The Philippines is trying to enlist China to help secure the marine security in ASEAN and may grant a military base to China to fulfill this agenda. This is akin to Singapore granting the USA a military naval base in Singapore.
The Philippines is getting proactive in pushing its agenda to increase its importance and influences in ASEAN by collaborating with China. It knows that by leveraging on China's support and backing, its economic and political prowess will improve by leaps and bounds in ASEAN. The Philippines economy is growing at more than twice of Singapore's in recent times and it wants to displace Singapore to become an important ASEAN member.
