DFA says West PH Sea features, even with Chinese structures, are 'ours'

MANILA — The Department of Foreign Affairs on Thursday said features in the West Philippine Sea are "ours", even those with structures China built.

“[The area is] within our EEZ so it’s ours," Locsin said in a tweet. "The durability and vintage of the structures don’t matter. Ours." But the task force on Wednesday said 44 "Chinese maritime militia" vessels remained "moored, anchored, and stationary" at the Julian Felipe reef on Monday. I’ve flown over some of the artificial islands of China when they were still being built. So see them now, completed, is both chilling and sobering.

"They may be doing illicit activities at night and their lingering presence may cause irreparable damage to the marine environment due to marine pollution and destruction of coral reefs. Their swarming also poses a threat to the peaceful exercise of sovereign rights of the Philippines in its EEZ.

ours sa ngaun, pagkalipas ng ilang buwan, tignan natin kung 'ours' pa ba yan! cge hayaan nyo lng ang China hanggang masakop na Pilipinas

Chinese vessels get out

Ang lapit na talaga ng elections 2022 , nag-iiba na yung script nila. 🤡🤡🤡

Ha!

Ano yun renting free?

Busy pa sa pangmamanyak ang tatay. Kaya wala sy pakialam dyan

Lip Service

Hahahahahahahah then sasabihin 'wala taung panama sa China' which is true. Kaya lang.. looks like too late na eh...

If ours, what are you doing right now?

We need proof na sa atin pa yan, wag puro ebas.

This was a battle of inches. It was not built over night. We allowed it. If we remain silent, they will literally be at our doorstep.

may boarding house na pala tayo di nyo sinasabe jusko

gago!!!! mga inutil!! mga studyante at nga aktibista lang kaya nyo mga duwag

Baka talaga

They say that those belong to the country. However, the way they neglect it and just let China do what it wants on those areas make it seem that it doesn't.

How can they say its ours if its going to be covered with Chinese artificial Islands? Act before its to late DutertePalpak

Weh! Talaga?

どうした何もしないのかフィリピン

We're like a kid staring at a bully eating the lunch they stole from us, saying 'that's my lunch' Claiming things without the power to enforce those claims ain't shit. If we had generations of heavy military spending, maybe we couls have actually defended these reefs.

Stop fooling yourselves na atin yan. Susko. Di tanga ang mga taong bayan.

Eh diba ecq bat nasa himpapawid sila? Hustisya naman po🙄

matagal na yan silang nagtayo diyan, nilaban yan ng previous admin sa international tribunal at nanalo tayo, pero dahil sa kakasamba ng pangulo ngayon sa knila, mas lumakas na ang loob nilang angkinin yan. Prang na sakop na tlga nila tayo kasi wala tayong magawa😅

April fools joke ba yan

Pinatayo lang ng China para gamitin ng Pilipino—-in your dreams 🤣🤣🤣 Lets leave the battle for Vietnam. PH lost.

Alam nating lahat na sa atin yan. Ang tanong pano sila mapapaalis at pano mapapakinabangan ang lugar.

its like your land being occupied by illegal settlers - the Law is useless

Pls assert your claims to the Chinese Govt. hindi ung dito lang kayo nagra-rant ng ganyan. Presidente nyo umaming inutil sya pagdating sa ganyang usapin. Sana kayong DFA at AFP hindi.
