Following a call on the government to ease relations with China, 23 major Philippine commercial, labor, agricultural, academic, and civic organizations issued another joint statement late on the night of the 7th, welcoming the country's Foreign Minister Lazaro's recent call with the Chinese Foreign Minister, saying that the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs's approach was constructive and pragmatic. It is worth noting that while the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs is maintaining dialogue with China, individual Philippine politicians have not hesitated to seriously damage Sino-Philippine relations and mutual trust between the two sides, and continue to publish misconceptions about China. The Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a long article on the 8th criticizing this domestic noise, reaffirming that diplomacy is the Philippines' main method of handling disputes with China.
