In a significant move to bolster its defense and economic interests amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, the Philippines has embarked on a new defense strategy days after the latest clash with Chinese ships. This strategy, announced by Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, directs the military to enforce measures to protect the nation's territory and economic zones. Concurrently, the Philippines is enhancing its international alliances, signing security deals and striking new defense agreements to build a network aimed at deterring Chinese aggression. The United States plays a pivotal role in this strategy, with plans underway for a US-funded port in a Philippine island facing Taiwan and a presidential trade and investment mission led by US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. The mission aims to fortify economic ties across the region, with US companies announcing investments exceeding $1 billion in the Philippines. These investments span various sectors, including digitization, solar energy, and electric vehicles, highlighting the iron-clad US-Philippine alliance and the mutual eagerness for business engagement.
