I would say this is caused BOTH by govt. neglect and China's aggressiveness rather than just one factor alone.

Maritime sovereignty compromised due to gov't neglect - military paper

MANILA - The country’s maritime sovereignty and security have been compromised many times over due to decades of neglect and indifference by past political leadership, according to a military paper.

A 40-page military study, a copy of which was obtained by The STAR, noted that because of this neglect, the country’s external and territorial security have been in a woeful and pathetic state, especially in terms of maritime capability.

“There are now multitude of issues and challenges facing this archipelagic country. These include high rates of human trafficking, weapons smuggling, Chinese assertiveness in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), to name a few,” the paper said.

(...SNIPPED)
