The Philippine defence chief has vowed to protect the country's sovereignty against secession threats from former President Rodrigo Duterte and escalating tensions with China. The defense minister promised to 'strictly enforce' sovereignty following Duterte's suggestion to secede Mindanao island. Concurrently, the Chinese Coast Guard expelled a Philippine vessel from the waters near Huangyan Island, also known as Scarborough Shoal, defying the 2016 UNCLOS South China Sea Arbitration Ruling. Additionally, the Philippine Navy is alarmed by the presence of over 200 Chinese ships at Mischief Reef. In response to these challenges, the Philippines intends to enhance military presence and infrastructure in its northernmost province facing Taiwan.
