WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said he was convinced that his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte brokered a 'secret agreement' with China over the West Philippine Sea (WPS) and offered to sit down with him to discuss it.

The deal was specifically about not having repairs done on the BRP Sierra Madre, the Philippine ship grounded deliberately on Ayungin Shoal, one of the disputed territories between Manila and Beijing.
