Weeks later, in another place, northeastern part of the Philippine homeland, there's a small number of coastguard guarding the new territorial water of the Philippines.
There, they notice strange figure approaching their vicinity.
"This is the Philippine Coastguard, you are currently inside the territorial water of the Philippines, please turn around." They warn, however, the approaching boat didn't comply and instead it's speed became faster.
"Again, this is the Philippine coastguard, you are currently at the territorial water of the Republic of the Philippines. We advise for your to turn around or we will use force."
*Wooshhhh!*
Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound echoed from the sky as the coastguard starts to panic.
In their radar, they saw nothing, which they came to a conclusion, an American aircraft.
"Report to the homeland, we are currently underattack by the US navy!"
Then, another barrier breaking sound echo, and another, and another.
Fortunately, they immediately got a message using a device that was just recently invented using the technology of mana. Despite being jammed, no such thing affect the radio message.
"Pretend by giving one last warning and use the new weapon. It is a guided missile battery that is faster than the latest generation of their stealth fighter jet." is the order.
The crew didn't hesitate and give another instruction.
"Last warning, this is the Philippine coastguard, turn around or we will be forced to use power!" they warn, however, the stalker didn't comply.
"Fire!" He order which opens a couple of missile battery targeting the already escaping jet. However, due to its speed, it was able to reach the enemy aircraft within minute."
"Enemy aircraft down!"
"Targeting boogey!"
"Fire!" Then there, a loud explosion echoed which resulted from the destruction of the USS destroyer.
-----
A few days later, a ground-breaking news was issued to the world. The Republic of the Philippines attacked the USS navy unprovoked which result the lives of 30 crew including two pilots.
Because of that, hard sanction was placed.
"What a crude fellows. They truly are the worst." Ramirez said as he hold his lips out of dissapointment. Not because of the action of his coastguard, but because of the enemies'.
"Truly." Ugo said as he took a sip from the cup.
"Well then, we will have to finish the plan faster." He said.
The plan was supposed to be held in the next three months, however, now that they are being held in sanction, they will be forced to exploit the resources within the portal or else, they will starve to death.
And he doesn't want that, which is also the plan of the western world.
"We have to develop their lands. Should we just enslave the people of Yggdrasil too?"
"You're being out of your mind, Ugo. But it's still a valid option. Still, we're not desperate enough to commit such crime." Ramirez said and began to deeply think about their current situation.
Over 16 million filipino were abroad. If the sanction were to officially be announced, they will all have to be return.
Wait, return?
"That's it!"
"What?!" Ugo was surprise from the president's sudden action and splurt out the coffee he just sipped.
"We just have to use these sanctions against them. Let's send all our people back from their country!"
"G-good idea."
Both of them immediately move from the office and deliver an announcement to the media.
Within the week, filipino news were issued throughout the country. Due to the social media, it was also delivered across the world.
In the next month, over half of the OFW returned and was given special treatment to the newly recovered land of Japan. They were also given jobs that is suitable for them. Some also volunteer to work within the portals which is also a valid job to be paid, albeit higher salary.
Now, with enough human resources, Ramirez's problem slightly became lighter. But, there's the problem, they're currently being isolated from the rest of the world.
Doodle company was shut down, and so is the moonbucks. Peach mobile company also left the country leaving many of the filipino left with nothing to use.
A complete chaos was again happening.
"What now?" Ugo said to Ramirez who's currently massaging his temple.
"I need a break, perhaps. Should I quit?"
"No, if you quit, I'll quit, then there will be chaos once again."
Ramirez sigh. He wants something, yet he can't. Why is the world not favoring his country?
"Perhaps we should call it a quits."
"We can't."
"I know, I'm joking."
"..."
Ramirez thought about something, but it's a dangerous path. He can develop the other side to his own liking, but since the resources have depleted he can't continue his invasion.
It will still takes another or two months before they manage to get some resources from the other side. For now they're relying on their own resources.
