“Hindi ko sinasabing ngayon na. Pag tumaas ang tension to a dangerous level (I’m not saying we should do it now. Only when tensions escalate to a dangerous level),” Biazon said.
“They (152 country members of the UN) should be aware of the violation of China of the international law,” he added referring to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
