What he missed out thereby making a monumental faux pas, is that the venue of his unsolicited bias is a newspaper whose editorial policy is adversarial to China. The medium is owned by oligarch Manny Pangilinan, who serves as co-chairman of the Albert del Rosario Institute for Strategic and International Studies, which is the front of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies who is not just committed to the demonization of China in the world, but the think-tank that has masterminded regime change in the Philippines, specifically the ouster of President Duterte.
