That "since the Han dynasty" bs is ridiculous! If the Chinese think they had a strong claim because their ancestors had been fishing there while they were busy breaking up, reuniting, breaking up and the cycle goes on. In that case, the Filipinos have a stronger claim because their ancestors were not only fishing there but they were also bathing & swimming there for recreation because it's literally a backyard pool (Spratlys & Scarborough) for the Filipinos.

With the new laws, the Philippines 🇵🇭 will be able to *board and arrest* Chinese vessels, maritime militias or Coast Guard, not operating on the defined sea lanes within the Philippine's EEZ.

[ArabicReja]

*International laws* are very clear on the South China Sea:
- parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries including the Philippines 🇵🇭,
- the rest of it is the international water,
- no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.

THE WORLD KNOWS that the Philippine Claim is LEGAL and BINDING -- UNCLOS
China's claim is not.
Where in the International Law that 9-line or 10-line is legal ? -- None.
Historical Basis -- The magnificent map of the Philippine archipelago, drawn by the Jesuit Father Pedro Murillo Velarde in Manila in 1734.

Murillo Maps is The oldest Maps of all, the Evidence WPS are belongs to the Philippines, china historical claims is Elementary child drawing China Modern Maps 😅

Chinese didn't get in there until the 90s when the US left. US used those island as target practice when the US Air base in the philippines were operational. This Joseph Estrsda fault being corrupt and not agreed upon the deal and closed the US base.

Why not we ask magellan the Portuguese geographer landed in Cebu in 1500? philippine is already existed in year 400AD pre historic up to 900AD-1500 colonial Era? Those Shoal are shared with multiple traders and fishermen not until this china wants to claim the whole Southeast Asia Sea. They’re feeling entitled because our politicians failed to protect our sovereign rights. Kudos to Marcos for having balls to protect and maintain the balance peace.


Indonesia and Philippines are closest austronesian brothers as you can see indo and filipino have similarities.

China draws 9 dash line like kindergarten, so disgusting and funny

[Goodadvise]

If Philippines had a problem with chinese in Philippine sea why they didn’t know that chinese had a big mining in Bicol province of manila heard that no pilipinos work inside the said mining is there any malicious thing happening inside?

[gravedanger]

Han Dynasty 😅, filipinos are there since king Solomon visited Ophir aka Philippines

[wolfang]

FYI; the recent two new Law's of the philippines is base and drawn on International Law's and maritime rules of the Sea. 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration favored to the philippines and UNCLOS ( EEZ ) and Treaty of Washington 1900 . The new Law's just defined extent and assert there rights in accordance of international Law's and social Norm's lastly as a sovereign country.

[ninopmanosemaj]

WPS is a Phillipine territory not a Chinese territory!

[jose-yhh]

China loves to imagine that everything "belongs to em"🤣😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 why dont the communist rename thier country as WEST TAIWAN SINCE ACIENT TIME🤣😅🤣🤣🤣

[bitcoinmonitor]

that reefs belong to Philippine until Chinese pirates steal in 2012 to reduce the tension ph warship and china warship should left but Chinese pirates comeback and steal the reef.

[patrickexplorer]

400AD up to 900AD we don’t have a government because our country is ruled by Mactan, sultan, and Tagalog tribe. Not until the spanish colonization in year 1500 they completely controlled and conquered us. In year 1800 the first filipino revolution has established mostly started by Tagalog Tribe or Tondo tribe. Government system only happened in year 1898 we are still under control by the USA because we are sold by the spanish government to the USA.


So those freaking Chinese are dreaming because most of Filipino are Sea travelers and trader. We trade silver, gold, materials, goods, and more.

The 9 dash line drawing of Vachina is funny and the kindergarten can draw well.

[kayak]

If china claims it by history, then mongolia can claim china by history.

[tonshingwa-rj]

Naturally china will be angry simply because the Philippines will never give them an inch of Philippine territory 😅😅

Why the UN didn't do nothing of the 2countries quarreling in the WPS/SCS?
