    Japan, China trade barbs on WPS; PCG: Coral reef damage 'extensive'
    Requejo, Rey; Lopez, Vince; Ramos-Araneta, Macon (Philippine Manila Standard Publishing, Inc., 2023-09-19)
    Japan on Monday raised concern over the extensive maritime damage in waters frequented by Chinese militia vessels in the West Philippine Sea, but China quickly shot back by denouncing Tokyo’s release of contaminated water from its Fukushima nuclear plant. The Japanese Embassy in Manila said the damage done to coral reefs, presumably by Chinese boats in Rozul (Iroquois) Reef was “very alarming news.” “Our oceans are the lifeblood of our plant, and coral reefs are its colorful heartbeat. Let’s preserve and protect these vital ecosystems for generations to come,” Japan’s Ambassador to the Philippines Koshikawa Kazuhiko said on his X social media account.

    Fernandez, Daniza; Go, Joshua (Panay News, Inc., 2022-11-24)
    A fishers’ group rejected on Tuesday further construction of United States (US) military bases in the Philippines and accused Vice President Kamala Harris of aiming to anger China with her visit. The Armed Forces of the Philippines said that the US is looking into building Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement facilities in five more locations throughout the archipelago. These additional sites are seen to bolster security cooperation between the two countries and provide extra protection for the Philippines.
