Nagbabala si Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. sa China na itigil ang

pagsasagawa ng military drills sa teritoryo ng ‘Pinas upang hindi ito diumano makatikim ng “severest response.”

Saad ni Foreign Secretary Locsin, “Should the exercises spill over to Philippine territory then China is forewarned that it will be met with the severest response, diplomatic and whatever else is appropriate.”

Dagdag pa niya, “At a time like this, one would think that simulated military exercises would be more in keeping with the spirit of friendly cooperation that China has encouraged everyone to take.

On the practical side, there are the open seas. Unless again the purpose is to establish a

perennial and unchallenged presence that may in time congeal into right.”
