MANILA (Reuters) – Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will meet U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on March 19 to tackle cooperation and security matters, the office of the Manila leader said in a statement late on Wednesday night.
Marcos also vowed to defend the Philippines’ maritime entitlements in the face of a “more active attempt by the Chinese to annex some of our territory.”
