MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday tagged China's latest threat of detaining 'trespassers' in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) an 'act of escalation' amid the two countries' long-standing territorial dispute over the waterway.

Speaking to the Philippine media delegation at the conclusion of his two-day state visit to Brunei Darussalam, Marcos said that Beijing's new policy was 'a worrisome development.'
