Still, Aside from possible future inevitable scenarios to unfold, going back to PH current defense capabilities should be the concern of the Aquino Government right now together with the DND/ AFP, NSC, Senate & Congress, to be ready and prepare for any eventuality, realistically & non realistically -(for those people who are blind to see the dangers that can unfold anytime, overnight.) Postpone that potangnang BBL na yan, which is basically just chaos, it's also like trying to cover a much bigger issue, (maybe also China's doing w/ Malaysia) that concerns the National Security of the whole Country (Philippines) and the rest of the World.

The next steps — US vs China (Last of two parts), By former President Fidel Valdez Ramos May 30, 2015 Excerpts: OTHER DOABLE ACTIONS IN PALAWAN/WPS For the immediate future, the US should intensify some essential doable measures on Palawan and within the West Philippine Sea under the umbrella of our new US-Philippines Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) (as recommended by the expert security Fil-Am team FVR cited in Part I of this series) to wit: 1.Establish and develop a US Marine Corps amphibious operations center at Ulugan Bay with at least 300 specialists. 2.Build the infrastructures for four to six F-35A stealth fighter-bombers on Pagasa, Kalayaan Island Group (KIG), Palawan. For maximum effect, the US should announce this intent immediately, while at the same time maintain regular reconnaissance flights with its Poseidon spy planes. 3.Develop cooperative approaches with the Philippines for the forward positioning of weapons described in the Pentagon’s “Defense Innovation Initiative,” as the new US hedging strategy that deploys smart cheap weapons. 4.Accelerate all American infrastructure work in combination with Philippine authorities under EDCA. 5.Deliver ASAP to the AFP an Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate with missiles (no money down). Already, there is such a ship cleared through Foreign Military Sales – slated for Taiwan. This excellent warship became surplus when Taiwan downsized its order. Redirecting this frigate to the Philippines only needs a decision from top US Defense officials to make it happen. Read more at http://www.mb.com.ph/the-next-steps-us-vs-china-last-of-two-parts/#gD3XP48QKpYe5hxx.99 ---------------------------------------- A very interesting insights coming from FVR... Once the US and PH together with other Country Allies accomplished executing their strategies to counter China, the so called.. - "The Two Words That Explain China’s Assertive Naval Strategy" which is... "Active Defense" favorite tactic of Mao Zedong an article from Foreignpolicy.com. My own version in two words to explain the outcome of China's Naval Strategy in WPS, which is "WOW MALI!" China's downfall, China's communist party downfall, enter a new Democratic China.

@Andres, I'll tell you Bro, but it won't be that easy, the reasons why China is acting like tough guy, to extent challenging the US, is maybe because of their Mach 10 WMDs dubbed as Aircraft Carrier killer Missiles. Here - http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/china/df-21d.htm The USN will just have to locate and identify these weapons, where they are located or deployed, to target them if needed when the time comes.

While all of us focused on the SCS/WPS, the ECS is relatively quiet, or so it seems... Diplomat

How reliable is this report?
If true. It was either: 1) A Chinese bluff. 2) Those Chinese pilots had second thoughts. 3) Chinese leadership didn't know what to do and couldn't get their superiors to ask for orders. 4) They had no capability (at that moment) to send aircraft that far south.
