Lawmakers warn against anti-Chinese sentiments from Tarlac town mayor row

Lawmakers warn against anti-Chinese sentiments from Tarlac town mayor row

Militant lawmakers at the House of Representatives say that the issue against Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo should not be a reason for Filipinos to have anti-Chinese sentiments and instead urged them to look at the bigger picture -- and that is the prevalence of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGOS) in the town. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, May 16, 2024, the lawmakers also tackled the divorce bill and the alleged 'new deal' between China and the Philippines in resolving conflicts in the disputed waters and the increased presence of the United States which, they said, may only enter into war as a 'business.'
