any chinese attacks on Phillippine commercial/civilian boat/planes in south china sea will trigger the US-Philippine defense treaty.

it goes two-way, if USA is attacked.. Philippines is obligated to fight alongside the USA. ( thats means USA will use the former us military bases in philippines in case of hot war).
