BONGABONG, Oriental Mindoro - Despite reports that a Chinese general had his government to take "decisive action" against the Philippines over a territorial dispute, President Benigno Aquino III believes that China will not launch a military action against the country.  
BARANGAY ANILAO, Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro, April 30 (PNA) -- President Benigno S. Aquino III said on Sunday that the Philippines will continue to support its stand to resolve territorial claims over contested Scarborough Shoal diplomatically and to de-escalate any tensions between the country and China.
 
Aquino is convinced that the Chinese general's statement may be more metaphorical than substantial, adding that the general being quoted may not have a direct command of the Chinese military.
This after a Chinese general recently called for decisive action against the Philippines.
 
Aquino added that the Philippines' actions over Scarborough shoal are aimed at "de-escalating" the tension.
The President expressed confidence China would not take any action against the Philippines as both countries believed no one would benefit if military force was used to end the dispute.
 
"I think basahin mo siguro 'yung iba-ibang headline nung People's Daily na mas matindi pa. Meron 'yung isa na 'prepare to hear the sound of canons,' etcetera. But it's a question of style. Mahilig silang mag-ganun e, 'yung parang…metaphoric siguro magsalita,” he said.
“We don’t think that at this point in time they will engage in any military activities. Purposely, our actions have been geared towards de-escalating the situation,” the President said.
 
“We don't think that at this point in time that they will engage in any military activities… Purposely, our actions have been geared towards de-escalating the situation. So 'yung clear it is to nobody's benefit and there are a lot of repercussions if any military force happens to be employed here. So we think that is more a statement… that lacks substance. Hindi indicative of the real intentions," Aquino told reporters.
“It's clear that it is to nobody’s benefit and there are a lot of repercussions if any military force happens to be employed here,” he added.
 
Asked if Philippine authorities would arrest Chinese poachers, Aquino said the priority is not to escalate the situation but said activities there are being documented so that there would be evidence if cases are filed.
He said the continued presence of Chinese vessels and crew at the disputed island is being documented “so that when we make our case in the appropriate body, we have the necessary evidence.”
 
He said the government is also reviewing all relevant local and international laws to determine the rules that will operate in the area.
He also said the government will continue reviewing all relevant local and international laws to determine the rules that will operate in the area.
