The United States continues its alliance with the Philippines in protecting its territory and is helping to increase its capability to man the West Philippine Sea against foreign intrusions, a US official said. | RVMirandaINQ /PDI
Variava made the remark after she was asked to comment on the summons issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs to the Chinese Embassy on March 14, after reports of Chinese militia were seen “lingering presence” during the Philippine and US Marines Marine Exercise 2022 off Palawan in January 2022.
The Chinese ship was seen off Palawan’s Cuyo Group of Islands and Apo Island off Mindoro, after it entered the Philippine waters, even after repeated demands from the Philippine Navy’s BRP Antonio Luna to leave immediately. The PH-US MAREX 22 was intended to boost the mutual defense capabilities of the two longtime allies. It started on Jan. 27 and ended on Feb. 2.
