An alternative to ‘defeatist attitude’ on the West Philippine Sea 0 SHARES Share it! Thus, we must continue to seek an alternative to what Justice Carpio describes as a “defeatist attitude” on the West Philippine Sea. Enter into a convention with Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei on the South China Sea. Welcome and encourage freedom of navigation and overflight operations (FONOPS) of naval powers – US, UK, France, Australia, Japan, and Canada – in the South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea. Send the Philippine Navy to join FONOPS of foreign naval powers to assert the country’s EEZ in the WPS.
