Erratum: Senator Risa Hontiveros Apologizes For Misnaming South China Sea!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It was a well-meaning resolution, but Senator Risa Hontiveros profusely apologized for a grave error she committed in proposing July 12 a “victory day” for the Philippines.

In her resolution, Hontiveros said that the anniversary date of the United Nations arbitral award to the Philippines in connection with the territorial claim in the South China Sea is well worth a national declaration of victory.

Hontiveros apparently mislabeled the South China Sea as West Philippine Sea.

The senator filed an addendum to her resolution correcting her error. If passed, the resolution will now declare July 12 as South China Sea Victory Day.

All’s well that ends well!

But Malacañang does not want to commit the same embarrassing booboo committed by the Department of Tourism and PAGCOR.
