MANILA -- Some Philippine lawmakers have joined a global alliance of politicians concerned about China's belligerence and efforts to shape the world in its own interest.

At its third annual summit in Prague, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) opened its doors to lawmakers from the Philippines, Kenya, and Paraguay. They add to a group dominated by European parliamentarians and a large contingent from Japan.
