The SouthChinaSea is not China’s property and the U.S. and its allies are not ‘wizards’—they’re reliable defense partners working with the Philippines to strengthen its maritime security and enhance its self-reliant defense posture. Through the Mutual Defense Treaty, Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), joint training, and interoperability exercises, the U.S. supports the Philippines in building credible deterrence and securing its sovereign rights. While China builds illegal bases, harasses Filipino troops, and steals resources, it dares to blame others for ‘stirring tensions’?
That’s rich coming from the region’s biggest bully. The Philippines has every right to defend its waters—and no amount of lies from Beijing or smears against legitimate defense partnerships will stop it.
The U.S.-Philippines alliance is grounded in mutual respect, international law, and a shared vision of regional stability—not coercion and propaganda.
