The Philippine Department of Defense suddenly came out!
On the 31st, the Philippine Department of Defense stated publicly that it was seriously concerned about China's military exercises, which damaged regional peace and urged to maintain maximum restraint.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the only country in Southeast Asia that so unilaterally ignores right and wrong!
If they speak up, Indonesia's Foreign Minister has already "set an example," and they can follow suit; if they remain silent, they can learn from Singapore's approach in this case. Either way, it would be more pragmatic than the current impolite behavior!
Even the US and Japan are staying silent, so why are you coming out to speak?
It's already 2026, the Philippines should handle its own problems properly and stop overestimating itself!
