Philippines has maps since the 1500's. China just made up their own map in recent years.

[veriaprijal]

China claims Natuna based on their historical history, so can we Indonesia claim half of Asia based on our historical history?

[wohh]

China based their claims historically.
Mongolia: *inhales*

China: "We have discovered a map made by a 4 year old thousands of years ago with a drawing of the solar system with the name of our country on it so therefore the solar system is ours"

Scarborough and Spratly are inseparable part of the Philippines

[tengteng]

Spratlys and Scarborough in south China Sea were traditional fishing grounds of the FILIPINOS... inalienable part of the Philippines since ancient times... The Philippines has the strongest claim but has the weakest military to assert her claim that is why other claimant countries took advantage in partitioning the islands rightfully belong to Philippines

I learned it ima kid my teacher say CHINA IS STEALING Spratly Island Philippines owned that Island

[echo.echo]

To those who are misinformed, it IS called the South China Sea, NOT the West Philippine Sea. The West Philippine Sea is a REGION of the South China Sea just like the Arabian Sea is a region of the Indian Ocean. West Philippine Sea is the region that belongs to the Philippines.

[iamsmartzed]

Smaller South East Asian countries must bind together to fight the Goliath Bully.
