The Biden administration official stated that &#8220;the Chinese have taken some steps that have been really concerning to the Philippine leadership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Reaffirming Mutual Defense Treaty<\/h3>\n<p>The two leaders reaffirmed their nations&#8217; 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty, which requires the US to act in the event of an armed attack on the Philippine military. As part of the agreement, the US will transfer three C-130 aircraft and consider sending maritime patrol vessels to the Philippines.<\/p>\n<h3>Philippines Forced to Diversify Security Engagements<\/h3>\n<p>While Marcos was initially hesitant to position his nation between the US and China in their ongoing competition, China&#8217;s continued belligerence has forced the Philippines to diversify its security engagements. The Chinese ambassador to Manila recently gave a speech about changing circumstances in the Indo-Pacific, which many in the Philippines saw as a veiled threat to the nearly 200,000 Filipinos living in Taiwan.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The US and the Philippines are united in their commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
