The Philippines has recently secured new security agreements with several countries, including the United States and Japan. This comes as tensions continue to rise in the South China Sea, where the Philippines has maritime disputes with China.
The details of the agreements vary, but they generally focus on increased cooperation in areas like maritime security, joint military exercises, and defense equipment. Analysts believe these deals are intended to strengthen the Philippines' ability to patrol its territorial waters and deter Chinese assertiveness in the region.
China claims vast swathes of the South China Sea, despite objections from the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations. The Philippines has previously challenged China's claims in international courts.
