convinced that Aquino 3rd's Foreign secretary, Albert del Rosario, hasn't really read the 479-page decision by an arbitral panel on the suit that the Aquino 3rd administration brought against China in January 2013 and which he is so proud of. Or maybe he dozes off in the middle of reading it?

Harsh words, but that is the only explanation I can think of why he can't understand what is so plain: if we comply with the arbitration award, we lose the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG). And he has never commented on this issue I've raised several times.
