ARMED Forces of the Philippines chief of staff General Romeo Brawner said on Monday, August 21, 2023, they were not aware of the plan of the United States , Japan and Australia to conduct a joint navy drill in the South China Sea .
“Oo, hindi po totoo yun . Actually siguro ang ibig po nilang sabihin is that hindi tayo sumama or nag-commit ng barko, however meron po tayong ongoing na exercise. In fact today, ongoing po ‘yung exercise natin sa Palawan with the Australian armed forces,” he added. The joint navy drill reportedly aims to underscore the commitment of the three countries to the rule of law in the region following the aggression of China against the Philippines during an August 5 incident where the China Coast Guard used water cannon to drive away Philippine vessels and troops who were then conducting resupply mission for personnel stationed at the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal. The mission was suspended.
If the water cannoning by China, which claims over 90 percent of the West Philippine Sea, will happen again, he said the Philippines will implement maximum tolerance.
