Chinas aggressiveness on
territorial reclamation ignites fear from affected countries, in the Philippines
a peaceful village was transformed into a Naval Base that can host warships
from United States.
Ulugan bay Philippines suddenly
plays a vital part on Philippines goal to increase military defense, in fortification
to the contested South China Sea.
President Aquino makes sure that
progress eyed for, the completion of Philippine Naval Base in Ulugan will be
the frontline for our defense operation in the Philippine territories. The base is located at west coast of western
islands in Palawan. 100 miles away from the groups of islets of Spratly known
as “kalayaan
group of islands”
Sea plays a significant role in
countries economy. Almost all country uses it for shipping activities. But it
is believed that it has enormous reserve of natural gases.
The USD11.4 million project for
Ulugan upgrade was not enough to deter China with a USD110.5 billion budget for
its military expenses. This strategy from the Philippine defense may not be the
total solution, but this can be a potential game changer with the assistance of
the American troops for the use of their modern facilities thru EDCA.
