MANILA, Philippines—Former Senator Jinggoy Estrada on Saturday said that he is okay with Chinese nationals working in the country, as long as they are “legal and properly documented.”“Ako naniniwala aka sa Filipino first policy,” the senatorial aspirant initially said when asked what he thinks of the rise of Chinese workers in the country. The sudden surge in number of Chinese workers has become a public concern, as such foreigners were said to be taking away job opportunities for Filipinos. Estrada said that if he had his way, he would not let foreigners dominate the country’s work force.
