Just this February 2020, the United States (US) practically told Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana that the Philippines’ claimed Territories in the South China Sea (SCS) are NOT included in the Philippines’ Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) with them.
The US told Lorenzana that Scarborough (or Panatag) Shoal is not included in the MDT, only “Metropolitan Philippines” is included. So the way I see it, if the nearby Panatag Shoal is not included, then how much more our other claimed Territories in the SCS that are much farther out?
They are basically saying in Filipino, “Bahala na kayo sa buhay ninyo diyan sa SCS”. And to think they have the gall to demand to us not to allow a Chinese Company to take over the Hanjin Shipyard in Subic?
This shows that the US only looks after its own interests, but not the interests of the Philippines. If our interests coincides with theirs then good, but if not “e di sorry na lang kayo”.
