On Monday, a Chinese foreign ministry functionary doubled down on China’s ownership claim on WPS, saying China has sovereignty over Nansha, Chinese for the Spratlys or Kalayaan Group in the Philippines, and also Zhongye Island and Huangyan .
“We urge the relevant side to respect China’s sovereignty and rights and interests, and stop actions complicating the situation and escalating disputes,” said Wang, booed on social media for the statement.The Philippines bolstered its presence in its EEZ shortly after China assembled hundreds of militia vessels at Julian Felipe Reef, which is also inside Philippine EEZ, in what some analysts said was a looming invasion of the area.
The PCG sent BRP Gabriela Silang and BRP Sindangan to Panatag Shoal, while BRP Cabra , BRP Malapascua and a ship from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources were deployed to Pag-asa Island, which many fear would be China’s next target for occupation.The international arbitral ruling in The Hague in 2016 declared China’s mythical nine-dash claim to most of the South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea, as invalid and baseless.
Kaso bakit iba ang lumalabas sa bunganga ng amo nyo, wala daw tayong magagawa, nag uusap po ba kayo.

Word war is for kids, hawakan mo nga tenga kung matapang talaga ang AFP. Tapang tapangan kasi may balikqtqn with big bro US pero wala naman bayag like your boss na 🐢. 🤣
Baka stand up in attention while Duterte bows to Xi. Don't forget DND-AFP laid red carpet to China's spy facilities inside military camps while Duterte opened the country to Pogo PLA operatives.
Also, while we’re in this dialogue, why not send the whole PH fleet to the WPS? Total EEZ naman natin. Our allies will rally on our side.
Sus, friend kaya natin yan

It's a double speak to temper people's sentiment? Hope we, as country, are smart enough to pick up.
Is it a sincere statement, or just mere statement, because your pres said otherwise, are you guys really talking to each other.
