LAST week, Philippine Coast Guard ships and a Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources vessel were harassed by China Coast Guard ships while a Chinese Navy ship shadowed a PCG vessel in Scarborough Shoal. Filipino fishermen in the area were also harassed by a Chinese helicopter after two PCG ships were deployed to protect them and bring food and fuel. That was the first time that a PLA Navy warship was used to harass at a close distance of 300 yards.
Our nation is facing a clear and present danger, yet national security is being derailed by business-as-usual budgeting. Preparations take time and are made longer when funds are inadequate and delayed. Because reality bites, we're ignoring China's bait for now. Timing is everything.When China and America come to blows, we'll be obviously drawn to the fight alongside the US due to the Mutual Defense Treaty and the EDCA bases.
