How Far the Philippines can Defend itself From China?

Amid escalating tensions in the South China Sea, the Philippines, in collaboration with the United States, recently conducted joint air patrols, signaling a firm stance in safeguarding its territorial boundaries and national interests. This move comes in response to Beijing's criticisms, marking a departure from previous efforts to improve relations with China. With President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration seeking to bolster defense ties with the U.S., Manila's strategic shift underscores a commitment to defending its sovereignty amidst China's growing assertiveness in the region. As the Philippines navigates the complexities of the South China Sea dispute, a delicate balance between military preparedness, diplomatic engagement, and regional cooperation emerges as paramount. The nation's ability to forge alliances, leverage economic resources, and uphold international law will shape its capacity to effectively address the challenges posed by China's territorial claims and assertive actions.
