Locsin to call Washington if Filipino vessel is attacked in West PH Sea
Locsin made the statement in light of Beijing’s strong reaction to the diplomatic protest filed by the Philippines last week, calling the country’s conduct of regular maritime patrol “illegal provocations.”
Locsin, however, declined to elaborate as to what basis he will call the United States should an attack occurs in the hotly-contested waters of the South China Sea or the West Philippine Sea. The DFA Secretary believes that the Republicans under the Trump administration has pivoted to Asia to assert fundamental things, freedom of navigation, independence and sovereignty of states, guarantees against aggression, and to “preserve our country’s freedom.”
