Querubin calls for unity, stronger stand on WPS at Vice Mayors’ meet

MANILA—Senatorial candidate and Medal of Valor awardee Ariel Querubin called for unity among political leaders to address pressing issues during his speech at the Vice Mayors’ League event held yesterday at Century Park Hotel, Manila.

“Why can’t we all sit down and settle all our differences? We have common enemies,” Querubin said.

Querubin stressed that political divisions weaken the country’s position in defending its sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea.

“Hindi tayo nagkakaisa sa West Philippine Sea, na dapat nagkakaisa tayo, kasi atin yan,” Querubin stated.

Querubin also pointed out that utilizing the West PhSea’sine Sea’s resources could help lower fuel prices and boost the country’s economy.

“Kung tayo nagkakaisa na sabihin amin yan, [na] dapat tayo lang ang nakakapag-exploit, explore, mag-harness ng resources diyan sa West Philippine Sea, uunlad ang bansa, uunlad ang ekonomiya natin,” Querubin said.

Having patrolled the West Philippine Sea early in his military career, Querubin emphasized that the Philippines must assert its sovereign rights and protect its natural resources for the benefit of all Filipinos.

The event was also attended by Senator Bong Go and senatorial bet Philip Salvador.
