Brawner said “Mulat” aims to bolster transparency, counter disinformation and enhance public awareness of the Philippines’ rights and interests in the region.“We will continue to defend our seas, our rights and our future. What we’re doing is not just for the present, but for the future generations of Filipinos as well,” Brawner said.
“Meaning we will plan according to the information that we gather and also on the projected actions of perhaps other countries who would like to let’s say influence or come into the country or have adversarial intentions on the country,” he said. He said this is one of the reasons why the Philippine Air Force is eyeing the acquisition of more multi-role fighter jets that are faster and more combat-ready than the FA50s currently in service in the military.Meanwhile, China coast guard’s “Monster Ship” is still in the vicinity of Escoda Shoal, appearing to shadow the BRP Teresa Magbanua of the Philippine Coast Guard , according to Sealight director and defense and maritime expert Ray Powell.
“The Philippine Navy, the PCG, BFAR and all other government instrumentalities have to ensure that our territory is intact, our sovereignty and sovereign rights are protected,” Philippine Navy spokesman for the WPS Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad said on Tuesday when asked at a briefing if Teresa Magbanua was being considered to serve as a military outpost in Escoda.
