Ping Lacson: Balance of Power Proving Effective vs Threats in WPS

DUMAGUETE CITY – The balance of power that the Marcos administration has adopted is proving effective so far in fending off threats in the West Philippine Sea, former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.

Lacson reiterated his full support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s policy of the Philippines not surrendering “not even an inch” of our territory.

“One thing the President did that I support, is that he allied with other countries that are as militarily strong if not stronger than China. This is what I have been espousing – the balance of power,” he said in Filipino at a press conference of the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate here.

Tough and reassuring. This was how former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson described the reply of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to China’s urging the Philippines to return the Typhon missile system to the United States.

Lacson noted President Marcos’ stance to return the Typhon missiles if China stopped harassing Filipinos in the West Philippine Sea at least left some space for possible talks between the two countries.

But Lacson also reiterated his call for the Philippines and its allies to maintain a “balance of power” in the West Philippine Sea to deter aggressive actions from China.
