This was the call of former senator and defense minister Juan Ponce Enrile on Friday, hours after China lauded the Duterte administration for skipping international maritime drills in the West Philipp

ine Sea.

"We must, therefore, never allow the Fuga island group to fall in the hands of or to be controlled by any foreign power, directly or indirectly, and most especially a foreign power like red China." Enrile said that if China, one of foreign powers that Manila is disputing with on the West Philippine Sea, was to seize the islands, it would "surely" use them as naval and air force bases to "complement" its military base in Hainan province and its man-made fortified artificial islands in the West Philippine Sea.

Enrile pointed out if China were to occupy the Fuga islands, it would "dominate" the overlapping maritime borders between the Philippines and Taiwan in the Balintang Channel off Batanes and it "would pose a very serious strategic problem for us."
