Why the Philippine Navy is the most powerful navy in the world

IN LEGAL TERMS

YOU got me right. The Philippines is not only the richest Catholic country in Southeast Asia (because we are the only Catholic country in Southeast Asia), our navy is also the most powerful blue water navy on the planet.

Let me explain: During the time when Rodrigo Duterte was president, he was always lashing at the Americans and once insulted former president Barack Obama and the European Union. I was afraid that he would go after the 7th Fleet in the Pacific by sending a warship to confront what is considered the most powerful navy in the world.
