WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Friday reassured the Philippines anew that the U.S. commitment to the country's defense is steadfast amid increasing concerns about provocative Chinese actions in disputed areas of the South China Sea.A day after President Joe Biden convened a trilateral summit involving himself, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the U.S. and Filipino foreign and defense ministers and national security advisers met to discuss strategic and military issues.Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and national security adviser Jake Sullivan hosted their Philippine counterparts at the State Department.“Today’s meeting reflects the growing and deepening cooperation between our countries on a broad array of issues and of course our shared commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific, including in the South China Sea,” Blinken said in brief opening remarks. “We very much welcome this opportunity to pursue that cooperation, that collaboration and of course we stand with the Philippines in our iron-clad defense commitments including the Mutual Defense Treaty.”Philippine Foreign Minister Enrique Manalo echoed those remarks. “We attach a lot of importance to this meeting especially in light of recent developments in the South China Sea, especially China’s escalation of its harassment,” he said. "We are determined to assert our sovereign rights, especially within our exclusive economic zone.”Austin later hosted Marcos at the Pentagon, where they discussed ways to deepen military cooperation, including by increasing the frequency of joint patrols in the South China Sea. Austin noted that the Pentagon’s budget request for 2025 includes $128 million for 36 projects at Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement sites, which would more than double the amount it has invested since the program began 10 years ago.“This visit here to the Pentagon reaffirms once again the strength of the relationship between the United States and the Philippines in the face of all of the threats and challenges that we have had to face together,” Marcos said. He said he hoped the agreements reached Thursday “will make the safety, the peace and the stability of the South China Sea a reality.”On Thursday at the summit, Biden said the U.S. treaty obligations to its Pacific allies, like Japan and the Philippines, were “ironclad.” “Any attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels or armed forces in the South China Sea would invoke our mutual defense treaty,” Biden said.The White House billed the first trilateral summit with Japan and the Philippines as a potent response to China’s attempts at “intimidation” and said it would send a message that China is “the outlier in the neighborhood,” according to an administration official.The U.S. and the Philippines have had a mutual treaty in place for more than 70 years. Biden’s vigorous reinforcement of the American commitment comes in the midst of persistent skirmishes between the Philippine and Chinese coast guards in the disputed South China Sea.Relations between China and the Philippines have been repeatedly tested by confrontations involving the two nations’ coast guard vessels there. Chinese coast guard ships also regularly approach disputed Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands near Taiwan.The so-called “gray-zone” harassment by China has included shining military-grade lasers at the Philippine Coast Guard, firing water cannons at vessels and ramming into Philippine ships near the Second Thomas Shoal, which both Manila and Beijing claim. In 1999, Manila intentionally ran a World War II–era ship aground on the shoal, establishing a permanent military presence there.Chinese officials have bristled at criticism over their actions in the South China Sea and blamed the U.S. for exacerbating tensions.Spokeswoman Mao Ning of the Chinese Foreign Ministry said China has “indisputable sovereignty” over the Second Thomas Shoal — a primary source of contention with the Philippines — as well as the Senkaku Islands and said its actions in the South and East China Seas are justified, lawful and beyond reproach.“We firmly oppose relevant countries flexing muscles and acting like bullies in the South China Sea,” she said. “Relevant countries, out of selfish interests, join countries outside the region and serve as their pawns to contain China. Our message to these countries: recent history tells us that eventually pawns will easily be abandoned.”Biden, a Democrat, has made improving relations with the Philippines a priority since Marcos became the country’s president in June 2022. The relationship has had ups and downs over the years and was in a difficult place when Marcos took office. Human rights groups said Marcos’ predecessor Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings.Marcos, the son and namesake of the country’s former dictator, said as a candidate he would look to pursue closer ties with China. But he has increasingly drifted toward Washington amid concerns about China’s coercive action. (AP) Can I play on my mobile devices? Philippines AMID concerns sparked by the beaching of thousands of fish along the shores of two towns in southern Cebu, a fisheries official has assured the public the events should not be taken as a precursor to an earthquake or an impending tsunami.“It should be treated as a positive result. Let us not associate it with any geological or weather phenomenon,” Johann Tejada, spokesman of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Bfar) 7 told SunStar Cebu on Monday, Feb. 19, 2024.The unusual phenomenon, which has caught the attention of locals and netizens after thousands of fish swarmed the shores of Ginatilan town and dozens of baby sharks visited shallow waters in Santander last week, prompted speculation about a potential seismic activity.Tejada explained that fish stranding is a natural occurrence influenced by various environmental factors, including the growth of fish populations. It does not necessarily indicate seismic disturbances, he said.A Superbalita report last Feb. 18 said residents of Barangay Poblacion in Ginatilan, southwest Cebu witnessed an unusual scenario where schools of fish were seen swarming the shores on the night of Feb. 11.The phenomenon happened again on Feb. 14, prompting residents, even those from mountain areas, to go to the sea bringing with them containers to catch some fish.“If sea animals start migrating away from the water, it could be a sign of an impending tsunami or natural disaster. Instead of feeling happy, prepare food and safety measures. If you live near the coast, consider moving to higher ground,” a Facebook user commented on the SunStar post in Cebuano. Meanwhile, last Feb. 13, several baby sharks were seen swimming along the coastline of Barangay Pasil, Santander town in the southmost part of Cebu province.Tejada attributed the phenomenon to the growing fish population in the Tañon Strait Protected Seascape, stretching between western and eastern Cebu, owing to its protected status.Covering 5,182 square kilometers, commercial fishing is banned in the strait which has been safeguarded under Presidential Proclamation 1234 since 1998.He added that the rise in fish population is also a result of the three-month fishing ban in the Visayan Sea imposed by the Bfar 7 from Nov. 15, 2023 to Feb. 15, 2024 after the bureau noted a decreasing supply of fish in the region.“It contributed to the replenishment of the fish,” Tejada said.Last year, Bfar 7 issued Fisheries Administrative Order 167-3, prohibiting the catching, killing, selling, or possessing sexually mature sardines, herrings, mackerels, or their larvae, fry, or young, locally known as “lupoy,” “silinyasi,” “linatsay,” or “manansi,” in a portion of the Visayan Sea and adjacent waters.Tejada said the schools of fish seen along the shoreline were stranded in shallow waters because they were disoriented while pursuing food and not because of an incoming tsunami which has not been proven. While he did not discount that animals have a way of detecting disturbances, Tejada said the Bfar does not dwell on such thoughts.Applying the principle of the food chain, Tejada further explained that the population of smaller fish grew, which consequently attracted larger fish to prey on them. This also accounts for the presence of the bigger fish, he said.“Let us refrain from thinking about that. If there are a lot of fish, we should be happy,” he said.

ONE of the owners of Mactan Rock Industries Inc., which has been blamed for the sudden transformation of the once murky waters of Tejero Creek into a white hue, denied Sunday, April 7, 2024, that the discharge came from the operations of their desalination facility in the area.Antonio Tompar said in a phone interview that they will address the matter accordingly once they personally receive the citation ticket that was received by one of their employees.“Kanang puti, dili na amoa. Clear water ang among gi-discharge bisan pa og tan-awon ninyo,” he said.(That white water does not come from our facility. We discharge clear water, even if you look at it.)He also welcomed further investigation on the matter.“The DENR should investigate more because that is not ours.

Padilla streets.In an interview conducted on Facebook Messenger, Ceset head Grace Luardo admitted that they were unaware of the situation until SunStar Cebu inquired on the matter. She then sent a team to inspect the creek.Luardo said there could be possible human activities, like dumping of chemicals, in the area that resulted in the transformation of the color of the water.After Ceset’s inspection, Luardo told SunStar Cebu that the occurrence was due to the improper drainage system of Mactan Rock Industries Inc., one of the bulk water suppliers of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District. She said they issued a citation ticket on Saturday afternoon to Mactan Rock Industries Inc. for violating City Ordinance 2398, which concerns the absence of a septic tank and proper drainage.Luardo said the company must pay a penalty of P2,000 within seven working days at the Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Ccenro).Luardo, however, said another inspection is scheduled for Monday, April 8, with the Department of the Environment and Natural Resources-Environmental Management Bureau 7, Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office, Task Force Gubat sa Baha, and the Coastal Management Board.The inspection may involve the collection of water samples for chemical testing.She also said they will forward the matter to the City Legal Office.
