The Philippines' bilateral dispute with China over the shoal began on April 30, 1997 when Filipino naval ships prevented Chinese boats from approaching the shoal.
1997 – Philippines begins to challenge Chinese sovereignty over the Scarborough Shoal.
because after that incident, both countries decided not to send ships to Scarborough Shoal and other parts of EEZ, as an agreement, as a peaceful resolution, but china did not cooperate, and continue, that is the reason why we file a case at UNCLOS.
Dyan ba talaga nag umpisa o dito?
bacause this is supposed to be settled, in the first bilateral talk of china and the philippines,but china did not cooperate. and continue, that is why i disregard this one.
Pero pagkakaalam ko Pinas ang unang nagpadala ng Navy natin para mang aresto ng mga Illegal Fishers ng China. Kung ganito pala dapat noon pa nasa war na ang China at Pilipinas.
because they already had chinese navy's in the shoal with their chinese fishing boat, and drive away our own fishermen. that is why we send our navy ship, so who send the navy first?CHINA
1997 when Filipino naval ships prevented Chinese boats from approaching the shoal
because it is part of our EEZ, same reason why chinese are giving us a call to stay away from those island, during the recent flight going to Pag-asa island.
who's navy came first within our EEZ?Chinese boats approaching the shoal, our EEZ is 200 nautical miles, scarbourough shoal 140 nautical miles.
