The Philippines is making a bold military move in the South China Sea, announcing new naval bases in Subic Bay, Mindanao, and Sibutu under its ‘Horizon 3’ defense program. Amid rising tensions with China, the expansion aims to strengthen coastal security from Scarborough Shoal to the Spratlys. President Marcos emphasized the need for enhanced naval capabilities. The move also supports trilateral patrols with Indonesia and Malaysia, while rejecting Beijing’s territorial claims and interference in Philippine waters.

Taiwan’s Defense Ministry detected eight PLA Navy ships operating near its waters, signaling a show of force by China. In addition, China launched satellites over central Taiwan, prompting heightened military alerts. In response, the U.S. is deploying advanced missile systems, including the NMESIS and HIMARS, to the Philippines for joint anti-ship drills in the Luzon Strait. These moves come amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, with the U.S. and its allies increasing readiness to counter China’s aggressive posture after condemnation at the ASEAN summit.

ASEAN leaders echoed support for peaceful resolution, freedom of navigation, and a rules-based order.

Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated dramatically as China deployed two H-6 nuclear-capable bombers to Woody Island in the Paracel chain — their first appearance there since 2020. Satellite images confirm the aircraft's presence between May 17 and 23, alongside Y-20 transport planes and a KJ-500 early warning aircraft, signaling a broader Chinese air operation. The strategic move comes just ahead of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where global defense leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, are set to speak.
