MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo said there is no need to wage war against China to defend the West Philippine Sea, stressing that Manila should use its victory against Beijing before an arbitral tribunal to build a “coalition of nations” that would protect the waters.

 

“We don’t need to wage war. What we need to do is to enter into alliances with traditional and emerging partners, allies, so they can help us protect the West Philippine Sea,” Robredo, who is running for president, said in Filipino in an interview with entertainment host Boy Abunda that premiered Wednesday.

 

She said forging alliances by leveraging the 2016 arbitral ruling that invalidated China’s historical claim over much of the South China Sea, including portions within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, is a “low-hanging fruit.”
