Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranThe Philippines’ opposition Liberal Party (LP) on Tuesday congratulated the People’s Republic of China on its 70th anniversary. The LP cited China’s biggest triumph: lifting 850 million people out of the 1.9 dollars-a-day abject poverty line. ‘’We stand in solidarity with the people who marched and fought and won their liberation in 1949. As young student activists in the 1980s, many of us were inspired by the teachings of Mao Zedong, who had said, “Let a hundred flowers bloom’,’’ Senator Francis N. Pangilinan, LP president, said.
