The current Marcos government is a shift towards the United States and is gladly offering up The Philippines, a neocolony of the United States, as a forward base for the "containment" of China. This includes a reversal in both policy and propaganda when it comes to the South China Sea.

Gee, I wonder why? Why would they be afraid of a country preparing to conquer new teritory by force?

You think the Marcos government returned from partial alignment to the full alignment with the previous neocolonial regime under the thumb of the primary global superpower that already occupies their country and has done so for over 100 years because "China scary"?

lmao
