Senators are expected to grill Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano today, as the Senate foreign affairs and defense committees start their foreign policy audit on the Duterte Administration in relation to the West Philippine Sea dispute. Foreign affairs committee chair Se. Loren Legarda scheduled the hearing after it was postponed last week, amid increasing militarization in the West Philippine Sea by China. The joint panel is ready to hear from Cayetano the administration's foreign policy towards China after several senators slammed President Duterte's "policy of appeasement" with Beijing.
