Philippines Launches Massive Anti-Invasion Drills in Northern Luzon and South China Sea

The Philippines is entering a new era of defense transformation, shifting from decades of internal counter-insurgency to preparing for external threats under the Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC). Through the Horizon 3 modernization program (2023–2028), the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is enhancing radar systems, missile batteries, and multi-domain exercises like AJEX DAGIT-PA 09-2025 to strengthen readiness across land, sea, and air. This pivot is driven by China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea—marked by collisions, ramming, and water cannon attacks—that have forced Manila to embrace deterrence as a necessity, not a choice. The anti-invasion drills in Northern Luzon and the South China Sea are not mere rehearsals but strategic declarations, underscoring the nation’s resolve to defend its sovereignty and stand with allies such as the United States under the Mutual Defense Treaty and EDCA framework. Despite progress, the AFP faces challenges from underinvestment, with defense spending at only 1.3% of GDP, limiting the speed of modernization. To counterbalance this, Manila has adopted “measured transparency,” exposing Chinese coercion through viral footage and public briefings that transform gray-zone intimidation into international scrutiny. The Philippines’ evolving defense posture now blends deterrence, transparency, and alliance cooperation—signaling a nation determined to turn its archipelagic geography into strategic strength and redefine itself as a credible maritime power capable of upholding peace through resilience and resolve.
