The Philippines' haste in awarding honors after the South China Sea incident has drawn attention.

It's only been a day since the incident, and the Philippines is already eager to celebrate?

On August 12, Admiral Ronnie Gil L. Gavan PCG, Chief of the Philippine Coast Guard, presided over the award ceremony for the crew of BRP Suluan (MRRV-4406) at Pier 15 in Manila Port.

This award ceremony coincided with the incident yesterday when Chinese maritime police ships collided with the Philippine BRP Suluan in the South China Sea.

This ostentatious celebration seems to be an attempt to draw international attention to this incident. Obviously, the Philippine side has not handled its own maritime activities properly in the complex and ever-changing South China Sea situation, but instead hastily uses this form of "celebration" to cover up the chaos and disorder in regional security.

After all, real security cannot be easily obtained through a single award ceremony, nor can it be elevated by hyping up another country's "accidental collision."

The Chinese have seen clearly the Philippines' short-sighted and joyous behavior.

The next time, you may not be so lucky.
