WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. defended Vice President Sara Duterte's silence on the escalating tension in the West Philippines Sea (WPS), saying it was not her job to carve out foreign policy.

'That's not the role of the vice president or the secretary of education — to talk about China,' Marcos said in a briefing with Philippine reporters before returning to Manila.
