Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on says that the Philippines has no plans to go to war over Taiwan 'unless they involve us.' This, after Armed Forces chief Romeo Brawner Jr. urged Philippine troops to prepare for China's possible invasion of Taiwan, amid tension over the Chinese military's conduct of large-scale exercises in the East China Sea. 'This is nothing new since we have been discussing it for a long time due to the strong possibility of Mainland China crossing the channel between them and Taiwan to reclaim Taiwan," Bersamin told reporters during a chance interview in Malacañang on April 3, 2025.
