The looming threat of North Korea towards the Philippines The Philippines and North Korea have formally established diplomatic relations in July 12, 200 and over the course of twenty two years both countries developed a bilateral relationship that both countries are not directly hostile to each other but rather it is a relationship full of mutual distrust and . The Philippines is a staunch ally to the United States of America, South Korea, Japan and these three countries share a common interest of the denuclearization of North Korea nuclear program and maintaining peace in the Korean Peninsula and although the Philippines is not part of the Korean Peninsula, the fact still stands that the Philippines is concerned with North Korea nuclear program and continuous ballistic missile tests in which that threatens and endangers the national security of the Philippines. North Korea reluctance to de-escalate its nuclear arms program and its subsequent missile tests over the years is a concern to not only the international community but also to North Korea neighboring countries. North Korea has been repeatedly warned by the international community to halt its nuclear activity, but has so far refused to do so and in turn the Philippines has condemned over the years North Korea's nuclear program and has called on the country to comply with international law. The continuation of North Korea's disobedience toward the demands of the international community that it put an end to its nuclear program is the root cause of the current state of tension that exists between North Korea and the Philippines. The tensions between North Korea the United States with South Korea and Japan can lead to a scenario that presents itself as a larger danger to the Philippines as a conflict between these four countries would also bring China into conflict as both North Korea and China have a mutual defense treaty and the danger of a nuclear war breaking out on the Korean Peninsula would not only affect the international community but also it would affect the Philippines and such a conflict would have catastrophic repercussions for the Filipino people as the Philippines is close ally of the United States and Japan, and has a mutual defense treaty with South Korea making the Philippines potential target for North Korea as the Philippines because it is a close ally of the United States and Japan, and has a mutual defense treaty with South Korea and since the Philippines has no strategic defenses as a means to counteract North Korea nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles it is important to recognize that the Philippines is at constant risk because of North Korea's persistence in testing its missiles and carrying out nuclear weapons tests which represent a serious danger to the country's security
