MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): After meeting with top diplomats from the United States, Japan, South Korea, and India last week, incoming President Ferdinand Marcos Jr outlined his approach toward China's persistent incursions in the West Philippine Sea, serving notice that he would not allow "a single square millimetre" of Philippine territory to be trampled upon.

This is certainly a welcome move to Filipinos rendered helpless by the Duterte administration's policy of acquiescence toward Beijing, despite its duplicitous actions against its smaller neighbour.
