To bolster the Philippine claim over its territories in the West Philippine Sea, Akbayan Representatives Walden Bello and Kaka Bag-ao led the first-ever civilian mission to Pag-asa Island, Municipality of Kalayaan in the Spratly Archipelago. Joining the team were Ifugao Rep. Teddy Baguilat, Eastern Samar Rep. Ben Evardone, Kalayaan Mayor Jun Bito-onon, Palawan Governor Baham Mitra, AFP Western Command Commander Maj. Gen. Juancho Sabban, and a group of journalists. The mission followed reports of China's aggression against Filipino fishermen in the region, and reports of their attempt to construct infrastructure that would establish their dominance over Philippine territories.

  • Looks like a great economic opportunity for Lockheed, General Dynamics, Raytheon, et al., to sell some high-priced gear to Kalayaan -- just dredge a reef, throw in a few destroyer warships with Aegis missiles aimed at China, and it's win-win for everyone! (Except for the fish and the fisherpeople.) That will hold you until the rising tides swallow up these beautiful, low-lying islets.
