According to the Chinese Embassy, a “new model” arrangement has been agreed upon by Beijing and the Philippines regarding our conduct in Ayungin Shoal. “Conduct” being an operative word for how we allegedly agreed to stay away.

"I will always make you remember," was a famous line Caroline Tiu kept on repeating to her family for the injustice done to her murdered mother in the Filipino TV series "Can't Buy Me Love".

The Chinese Embassy in Manila recently issued a statement that publicized the so-called “temporary special arrangement” supposedly agreed to during a visit to Beijing by then President Rodrigo Duterte in 2016. This claim by the Chinese Embassy was immediately denounced by Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr., who called out the embassy for its use of misinformation to distract from the main issues confronting the region.

This idea emerged from the brouhaha now persisting at the Metro Cebu Water District (MCWD).
