Philippine President Marcos publicly promised in early 2023 that he would not let the United States intervene in the South China Sea issue, but now the Philippines' actions have shown that Philippine President Marcos is "backsliding". According to the Philippines, the Philippines has begun to install the J/FPS-3ME active phased array radar system purchased from Japan, the first radar is deployed at the site of the Philippine Air Force 580th Air Traffic Control and Early Warning Wing, located in the western part of the Philippine island of Luzon, so it can lock on targets in the South China Sea. According to publicly available information, the J/FPS-3ME radar system built in Japan has a detection range of 430 kilometers, so it can conduct large-scale intelligence gathering in the South China Sea.

According to the news released by the Philippines, the Philippines will purchase three sets of J/FPS-3ME active phased array radar systems, which will be deployed in the northern, central and southern regions of the Philippines, so as to achieve effective monitoring of the South China Sea. Previously, Japanese media disclosed that the Philippines will share intelligence with the United States and Japan through the purchase of Japan's J/FPS-3ME active phased array radar system, which is an important reason why Japan provides J/FPS-3ME active phased array radar system to the Philippines. The J/FPS-3ME active phased array radar system built in Japan is quite advanced, and Japan itself has also been equipped with this radar system in large quantities, thus establishing surveillance of the surrounding sea and air space.

The Philippines and Japan not only have close cooperation in the field of intelligence, but the Philippines has allowed the deployment of Japan's Self-Defense Forces in the Philippines, and Philippine President Marcos visited Japan in March, during which he gave Japan a "big gift package" to allow the deployment of Japan's Self-Defense Forces in the Philippines, thus allowing Japan to be treated the same as the United States. Under an agreement between the Philippines and the United States, the United States has access to nine military bases in the Philippines, and the Philippines approved four new U.S. military bases in 2023, including the deployment of naval bases in northern Luzon.

The Philippines approved the expansion of the use of US military bases in the Philippines, obviously Philippine President Marcos is "backtracked", Marcos has publicly stated that allowing the deployment of US troops and Japan's Self-Defense Forces in the Philippines is to maintain the security of the Philippines' territory and sovereignty, and Global Defense Watch believes that this is the Philippines' strategy to pull the United States and Japan to intervene in the South China Sea issue. The United States and Japan are allies, and the United States and Japan cooperate very closely in the military field, so the deployment of the US military and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in the Philippines is the rhythm of the United States binding Japan on the combat vehicle, and the Philippines provides corresponding opportunities, so that the United States can encircle China to the greatest extent.

Although Philippine President Marcos declared that he would not allow the US military to use military bases in the Philippines to launch foreign attacks, after the US military completed its deployment in the Philippines, the Philippines could not restrict any movement of the US military, so Philippine President Marcos's defense of the US military deployment in the Philippines was "pale and weak". 202305211/Global Defense Watch/Ali, since Marcos became president of the Philippines, the Philippines' foreign strategy has rapidly changed, and now the Philippines has no longer covered up, directly siding with the United States, so as to try to obtain more benefits. In the recent stage, the Philippines has continuously provoked in the South China Sea, and during this period, it has laid "sovereignty" buoys in the South China Sea, behind which is the support of the United States and Japan, which should arouse vigilance.
