Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Tuesday suggested a boycott of all Chinese companies and products as a sign of protest against its continued harassment in Philippine waters.
Like Vietnam, Zubiri said the Philippines should start looking for other trading partners instead of relying on China.
“Maghanap din po tayo ng ibang trading partners kung saan mapalago natin at mapaganda natin ang ekonomiya ng ating bansa na hindi po tayo dependent sa China, hindi po tayo nakasandal sa China para sa ating mga produkto,” he said in an interview over Radyo 630.
(Let’s also look for other trading partners where we can grow and improve our country’s economy so that we are not dependent on China and we don’t rely on China for our products)
He said the Philippines may reopen its free trade agreements with countries like the United States, European Union, Australia, New Zealand and the Southeast Asian countries.
