 Enrile warns of 'predatory' China

Quote:
 
MANILA, Philippines - Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile on Tuesday warned that the Philippines could be used as a "stepping mat" by "predatory" China if Manila does not improve its defense capabilities.

Enrile, in explaining his vote to approve the Status of Forces Visiting Agreement (SOVFA) between the Philippines and Australia, said he already aired the warning years ago during the debates on a similar pact with the United States.

"The record will show... I delivered in the halls of this Senate a speech regarding the predatory character of our neighbor in the mainland of Asia and I warned this country at that time, as early as that time, to prepare and provide this country with a security umbrella commensurate to its interest in order that it will not be a stepping mat of the PROC," he said.
