In Troubled Waters

        Here is the West Philippine Sea or  what the Chinese are calling it, "South China Sea". It is being claimed by both countries, Philippines and China. They are fighting for the territory and for the resources that lies in the disputed islands found in there.

What is really happening?

  Disputed Islands are being AGGRESSIVELY claimed by China for its rich resources, uncharted minerals and oils by placing so called surveillance ships, but its real aim is to HARASS Philippine ships and fishermen from nearby islands from the Philippines. Do we really want China claiming our territory? Do we want our men being harassed? Wake up Filipino citizens!

The Philippines has protested Chinese land reclamation at a disputed reef in the South China Sea, saying it violates Manila's exclusive economic zone

How does the Philippine Government react to China's action?

       The Philippines have filed a legal sanction against China at the United Nation International Court regarding the incidents. 

     

        

     But China also reacted to what the Philippines had done, China is telling us to cancel the sanction and have an agreement about the territory.

Philippine Area of  Responsibility

    

         In terms of location, it is clear that China is too far away for them to claim the West Philippine Sea. There is an international law that proves the longitude and latitude territorial of sovereignty.
