Carlos: South China Sea dispute solvable

SETTING aside politics and the "concept of ownership" are key to resolving the territorial dispute between the Philippines and China in the South China Sea (SCS), former national security adviser Clarita Carlos said Friday.

In a forum hosted by the Association for the Philippines and China Understanding (ACUP) in Pasig City, Carlos said "there is only one ocean" and that the two countries must find a real common ground to finally end the tension at the disputed waterway.
