Filipino Authorities seized a Chinese fishing boat near Scarborough Shoal with over 500 critically endangered sea turtles illegally poached by Chinese fishermen.
Meanwhile, China says it plans to build a Marine Nature Reserve at Scarborough Shoal.
What a hypocrite China is!
Kaya gusto ng China manalo ang mga Duterte kasi nga naman sunod-sunuran sa kanila as in tuta ng China. Balik ang illegal POGO, Chinese druglords at gamblinglords.
Why is it always CHINA?
See how casually the China Coast Guard intrudes into the Philippines' lawful waters, threatening the Philippines sovereignty & literally h@rming its coast guard & local fishermen @SteveYates@WarrenPlatts@poyjampoy@rs015dbph @geotact
1 Bilyon 1 Building sa BGC, pero alam niyo ba ang pumasok na pera sa bangko ni #SaraDuterte ay umabot sa 6.7 Bilyon at alam niyo ba na may nakulong ng 11 years na dating principal dahil lamang sa ibinulsa ang halagang 5,000 pesos.
Philippines documents all the harassment that China does to us on daily basis still China denies all the wrong doings.
We should not stop exposing China's bullying. @MalayaIrredenta@leisbeth_recto
Beijing accuses us of “hyping.” Let us be precise about what actually happened. We observed a structure inside Bajo de Masinloc. We documented it, dated it, geolocated it, and released the aerial imagery to the public. That is not hype — that is transparency. And transparency is only threatening to the party that has something to hide.
To “hype” something is to exaggerate or invent it. We did neither. The imagery speaks for itself, and we put it in front of the Filipino people, the region, and the international community precisely so that no one has to take our word for it — or Beijing’s. The fact that China’s instinct is to attack the reporting rather than explain the structure tells you everything. What is irresponsible is not a coast guard doing its job and informing the public. What is irresponsible is the unilateral placement of structures in another country’s exclusive economic zone, in open defiance of the 2016 Arbitral Award — and then calling the act of documenting it a provocation.
And there is a reason we cannot simply accept Beijing’s description of these as “normal activities.” We have heard this before. When the People’s Republic of China first occupied Mischief Reef in 1995, it assured the world that the structures it was putting up were nothing more than shelters for its fishermen. Today, Mischief Reef is a fully militarized artificial island — runway, hangars, radar, missile capabilities — sitting squarely inside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone. The “fishermen’s shelter” was the cover story.
So when China waves away the structure at Bajo de Masinloc as “normal,” it is asking the region to forget its own record. That is precisely why these actions cannot be taken at face value.
If China genuinely wants to be believed, there is a simple way to show it: pull out. Remove the platform, halt the installation of buoys/communication towers, and respect the 2016 Arbitral Award and waters that are legally ours. Anything less only confirms the pattern — that China’s assurances at Bajo de Masinloc today are worth exactly what its word at Mischief Reef proved to be three decades ago.
The choice belongs to Beijing. It can preserve what little good faith the region and the international community still extend to it, or it can keep proving why that trust was misplaced to begin with.
BUSTED!
Taiwan Coast Guard caught a vessel with Chinese crew onboard carrying 1.9 kg of ketamine (drug) hidden as tea. China-linked vessels were also involved in illegal oyster theft& sand dredging in Taiwan waters.
Taiwan is facing growing security challenges in its own waters
I'm not pro-Marcos. I never voted for any Marcos, and I never will. Just remember that those statements are coming from his fellow 'UniThieves.' You're all cut from the same cloth, demons!

China's coast guard is harassing the Philippines.
China is doing everything it can be hated by the entire world. At this point almost all of their neighbors, including us here in Japan, hate them.
🚨THE BIGGEST BULLY—YET ALWAYS THE VICTIM? | A superpower with one of the world's largest economies, militaries, and maritime fleets keeps insisting it's the one being threatened.
But victims don't swarm waters with dozens of ships.
Victims don't block access to traditional fishing grounds.
Victims don't surround disputed features and call it "peace." Victims don't use overwhelming power and then claim persecution when others speak up.
The Philippines isn't asking for special treatment.
It is asking for the rules to apply equally.
Because no amount of pressure can change a simple fact:
The West Philippine Sea is not theirs to control.
🇵🇭 Stand with our fishermen.
🇵🇭 Stand with our frontliners.
🇵🇭 Stand for truth over intimidation.
A real superpower doesn't fear the facts.

CHINESE SPY SHIP RETURNS TO WATERS NEAR PHILIPPINE EEZ | A powerful Chinese intelligence and space-tracking vessel is once again operating near Philippine waters, prompting heightened monitoring by authorities and renewed concerns over Beijing's activities in the region. The Liao Wang 1, a 30,000-ton surveillance ship often described as a "floating supercomputer," has reportedly entered areas near the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) multiple times. Equipped with advanced radar systems, electronic surveillance equipment, and space-tracking technology, the vessel can reportedly monitor up to 1,200 air and missile targets within a 6,000-kilometer radius.
Officially tasked with tracking satellites, rockets, and missile launches, analysts say ships like Liao Wang 1 often operate in the gray zone between scientific research and strategic intelligence gathering.
Its presence comes amid continuing tensions in the West Philippine Sea, raising questions about what information is being collected and why these missions continue near Philippine maritime zones.
The Philippine Coast Guard remains vigilant, closely tracking foreign research and survey vessels to prevent unauthorized activities and protect the country's maritime interests.
As the giant surveillance ship patrols the region, many Filipinos are asking: What exactly is China watching—and why does it keep returning to waters near the Philippine EEZ?
Developing story.
