The next Commander-in-Chief of the Philippines will have to weigh the defense of territorial sovereignty against internal security, said Collin Koh, a research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies of Nanyang Technological University.
In thisepisode, Collin Koh, a research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, elaborates on the lessons the Philippines and the region should take away from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
Most Southeast Asian countries spend about 1% of their gross domestic product for military strategies, which is “not sustainable,” said Mr. Koh, given the cost of defense equipment. In recent years, the Armed Forces of the Philippines has had to address insurgencies following the Marawi Siege, and the emergence of ISIS-related groups on the local front; and, on the external front, the maritime dispute with China in the West Philippine Sea.
Mr. Koh said a Ukraine victory would be a win for smaller states also facing aggression from bigger powers as this would prove that the international system works.
