MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Philippine military remains resolute in protecting the country's maritime domain, despite China's new law.
Major-General Edgard Arevalo, spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, gave the assurance last Saturday (Feb 20) that the military was unmoved by China's new law that authorises its coast guard to fire weapons at foreign vessels intruding in its territory.
