China views Taiwan as part of its territory and has repeatedly threatened to take the self-ruled island by force if necessary.
He added, “We can’t ignore it.”
“So inevitably, despite our fervent wish to avoid any confrontation with anybody, anywhere, a war over Taiwan will drag the Philippines, kicking and screaming into the conflict,“ he said.
“I hope it doesn’t happen... But if it does we have to plan for it already,“ he said.
“In the event of a confrontation between China and the United States over Taiwan, there is no way that the Philippines can stay out of it simply because of our physical geographic location,“ he said.
China’s foreign ministry condemned Marcos’ remarks, issuing a diplomatic protest and accusing him of “playing with fire” on the Taiwan issue.
Since taking office in 2022, Marcos has strengthened defence ties with the US, which has a mutual defence treaty with Manila. – AFP
