The West Philippine Sea must be saved April 19, 2021 4:04 PM PHT 'China’s communist officials may have
thoroughly studied President Duterte’s psyche and concluded that he cannot talk tough against China in the same
way he talks tough against his own people'. The West Philippine Sea is again center stage in addition to COVID-19.
In international law, there are four stages in case of international conflict – short of war – which the Philippines
must undertake.
First, the Philippines should alert the world of the impending trouble. This is what is called "noisy," but not
belligerent, diplomacy. President Aquino did that after exhausting to solve the problem through “silent” diplomacy.
As head of state, he openly called China "a bully." He criticized China’s intrusion, publicly declaring that China's
movements in the South China Sea were comparable to Nazi Germany's expansionist agenda before World War 2.
By his pronouncements, President Aquino warned the international community that the issues are not only a
localized problem, but an international concern. He did the right move.
Second, if nothing happens, a case should be filed with the international tribunal. President Aquino’s
administration filed a case before the Hague international tribunal, resulting in a victory for the Philippines. The
landmark decision was hailed all over the world.
Third, upon receipt of the decision, the Philippines must openly urge the losing country to abide immediately
and strictly by the decision, with an admonition that noncompliance will result in further international recourse.
President Duterte failed to do this upon official receipt of the West Philippine Sea ruling by his administration in the
early part of its term.
China’s garrisons and missiles strategically positioned in the South China Sea must be met by, at the very
least, the Philippines’ overt act manifesting the preparedness to invoke and operationalize the VFA and the MDT.
China’s awareness of a definitive retaliatory response from the US pursuant to the latter’s VFA and MDT
commitments in case of an attack on the Philippines can be an effective deterrent.
The Philippines is in a serious mess. If not corrected, it will worsen, leaving an ugly legacy of President
Duterte’s leadership or, to be more precise, lack of it, in the West Philippine Sea – a facticity second only to Japan’s
Second World War Philippine occupation. The West Philippine Sea must be saved. – Mel Sta. Maria

So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain, then even the monsters we defy.
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!

And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!

Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
