Responding to a question claiming concern over the Philippines' defense build-up — its modernization, pivot to external defense, and expansion of external defense ties — Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. on Thursday, October 29, says none of the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have voiced out any "concerns." "Yet we cannot deny the unilateral illegal claims made by China on [the] Philippines maritime domain. And if other ASEAN countries were subjected to the same kind of action in the magnitude the Philippines is experiencing, I am sure that they would resist this to the best of their ability and — and likewise the Philippines would not fault them for it," says Teodoro.
