  • Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. warns there's rising potential for outright conflict with China, just after another naval incident in the South China Sea. As the high-seas faceoff unfolded, two Chinese coast guard ships used water cannons against a smaller supply boat. It was the latest showdown in one of the world's most hotly disputed waters that many fear could descend into a larger conflict that puts the United States and China on a collision course. Tuesday's hostilities off the Philippine-occupied Second Thomas Shoal lasted about five hours starting after dawn. After China effectively seized another disputed atoll, the Scarborough Shoal off the northwestern Philippines, in 2012, Manila brought its disputes with Beijing to international arbitration and largely won. China, however, rejected the 2016 ruling of the U.N.-backed tribunal that invalidated its expansive claims on historical grounds and continues to defy the decision.

      How do you plan to defend your territory? By calling your friends and ally? By invoking the defence treaty? Omg..always remember that the mutual defence treaty is not a NATO like treaty...the u.s will need permission to the congress before the treaty wil take effect...we will be polvorize before they even start firing thier guns....the Philippines needs bilateral talks between china not war..

    The Philippines should stop giving government projects to Chinese contractors. The Philippines should also start decreasing reliance on China by slowly starting to find alternative trade partners for different products. When the Philippines don't rely on China for anything and when the Philippines stop giving money to the Chinese contractors, then the Philippines would have already won without a drop of blood. That is how you defeat China. China's economy is already in trouble and the normal Chinese citizen is already struggling including their pension system. If you stop relying on China and stop doing business with China, they will start collapsing from within.

    I live on the west coast of Palawan and operated a small fishing boat and then passenger boat for tourism from 2005 - 2014.
    When I first started, the sea was so alive with big schools of fish, dolphin, turtles and sea birds.
    I went out to the Spratlies a couple times for fishing, and I woke up at dawn to find hundreds of dolphins swimming every which way all around my tiny little boat feeding on schools of tuna.
    It was the most amazing sight ever!
    Shortly after that the Chinese moved in and from then on, the schools of fish and sea birds have all disappeared, and it looks like a dead sea.

    Despite enduring numerous hardships, Filipinos are resilient, having been accustomed to such challenges.

Incidentally, US and Philippines has a 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) which states, among others, to come to one's defense in case of an armed attack.
