A top Philippine navy official has broken his silence about an alleged phone call he had with a Chinese embassy official. Speaking with lawmakers, Vice-Admiral Alberto Carlos denied accusations he had compromised national security by making a secret deal regarding conduct in the South China Sea. Following weeks of allegations and speculation about whether the phone call even took place, Carlos testified before the Philippine Senate’s defence committee on May 22, 2024.
