Government maintains good relations with China despite territory conflict

Monday, January 30, 2012
AMID growing tensions between the Philippines and China because of its overlapping claims on the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario maintained that the government will continue to observe good relations with the Asian economic powerhouse.
“Our relations with China, as we had said before, should be governed by mutual respect, equality and observance of each other’s sovereignty,” the Foreign Affairs chief said in a statement.
“We are certain that China will fully concur with our stated position,” he added.
On Sunday, China’s nationalist paper Global Times published an editorial urging the Chinese government to impose economic sanctions on the Philippines for allowing the United States more troops on its soil.
It said that China “must respond” to the Philippines plan to establish a minimal defense posture by asking the United States for aid by using its “leverage to cut economic activities” between Manila and other Southeast Asian countries, most of which have overlapping claims on resource-rich Spratly Islands.
It also said that Beijing must think about “cooling down” business links with Manila.
Philippines and the United States last week announced that it has entered into negotiations regarding the boosting of military activities between the two nations to better equip Manila in protecting its claims on the disputed Spratly Islands.
The move was welcomed by the United States who planned to expand its military power in Asia Pacific.
China has yet to officially respond to the announcement since it celebrated a week-long holiday for the Lunar New Year.

The growing array of hotel resort accommodation, recreation and entertainment facilities, places to unwind and relax, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs makes it increasing easy for tourists and visitors from Manila to spend quality time in a place of leisure in Clark, Pampanga.

To many visitors from Manila, a place of leisure or a good hotel or resort in Pampanga must be located in a city that is safe, clean and not so noisy. Convenience and accessibility are important considerations in choosing a holiday destination in Philippines. Clark Freeport is probably the easiest tourist destination to reach from Manila. Clark also has its own international airport with dozens of daily flights connecting Clark directly with Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia and South Korea. Clark is home to some of the best golf courses in Pampanga. Although golf continues to be one of the reasons why visitors from Manila travel to Pampanga, residents of Angeles City, Subic and Bulacan travel to Clark not just to play golf in one of the best golf courses in Pampanga but also to relax and unwind in the best resort in Philippines.

Spa is not the only way to unwind for people who are stressed out by Manila traffic and noise pollution.

This is a good rendition of the lifestyle that the Americans left behind after they left the Clark Airbase. A good short description of this lifestyle is suburban laid-back slow-paced clean living, very suitable for tourists and guests looking for a way to unwind from the stress of living in Manila.

In a city like Manila, most residents rely on visits to spa and beauty parlor to unwind and relax. But with a short getaway to Angeles City Clark Pampanga one can de-stress by enjoying beautiful outdoor amenities of this beach resort, savoring what nature can offer.
