The purpose of this article is to analyse how the Philippines has responded to the growing US-China strategic competition by managing its maritime security. The article assesses that the Philippines is facing increasing pressure from China, especially in the South China Sea issue. This is related to the adjustments in foreign policy of President Ferdinand Marcos towards reducing the closeness with China since the time of President Rodrigo Duterte and increasing the alliance with the US. This makes the Philippines one of the arenas of US-China strategic competition in the Southeast Asian region. The article also assesses that, to better manage the issue of maritime security, the Philippines has promoted increased cooperation with the US, as well as other US allies. The Philippines considers this a significant response to China’s increasingly assertive moves in the South China Sea.
