China keeps making it worse with its feud with the Philippines in the case of the Spratly Islands they are claiming. In a recent post of the group Kalayaan ATIN ITO in their Facebook page, pictures of many dead fishes floated ashore in Pag-asa Island. According tot he group, China is trying to cripple not just the environmental capacity of the island but also the economic activities to drive away civilians, and keep the island to themselves. Rumors are, they plan to establish a military base in the islands.
In a video uploaded, it can be seen that the damage are already alarming. The ecosystem and the coral reefs are hugely disturbed and the livelihood of the Filipino Civilians have been down. China have been in feud with the country and a lot have been tried to ease off the tension between the two including diplomatic negotiations. But it has always been intimidation tactics that China has been using to scare us off.
Pag-asa Island is the only one inhibited by civilian Filipinos. They make living out of fishing. It has been occupied since 1970. With this, the group is earnestly waiting for the government to respond to certain concerns like welfare and livelihood of those affected by these hidden attacks.
