00:00 Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Coco Pimentel III offered his suggestion to former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque
00:07 regarding the supposed
00:09 gentleman's agreement allegedly entered into by the previous administration with China
00:14 The lawmaker suggested if Roque has proof of such an agreement, then he should provide them
00:19 Otherwise, the senator said he will remain unconvinced of such a deal
00:24 He added such an agreement will not be binding if it was informally transacted upon or if ever there was one
00:32 No matter the position, because it is an informal, unwritten, unrecorded agreement
00:40 There is no mention even of this gentleman's agreement during his term from his office or from himself
00:51 So why are we going to believe that there is such an agreement?
00:56 I will add that even if there is one, that is void
