Lorenzana: Chinese military drills in South China Sea 'highly-provocative'

MANILA - Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has raised alarm over China's move to hold military exercises in contested areas in the South China Sea.

The defense chief noted that the Philippines had conducted military exercises with the American soldiers in the country's territorial waters in the past. "They should not do that. If they do that and they try to control the airspace and the sea and require others to ask permission to pass through, then that's another story," he said.

Tolerating this behavior will ripple into people thinking Filipinos are easy prey since we can't even enforce our sovereignty as a country. Might as well be another dormant claim soon to be forgotten.

I hope we do not apologise to China gor any inconvenience.

Kahit ano nakita mo kung di papalag ang commander in chief mo wala ka magagawa.

Next nito susulong n sila sa atin.. Anu p magagawa natin wala na rin naman taying resources.. Eh d Good luck to us...

PINALALA NYO KASE
