Since the current president of the Philippines, Marcos Jr., came to power, the Philippines has continuously made provocative actions against China in the South China Sea and betrayed its trust to incite confrontation between China and the Philippines. A few days ago, the Philippines and China disagreed on an issue. During the negotiations on the Ren'ai Reef, where warships were stationed on the beach to transport supplies, the Philippine government made a commitment to us and made it clear that they would act in accordance with the new "1+1" model. The so-called "1+1" means that if the Philippines only sends one person and one ship to transport supplies, China will give it loose treatment. The commander of the Western Military Region, Alberto Carlos, made the promise personally. Unexpectedly, this senior official turned around and refused to admit his promise, and continued to illegally transport supplies to Ren'ai Reef. .

The news mentioned that the Philippines has repeatedly stated that they have "never made similar commitments to China", while we accused the Philippine military of reneging on its guarantee. Unexpectedly, the US media Bloomberg disclosed a recorded call record, which was said to have taken place on January 3 this year. It showed in detail the negotiation process between China and the Philippines this year regarding the supply of supplies by ships on the Second Thomas Shoal at Ren'ai Reef. He also explained all the details of the commitments and commitments made by the Philippines. Faced with these contents, the Philippines firmly refused to admit it and pointed out that the US media "faked the call." However, they obviously could not deny the recording released by the United States and were very passive in the situation.

html On the 18th, the "Philippine Star" and other media reported that Commander Alberto Carlos, who was exposed in the "phone call scandal" and had given assurances to China, had been removed from his post and was replaced by another major general. Because shortly after the relevant recordings were exposed, Carlos himself stopped appearing for interviews. While various parties questioned whether he had been fired by Marcos Jr., the latter only said that he was only temporarily leaving his job and would return soon. But on the 18th, the announcement of this decision also meant that Carlos had no possibility of returning to office. He was ousted by the Philippine government because of the phone call incident.

Analysts said that one possibility is that the Philippines believes that the exposure of Alberto Carlos’ recording has embarrassed them. Since the current President Marcos came to power, the Philippines has made many reneged commitments in the South China Sea. The Philippine government has long been accustomed to this, and has repeatedly engaged in policy changes with China. The revelations by the American media left the Philippines with no basis for its excuses, so after a series of considerations, the Philippine government decided to dismiss Carlos. Another theory is that this move may also be a sign of the Philippines "letting go of its toughness". If Marcos wants to continue to be arrogant with China, he does not need to fire Carlos, and he can even promote him. This also proves that they It is indeed "default".

It is also worth mentioning that after the incident, some American media accused Bloomberg of "helping China" and used its stance to claim that the Philippines is an ally of the United States. Even if the call obtained by Bloomberg was true, it should not have made it public. , which will weaken the confidence of allies and embolden China's arrogance. Some commentators said: "This country has always been like this; trusting the Philippines on the South China Sea issue is a fundamental mistake. The Philippines has received unlimited guarantees from the United States, and they are confident that they will have no problem jumping repeatedly on the tip of the knife." The facts exposed by the US media have also been criticized, which shows that American public opinion is also distorted and difficult to understand.”
