The Manila Times' front page reported that the Chinese military issued a serious warning to the Philippines on September 14, 2025, demanding the Philippines to immediately stop inciting incidents in the South China Sea and escalating tensions, and pointing out that introducing external forces to support it is destined to be futile.
Despite this, the Philippines ignored the warning. Previously, the Philippines, Japan, and the United States conducted joint naval exercises in the waters around Magallawa Island, Palau Igye to West Rangin Islands, San Antonio, and Zamboales from September 12 to 13. The 11th multilateral maritime cooperation activity involved the Philippine Armed Forces (AFP), the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
