Such insanity is based on what historians and analysts will very soon determine as one of the biggest US-manufactured lies spread very effectively starting with the President Aquino 3rd regime: That only the Philippines has legitimate sovereignty and sovereign rights in the Spratlys and that China, especially, Vietnam and Taiwan are intruders.
Our military leaders, as they have done in the past several days, insist on sending Philippine-flagged vessels (even if these were private boats hired to be cannon fodder) to totally disregard what China claims has been its sovereign territory recognized by most countries — including the West — only to be ingloriously water-cannoned away, as pirates routinely are by private tankers.
If they ever try similarly sailing into Vietnamese-controlled waters without any permission — such as the Union Banks complex south of our Pag-asa island dotted with eight Vietnamese military outposts — they won't be hit just by water cannons, but ship-to-ship missiles, with the specially-trained Vietnamese commandos boarding the vessels and bringing the Navy and Coast Guard officials to Hanoi to be jailed.
Note that it is not just the Philippines that claims the Spratlys as its own, either as part of its territory or as encompassed by its exclusive economic zone. Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia and even Brunei claim either the entire group of islands or parts of it.
Will the Americans help us impose our will? They can't even save Ukraine from the Russian invasion.
