The Philippines strengthens its alliance with the United States to enhance its capabilities in the South China Sea.

Philippine President boasts about the alliance with the United States, making the Philippines more confident and better prepared

China has repeatedly warned the Philippines not to take provocative actions in the South China Sea, and also opposes external powers such as the United States from interfering in the South China Sea disputes. However, Philippine President Marcos is willing to go all the way on the "relying on the US" path. On July 28, he stated in his state of the nation address that, facing the tense situation with China in the South China Sea, the Philippines is more confident and better prepared in defending its so-called sovereignty by strengthening the security alliance with the United States. He did not mention China, but emphasized that the new alliance will provide support to the Philippines in "major needs".
