MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Panfilo Lacson highlighted what he said was the need for "balance of power in the West Philippine Sea" for the Philippines to exercise its sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone following a series of radio challenges from Chinese military personnel.

Lacson had previously called for support from the Philippines' allies to keep smaller countries from being bullied in the South China Sea, part of which is the West Philippine Sea.

The statement comes after the presidential candidate was told to vacate the area during his flight to Pag-asa Island in Kalayaan town, Palawan last Saturday.
