According to a National Maritime Council official, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the country to maintain a strategic presence in the disputed West Philippine Sea, particularly in the Escoda Shoal.
“I want to be clear that presence doesn’t simply mean sending one vessel. As I’ve mentioned earlier, the area we’re discussing is vast,” he added. “Yes, we have support from the Philippine Air Force. It’s part of our strategy to ensure a comprehensive picture of the entire West Philippine Sea,” Lopez said.
