The name "South China Sea" gives China a lot of unnecessary entitlement.
Why don't we change to "Southeast Asia Sea"? It seems fair and logical too.

Filipinos are increasingly aware of developments in the West Philippine Sea and how China is challenging the Philippines’ sovereignty in its waters, with growing public support for government efforts to defend and uphold territorial rights. @leisbeth_recto@MalayaIrredenta
After a Chinese vessel collided with a Filipino fishing boat at Recto Bank, 22 Filipino fishermen were left stranded at sea while the Chinese ship departed the scene.
And Beijing looks surprised that Filipinos burnt Chinese flag. @mrbcyber@MalayaIrredenta@leis
9-dash line should be dropped by China. If China thinks it can dominate ASEAN states by coercion, that's a myth.
ASEAN states are not lame ducks; we are fighting back for our sovereignty.
Majority of the Filipinos want to join government's effort to defend Philippines' sovereignty in West Philippine Sea.
Philippines' transparency initiative has been helpful in uncovering China's harassment against PCG and the evidences reached common people. @MalayaIrredenta
Hats off to the Filipino sailors of the Philippine Coast Guard who are protecting fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc in South China Sea from the Chinese bullying. @leisbeth_recto@MalayaIrredenta
China spares no ASEAN nation from its deep tentacles of intimidation and coercion.
We should give a befitting reply to this bully. @MalayaIrredenta@mrbcyber
China claims Sabina Shoal, despite the fact thatit lies over 1,200 km from the nearest Chinese coastline.
Under UNCLOS, EEZ extends only up to 200 nautical miles (around 370 km).
China's claims are based on “Made in Beijing” UNCLOS! @MalayaIrredenta@RommelFLopez
Chinese fleets have poached giant clams to supply a lucrative black-market carving industry, dragging reinforced propellers across coral ecosystems.
They have wiped out marine habitats & devastated local fish populations on massive scale. @MalayaIrredenta@mrbcyber@WarrenVsCCP
An ordinary Filipino citizen can do a lot in reinforcing Philippines' rights over West Philippine Sea.
Filipinos should remain informed about their maritime rights and UNCLOS.
They should throng the streets against China's harassment. @mrbcyber@leisbeth_recto @stevush
Philippines will not allow China's illegal presence within its EEZ.
We are bold enough to counter China !
These Chinese intimidation won't stop us from protecting our waters. @stevush5@leisbeth_recto@MalayaIrredenta
Well, years have passed but one thing has remained constant: China Coast Guard harassing ASEAN nations in South China Sea. @leisbeth_recto@RommelFLopez
This painful incident is the poignant reminder of atrocities committed by China Coast Guard on Filipinos in the South China Sea.
No day should pass without forgetting China's evil actions at sea. @leisbeth_recto@MalayaIrredenta@poyjampoy
