The Philippines find it hard to deter China whose nine-dash line claim was invalidated by the UNCLOS arbitral court ruling, from aggressively asserting sovereignty within the nine-dash line. Bilateral agreements such as the gentlemen's agreement only favor China's assertion.. The Philippines must strengthen alliances with US, Japan, Canada, France, Australia, and other like-minded countries, and together conduct joint patrols and exercises in Philippines EEZ to uphold the rule of law and freedom of navigation. Facing threat of China's big navy, a multitude of militia vessels, hypersonic missiles and artificial islands military bases China built on Johnson reef, Fiery Cross reef, Subi reef, and Mischief reef, the US, should deploy on Philippine sites more Typhon missile systems, with tomahawk missiles, longer range dark eagle hypersonic missiles , and underwater Manta Ray drones. China is claiming territories from the Paracels, Spratleys, South China sea, West Philippine Sea,, Taiwan, Senkaku islands, Tibet, Bhutan, Aksai Chin, Arunachal Pradesh, to Vladivostok. The Philippines with the US, Japan, and other allies may one day have to face China head-on. The Philippines to strengthen its defense capability should procure what it can now: more ships, fighter jets, anti-ship missiles, anti- ship drones, HIMARS , radar systems, and submarines.
