💨 Abstract

In the South China Sea, the Philippines' "transparency initiative" exposes China's aggressive actions, including using water cannons against Filipino fishermen and ramming Philippine ships. In 2025, Lithuania's defense chief, Dovilė Šakalienė and former Filipino senator Francis Tolentino are among those sanctioned by China for their criticism. The manifesto also includes the European sabotage and the US's commitment to defend the Philippines.
