Lorenzana’s slip is showing again

DEFENSE Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, who was once tagged by no less than President Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte as a Central Intelligence Agency man, demonstrated his pro-United States bias when he quickly disagreed with Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian’s view that the “overtures” (a very apt term) of US Defense officials, who recently visited the country, were “sowing chaos.”

Without going into the merits, or lack of them, of Huang’s views, I believe it was not the call of Lorenzana to react to them. That should have been the call of the Americans. After all, they were the ones who made the overtures! Why speak for them?
