    Excerpt
    President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday ordered the military to fortify the country’s controlled islands in the South China Sea in a bid to strengthen Philippine claims over the disputed territories. Duterte said he was willing for the government to spend for fortifications in the islands, including the repair of an airstrip in Palawan. Duterte also reiterated his plan to change the name of Benham Rise, another territory claimed by the country in the Pacific Ocean, to “Philippine Ridge.”
