MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippine Coast Guard is losing restraint over the continued “bullying” by China, the last incident being the firing of a water cannon on a resupply boat in the South China Sea.

Unreliable sources tell The Adobo Chronicles that the PCG is finalizing its “Oplan L,” which would grant blanket authority to all its vessels to respond with laser beams in the event of another water cannon attack by the Chinese Coast Guard.

Moral of the story: the Philippines will no longer take water cannon attacks just sitting down. It will respond accordingly using modern technology!
