‘Philippines no match vs China’

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino 3rd on Thursday admitted that the Philippines is no match against China’s sheer number but that a confrontation with Asia’s superpower is something “not inevitable.”

In an interview with the Bombo Radyo network, Aquino likened the possibility of a standoff with China to a boxing match match where the odds would be 1 is to 13 in favor of a much bigger opponent.
