us officials claimed that the "temporary deployment" was for "security" reasons, but this "temporary" seemed to have opened the prelude to a "smoke bomb". the extent of the philippine military's training on the us "typhon" is unknown, but the "temporary deployment" forced the philippine government to purchase the indian-made "brahmos" supersonic anti-ship missile. in the eyes of the philippines, this "fire stick" may be just a weapon to prevent the us "smoke bomb", or it may be a "backer" to deal with china's actions on the islands and reefs in the south china sea.

the philippines' military acquisition plan is not an isolated incident. it reflects the complexity and fierce competition of today's international situation. the escalating political tensions between the united states and china have triggered impacts on global security. in order to safeguard its own interests, the philippines has to make difficult choices and is also faced with the conflict between "interests" and "responsibilities" when choosing weapons and equipment.

however, the philippines' military acquisition plan is not just a simple action to purchase weapons and equipment. it reflects the political situation and economic pressure in the philippines. the philippine government needs to raise huge funds, which requires them to obtain funds from the domestic fiscal budget and may need to seek support from international loans.

the deployment of the brahmos missile has also brought new challenges to the relationship between the philippines and china. china's attitude in its actions in the south china sea and the military behavior of the philippines may lead to escalation of tensions.
