Philippine shipwreck has had no supplies for three months

The intensity has increased. Now, the Philippine amphibious ship, the BRP Sierra Madre, is surrounded by our maritime police vessels, speedboats, and steel-hulled fishing boats. It's surrounded on all sides.

The Philippines have started to panic. There have been no supplies for three months, and they can now send supplies to the wrecked Philippine amphibious ship, the BRP Sierra Madre. The last time they managed to deliver supplies was on May 16th. Now it has been three months.

In May, the supplies delivered by the Philippine supply ships included biscuits, bottled water, flour, canned food, diesel, and batteries for operating communication equipment. These have basically been completely consumed by now.

Generally, the Philippines needs to resupply every 40-50 days. After all, in the hot tropical seas of summer, without cold storage facilities, most food and drinking water are difficult to preserve for many days.

According to the Philippine delivery frequency, supplies should be delivered again in July. However, they have been blocked and failed to do so. Now, it has been about three months.

No matter how much they save and conserve, the Philippine navy soldiers on the wrecked amphibious ship, the BRP Sierra Madre, have reached the end of their resources.

It can be anticipated that the Philippines will likely take a major action soon. The Philippines has already taken four major actions. First, the Chief of Staff of the Philippine Armed Forces, General Romeo Brawner, ordered the Philippine soldiers on the BRP Sierra Madre amphibious ship to hold out at all costs.

This indicates that in critical moments, the Philippine military can adopt what is called emergency measures. In our preparedness, what are these emergency measures the Philippine military might take? What difference would these emergency measures make? Actually, it doesn't matter.

First, the Philippine military requires the Philippine soldiers on the BRP Sierra Madre amphibious ship to hold out at all costs. Second, the Philippine military is making large-scale abnormal movements. The Philippine military has invited the Australian Navy to organize amphibious landing beach assault exercises in the western part of the Philippines facing the South China Sea.

Over 3,600 Philippine and Australian military personnel participated, with one Australian naval missile destroyer, Australian Air Force F/A-18 supersonic fighter jets, one C-130 transport aircraft, and ground forces equipped with Javelin anti-tank weapons and special forces sniper weapons.

The exercise is named "Wave." The Philippines is using military exercises to mobilize forces, and the forces being mobilized are amphibious landing assault forces. This must raise alertness.

Machine gun speedboats surround the area, close the gate tightly

General Teodoro of the Philippine Armed Forces stated that they cannot tolerate our deployment of rigid inflatable boats and water cannon exercises at the Scarborough Shoal. The Philippines wants to strengthen cooperation with the United States and Australia.

Australian Defence Minister Marles reiterated Australia's defense relationship with the Philippines and the United States' commitment to the US-Philippines alliance. This already shows that the Philippines is actively trying to bring the US and Australia into action to bolster itself.

Finally, there is a public opinion war. Media outlets such as the Manila Standard in the Philippines have been continuously creating public opinion recently. They also stated that they will continue to deliver supplies to the BRP Sierra Madre amphibious ship according to the temporary agreement.

First, the Philippine military ordered the BRP Sierra Madre amphibious ship to hold out at all costs. Second, they are intensifying efforts to involve the United States and Australia for support.

Third, the Philippines' elite amphibious assault forces are gathering under the guise of military exercises. Finally, they are intensifying public opinion campaigns.

All of this indicates that the Philippines is about to take action. It is possible that not only the Philippine Coast Guard but also the Philippine Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps will participate in the operation.

Now, 14 maritime police vessels, high-speed patrol speedboats, and steel-hulled fishing boats have surrounded the waters around the Philippine wrecked ship. Even more, several high-speed speedboats are equipped with large-caliber machine guns.

In the air, there are drones and helicopter carriers conducting long-term patrols and monitoring. In the southeast direction of the Scarborough Shoal, fishermen are setting up nets in the lagoon entrance, and a maritime police speedboat is stationed inside the lagoon. Maritime police vessels are conducting water cannon training in the outer waters. Everything will eventually be settled!
