“We are completing the data for the report to be presented to the PROC [People’s Republic of China], then to the UN,' deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a text message to GMA News Online.
She said the administration intends to bring the issue to the UN attention in relation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS. The Department of Foreign Affairs conveyed on Tuesday to the Chinese embassy's charge d'affaires its 'serious concerns' on the sightings of Chinese military vessels in Philippine waters.
Valte said the administration will push for a diplomatic solution to any conflict that will arise over the disputed Spratly Islands.
“We wish to stress that the way that we are approaching this incident is that we are fully committed to resolving it in the most diplomatic manner and in a peaceful manner,' she said."
