Hindi yan kabahagi ng EEZ ha, yung Julian Felipe. Labas po yan, ganyan po kalayo yan, said Roque.

Hontiveros to DFA: lead talks with ASEAN on WPS dispute

Published May 11, 2021, 1:15 PM Senator Risa Hontiveros on Tuesday, May 11 urged the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to lead discussions with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regarding the prolonged presence of Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea. Hontiveros said the DFA should start actively reaching out to other ASEAN member states that also have claims in the South China Sea (SCS), such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei to strengthen the Philippine’s rights on its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the WPS region. The senator said it would also be to the country’s advantage if the Philippines and Indonesia strengthen its bilateral ties considering that it is the only ASEAN member state that has publicly acknowledged the country’s 2016 victory at The Hague.

AFP Chief lied on new illegal structures at Union Banks

AFP Chief lied on new ‘illegal structures’ at Union Banks Rigoberto D. Tiglao OR perhaps Armed Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana was just fed the wrong information or just ignorant of the Spratly Islands dispute, when he claimed last April 1 that the Chinese had built new illegal structures at Union Banks (Pagkakaisa Banks to us). This is the reef complex where the Julian Felipe Reef (Whitsun Reef) is, that Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana claimed on March 21, 2021, the “Chinese militia vessels” had been massing. Lorenzana’s claim was ignored by other claimant states; even by Vietnam which has four installations built on reefs in the area: it is common knowledge that Chinese fishing fleets normally mass to seek refuge from storms in that area because its boomerang shape provides an ideal shield from tidal and storm surges.
