China can expect “harsh words” if the report about its supposed dumping of human waste in the West Philippine Sea is true, Malacañang said yesterday. Presidential spokesman Harry Roque maintained that the government has always been against the entry of garbage from other countries. He cited the Duterte administration’s decision to return the containers of garbage sent by Canada. “Our position on the entry of waste and garbage is clear,” Roque said at a press briefing.
