💨 Abstract

The Philippines will install Japanese-supplied radars on the Batanes islands to boost coastal surveillance capabilities, particularly to monitor the Bashi Channel and serve as an evacuation route for Filipinos from Taiwan if China invades. The radars, valued at $3.8 million, were granted by Japan in 2023 as part of a security assistance program. The move aims to strengthen security cooperation with like-minded allies.
