Marcos to stay at historic Blair House during summit with Trump in DC

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will stay at the historic Blair House across the White House in Pennsylvania Avenue during his three-day visit to Washington for his first-ever meeting with US President Donald Trump later this month, Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro said Monday. The famous residence is the official guest house of the US President for visiting heads of state and other dignitaries and has hosted notable world leaders, including Queen Elizabeth II and Nelson Mandela, according to the White House website. Heads of states and governments are usually invited to the guest house "at the pleasure of the President," it added. Blair House also serves as the temporary home of the president-elect before the inauguration ceremonies in preparation for the administration's move into the White House. "Just wanted to say that it is President Trump who invited President Marcos to this meeting and probably the first if I am correct the first among the ASEAN leaders who have been invited by the president to the White House. It is an official visit, but he will be staying in the presidential guest house, the Blair House, so that means something," Lazaro told reporters in her first press briefing as Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Philippine Ambassador to Washington Jose Manuel Romualdez, in a separate interview, said Marcos' official working visit was relayed to the Philippine Embassy in Washington with the invitation for him to stay at Blair House. The Blair House complex has approximately 109 rooms, including 15 guest rooms, each with a full bathroom, three formal dining rooms, two large conference rooms, a hot and cold kitchen, a beauty salon, an exercise room, and an in-house laundry facility. Details of the summit between Marcos and Trump are still being finalized, Lazaro said, but defense and security amid increasing Chinese aggression in the disputed South China Sea, US tariffs and economic cooperation are likely to figure in their discussions. America has repeatedly vowed to defend the Philippines - its long-time treaty ally in Asia - against armed attacks on Philippine forces, vessels, or aircraft, including those of the coast guard, anywhere in the South China Sea, The US, Japan, and the Philippines forged a trilateral bloc to boost security, economic and investment engagements. Such alliances would help Japan and the Philippines, which both face similar territorial disputes with China, diversify their trading engagements as a buffer in case the disputes spill into the economic front. The Philippines has deployed a trade delegation to the US this week to continue negotiations after the Trump administration increased its tariff on the Philippines to 20% unless a deal is reached.—LDF, GMA Integrated News

PH asserts 2016 arbitral ruling during forum hosted by Chinese think tank

The Philippine Embassy in Beijing has strongly reaffirmed the country's sovereign rights in the West Philippine Sea, citing the landmark 2016 arbitral award, during a forum hosted by a Chinese think tank just days before the ruling's ninth anniversary. The forum, which gathered legal scholars, policy experts, and regional analysts, was predominantly critical of the arbitral ruling and the Philippines' actions in the disputed waters. In a press statement, the embassy said the Philippine delegation used the opportunity to assert the ruling's legal weight and continuing relevance under international law. 'The Award, along with its annexes, proves the validity and legality of Philippine claims, and they are available for everyone to study and read,' the Embassy's representative said during a plenary intervention. The ruling, handed down by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in 2016, invalidated China's sweeping claims in the South China Sea—particularly those within the so-called 'nine-dash line'—and affirmed that such claims had no legal basis under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Responding to accusations made during the forum that the Philippines was acting as a "troublemaker" in the region, the Philippine representative pushed back firmly, emphasizing Manila's commitment to diplomacy and constructive engagement. 'We disagree with the notion that the Philippines is not willing to engage with China. In fact, even with the Arbitral Award, the Philippines has continued to make efforts to keep lines of communication open, maintain proper dialogue, and engage positively with China as well as other claimant States, both bilaterally and regionally, within the context of our legally settled claims in accordance with UNCLOS and international law,' the official said. The Embassy added: 'We hope China's actions demonstrate genuine willingness to engage and to produce constructive and positive outcomes.' The forum took place amid heightened regional tensions and increasing international attention on the South China Sea. This year marks the ninth year since the 2016 ruling, which has been backed by several countries including the United States, Japan, Australia, and members of the European Union. However, China has repeatedly rejected the ruling, continuing to assert its expansive maritime claims and build artificial islands and outposts in contested areas. On Sunday, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said it monitored two vessels of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA) of China in the waters off Occidental Mindoro. Tensions continue as Beijing claims almost all of the South China Sea, including parts claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague ruled in favor of the Philippinesover China's claims in the South China Sea, but the latter refused to recognize the decision. —Sherylin Untalan/AOL, GMA Integrated News
