Like you, Mr. Ferniz, I have great respect and adoration for the Philippine Navy.
The Philippine Navy will defend its territory if needed be, even if it needs to adopt 'crude' methods. The most popular event that I remember reading about was back in the late 90s when there were multiple Chinese ships intruding into Philippine-claimed Spratleys and deep into the Palawaan reefs.
The Chinese ships, which were carrying the Chinese flag, were told multiple times by the Philippine Navy Patrol boats to repel out of Philippine sea zone. The ships did not listen or heed, as a response the Philippine boats fired warning shots. Still the Chinese ships would not repel. The Philippine Navy responded brutally.
The Navy 'rammed' the Chinese ships forcing many of the ships to sink, and rescuing as many then arresting them for illegal fishing and illegally entering Philippine nautical territory.
Whenever the Chinese Navy sends in its frigates and destroyers to the Spratleys to show its naval force, the Philippine Navy responds by sending in its Surface Fleet. The Philippine Navy does not fear the Chinese, and will defend the Republic's Sovereign Right if needed.
Now that the Philippine Navy recently acquired an advanced Cyclone-Missile Ship from the United States in 2004, the Philippine Navy's surface fleet has been greatly augmented. Philippine Navy now has the ability to shoot Exorcet missiles at foreign cruisers, destroyers and carriers if they ever dare to go into Philippine territory.
The Philippine Navy plans in acquiring more Cyclone-class ships to augment its growing surface fleet. The Philippine Navy is growing. And getting powerful. That is what is important.
New fast-attack ships the Philippine Navy purchased from the USN (United States Navy).
More new ships. American Ambassador to the Philippines touring the recent purchase.

Thanks to the United States!
Philippine's Cyclone Attack Ship.
Because of this, the Republic now has a missile shield. Capable of sending not only surface to air missiles but EXORCET missiles that can sink and damage even the largest of China's frigates and destroyers.
If the Philippine Navy acquires 10 more of this ship to our inventory; not even China would be stupid enough to think about entering Philippine Territory.
This ship ALSO has anti-submarine ability.
