“The continued presence of Chinese maritime militias in the area reveals their intent to further occupy in the West Philippine Sea,” Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a statement, using the local name for the South China Sea. Chinese diplomats have said the boats anchored near the reef - numbering more than 200 based on initial intelligence gathered by Philippine patrols - were sheltering from rough seas and that no militia were aboard.

The Philippines needs to stop cosying up to China and ally with USA, other Asian countries and the EU. If they don't China will literally gobble up their country.
