The Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it is on track to file an environmental case against China for its alleged destruction in the West Philippine Sea within the next few weeks.
“We are confident that in a few weeks, the complaint and the attached evidence will be completed,” Clavano stated. He added that with the assistance of the Solicitor General, the Philippines aims to move forward with the case promptly. The push to hold China accountable gained momentum in September 2023, when Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla proposed legal action following reports from the Armed Forces of the Philippines Western Command about extensive coral harvesting along Rozul Reef.Adding to the urgency, retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has urged the government to include damages at Escoda Shoal in the complaint.
