    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.

    Gov't urged: Keep pressing China for Panatag access
    Mangosing, Frances (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2022-10-17)
    The Philippine government should continue to work to ensure that Filipino fisherfolk would have unhindered access to Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal, according to a maritime law expert. “Negotiation should be for them to stop harassing/interfering with our fishing vessels. Our fishermen should be free to go in and out as needed,” Jay Batongbacal of the University of the Philippines’ Institute for Maritime Affairs and Law of the Sea told the Inquirer.
