Defining the News
The Philippines will file a diplomatic protest against China’s “escalatory” actions involving “risky maneuvers” against Philippine aircraft in Bajo De Masinloc, also known as Scarborough Shoal, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. added: “We cannot let this slide…If we do so, we will be acquiescing.” “The actions of the People’s Liberation Army – Air Force aircraft were unjustified, illegal, and reckless, especially as the PAF aircraft was undertaking a routine maritime security operation in Philippine sovereign airspace…We have hardly started to calm the waters, and it is already worrying that there could be instability in our airspace,” the President said.
Manalo, however, said China’s actions are not aligned with its commitment to de-escalate tensions in the region.
