MANILA, Philippines — Senator Francis Tolentino on Sunday told the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to consider the rulings of the Supreme Court and the Hague Permanent Court of Arbitration when the government proceeds with its plan to have another round of exploratory talks with the People's Republic of China. 'Dapat po siguro yung pakikipag-usap o gagawing pakikipag-usap sa People's Republic of China ng DFA, eh isaalang-alang itong desisyon ng Supreme Court… at isaalang-alang din yung nilalaman ng ating Saligang Batas base po sa ating karapatan sa ating exclusive economic zone,' Tolentino said in a statement during an interview with DZBB.
