the only scenario that makes sense on why the govt is not in a big rush with purchasing lethal weaponry is that once ITLOS release the ruling, and the philippine govt physically enforces the ruling by ramming or even raids on the artificial islands. Obviously, the bully will react so , perhaps, this scenario has already been rehearsed and what happens next is we invoke the mutual defense treaty then uncle sam will intervene to meet the bully. Remember, when that AFP officer said that we are on out own ? he said , we are on our own until the ITLOS release the ruling then that is the time uncle sam knows in which parts of the west philippine sea it can legally intervene when the mutual defense treaty is invoked. So between now and the ITLOS ruling, we have to grit our teeth and put up with these incursions. if these scenario is not in the works at all, then the leisurely pace of the modernization is definitely criminal to our constitution and people.

^Some are already happening as a result.. If they (China) persists, continues on their illegal activities in WPS, most likely, this will become like what is happening to Russia right now, (isolated). The big difference comes where China unlike Russia, would be facing a maybe a weaker opponent like the Philippines, BUT backed with MDT superpower big brother the US and tagging along allies Japan, SK in an instance. An ala Eastern Ukraine scenario Russian invasion, by China in WPS, most especially if a single Filipino AFP Men's blood or more are spilled, would end up an all out war on China, by the Philippines regardless of it's weak Military in any which way.
