MANILA, Philippines — Boxing champion-turned-presidential candidate Manny Pacquiao said he will create a “peace panel” to resolve the maritime dispute over the resource-rich West Philippine Sea if he wins in the May polls.

 

“I talked to the ambassador of China and he said the problem should be discussed. Therefore, we need to form a peace panel that will focus on the issue,” Pacquiao said in Filipino at a forum hosted by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines Wednesday.

 

The standard bearer of the Progressive Movement for the Devolution of Initiatives (PROMDI) said the panel will be composed of “capable” people and experts on the West Philippine Sea.
