MLA STANDARD: JOJO ROBLES - IT'S COMPLICATED
The Aquino administration, of course, has long peddled the belief that the US has our back in our territorial dispute with China over the Spratly Islands. However, Obama did not even mention China is his speech before the soldiers - something that is bothering people who were hoping fo a more definite statement from the US president on the Spratly Islands, similar to the one he made earlier in Japan.

PHILSTAR: JARIUS BONDOC
Obama was NON-COMMITTAL, when asked if America would come to their defense too should Beijing make good its threat forcibly to eject a Philippine Navy vessel from a nearby shoal.

Six days later in Manila, he quibbled that AMERICA TAKES NO SIDE IN TERRITORIAL TIFFS nor is out to "contain China," so he hoped that the latter would "listen to her neighbors."
