Philippine Ambassador to Beijing, Chito Sta. Romana, tells a forum on South China Sea Monday, Feb. 19, 2018 in Manila, Philippines. Romana said the risks of an armed conflict have increased in the disputed South China Sea with a militarily stronger China now able to challenge the United States, which used to be the dominant power in the strategic waterway. Romana said the balance of power was shifting with the two global powers vying for control of the waters, adding the Philippines should not get entangled in the increasingly tense maritime rivalry.
