Emboldened by the support of international allies and partners, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. finally ordered “counter measures” against the aggression of China Coast Guard and the Chinese Maritime Militia.
It also comes after his talks with “relevant allies, partners, and friends in the international community,” including the United States, which offered to provide Philippines support to secure its sovereign rights and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. “I have given them our requirements and we have been assured that they will be addressed,” Marcos said.
He made the pronouncement after CCC ships blasted a Philippine supply boat headed to Ayungin Shoal with a water cannon causing injuries to its crew. The incident drew condemnation from many countries including the US, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Italy, South Korea, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Sweden.
