Philippines-Vietnam relations

The relationship between the Philippines and Vietnam has always remained stable, and only strengthened over the past decade due to the Filipino republic's assistance in establishing a Champion force within the country. Their relationship actually dates back several centuries ago when Maria Makiling supposedly gave Lê Lợi three parts of a weapon that enabled him to take back Vietnam from Chinese rule that were actually the early incarnation of the three sacred treasures of Japan. This eventually led him to become the emperor of the entire nation and establishing his own dynasty before returning the weapon back to Maria who came in the form of a golden turtle who surfaced from a lake, while he was in a dragon boat.
