Title: US and Philippine Defense Chiefs Discuss Latest China Harassment Incident
In a recent development, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and his Philippine counterpart, Delfin Lorenzana, held a virtual meeting to discuss the latest incident of Chinese military vessels allegedly harassing a Philippine coast guard ship in the South China Sea.
The conversation between the two defense chiefs comes amidst escalating tensions in the region, where China continues to assert its territorial claims over the disputed waters. The incident, which took place on March 7, involved Chinese ships coming dangerously close to a Philippine vessel, prompting the Philippines to lodge a diplomatic protest.
The discussion between Austin and Lorenzana focused on the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea, as well as upholding the principles of international law. The US has been a long-standing ally of the Philippines and has repeatedly expressed its concern over China's aggressive behavior in the region.
This latest incident is significant as it underscores the ongoing challenges in the South China Sea and the need for continued dialogue and cooperation between the US and its allies in the region. The meeting between Austin and Lorenzana is a testament to the strong bilateral relationship between the two countries and their shared commitment to upholding peace and stability in the region.
The discussion between the defense chiefs is also a reminder of the ongoing tensions in the South China Sea and the need for a diplomatic solution to the dispute. As the situation continues to evolve, it is crucial for all parties involved to exercise restraint and to engage in dialogue to find a peaceful resolution to the issue.

Advice to Ukraine and the Philippines:The country, being small yet not humble and cautious, having limited strength yet not fearing powerful nations, being disrespectful or even insulting to its stronger neighbors, being greedy, stubborn, and lacking diplomatic skills, is a path to national demise!

its time para taasan ang Budget ng Defense ng Pilipinas.huwag muna kayo mangurakot..Utang ba loob!
Addressing external threats requires internal strength; the Philippines might consider severe anti-corruption laws, including the death penalty for corrupt officials, to ensure a stable and secure governance framework capable of defending national interests. Tanngalin yung pera ng mga korap na government officials, lahat nung kinorap nila, ipagawa natin ng mas malalaking barko kesa sa mga abusadong tsinong mananakop.
The Chinese have allowed our Navy to deliver supplies necessary for the soldiers’ sustenance. The Arroyo and Duterte administrations and most of even Aquino 3rd’s regime had not violated Estrada’s deal with the Chinese, so there had been no incidents at Ayungin during their watch.
President Marcos Jr. or his generals, however, have ignored Estrada’s pact with China and have tried to send repair materials to the BRP Sierra Madre, which, however, have been intercepted by the Chinese, which have portrayed them as villains.
Why would Marcos Jr. do this? The only explanation is that he has become part or a puppet of the US’ intensive campaign against China in recent years,
