Zubiri backs Duterte as special envoy to China

Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri expressed support for the proposal to appoint former President Rodrigo Duterte as a special envoy to China.

Zubiri noted that anyone who can help with diplomacy in the region would be beneficial, suggesting both Duterte and Senator Alan Peter Cayetano could serve in this role.

Cayetano previously suggested Duterte's appointment due to his 'good standing' with the Chinese government and his ability to gain trust without compromising Philippine interests.
