Blinken also reaffirmed that a US-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty applied to the South China Sea, the statement said.
The Philippines has described the presence of hundreds of Chinese boats inside its 200-mile exclusive economic zone at Whitsun Reef in the South China Sea as swarming and threatening.

Surigao del Sur Rep. Johnny Pimentel on Friday called for joint naval war games between the Philippines and the United States, and the signing of a new “Manila Declaration”, strongly renewing the allegiance of the two countries to the 1951 RP-US Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT).
“We should have another Manila Declaration, considering China’s plan to occupy more areas in the West Philippine Sea that are clearly within our 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone,” Pimentel, House Strategic Intelligence Committee chairperson, said on Friday, April 8, which was also ‘’Araw ng Kagitingan’’.
In the Senate, the MDT is an untapped weapon in the arsenal of the Philippines to prevent our fish within the RP Exclusive Economic Zone (EZZ) from being stolen, Senator Panfilo M. Lacson, chairman of the Senate Committee on National Defense, said.
