Manila: – Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte reprimanded China in frank words, ‘Philippines has deployed two destroyers in its own marine region. Under any circumstances, these destroyers will not retreat even by an inch. Even if you kill me, the destroyers will stay put. The camaraderie between the Philippines and China can end over this issue.’
The Philippines has deployed two destroyers in its marine sector to watch on the Chinese militia ships that have intruded into the Filipino maritime region for the last few weeks. China had demanded that the Philippines should withdraw its patrol ships. At the same time, China has despatched 287 more militia ships to the region. President Duterte, infuriated with this Chinese arrogance, issued a warning to China.
