Pro-China X (formerly Twitter) accounts are running a coordinated campaign against President Marcos Jr. and the Philippines’ West PH Sea efforts while amplifying content favoring VP Sara Duterte.

Together with the Army and the Air Force, the US Navy has been upgrading its capability to increase deterrence and discourage China from its plan to invade Taiwan by 2027.
Manila does not need an ally that cannot be relied on and changes its mind depending on its interests.
Should the Philippines be concerned about these foreign policy changes?
