Na, The philippine Navy is there because the Chinese Navy is not allowing the Filipino fishermen fish. They are ramming the boats and water canon them. Seize their catch etc. This is preventing the lively hood of a lot folks on the coast of Luzon’s South China Sea. They are also building Islands on the shoals off the cost with military outposts. This has been going on for years but it is ramping up. We usually keep some Navy there on Patrol but they are over in middle east now.
