Recourse to diplomacy does not equate to weakness, an international law expert said on Saturday.
According to University of the Philippines professor Jay Batongbacal, there were cases in other countries where there was damages or injuries, but were resolved through diplomacy.
“Sa ibang mga bansa marami nang mga ganyang klaseng insidente, nagkaroon ng damage nagkaroon ng injury, in the end hindi sila nagigiyera. Naresolve pa ‘yon sa pamamagitan ng diplomasya, compensation later on, mga ganoon,” Batongbacal said in a news forum.
(In other countries, there has been many kinds of accidents, there’s damage, there’s injury, in the end, they don’t go to war.
