Beijing claims grounded Philippine warship has damaged coral reefs at disputed shoal
Beijing has released findings claiming that a Philippine warship grounded in the South China Sea is causing grave damage to the surrounding coral reef. The report cited data from a "remote sensing" and field investigation around the Second Thomas Shoal on which the Sierra Madre is beached. The probe found that high concentrations of heavy metals and oils discharged from the vessel had hurt the health of coral. The report proposed the removal of the Philippine warship, whose presence has long been considered "illegal" by China. Olivia Siong reports from Beijing.

BRP Sierra Madre is intentionally aground in Ayungin Shoal to prevent the chinese to destroyed that area and build artificial island, there is also an attemp to put artificial island at Sabina Shoal they already destroyed the coral reefs.

Or that my “mother” works in a massage parlour in Shanghai and my “father” works in a scam call centre in North Myanmar. And that being Sinophobic is good for “truth” & “freedom”.

The Philippines is an archipelago. We have lots of fishing grounds in between the 7,641 islands. We have the vast PHILIPPINE SEA in the eastside of Luzon, the Bicol Region, Samar, Leyte, and Surigao del Norte and del Sur. The Philippine Sea is very much broader and wider in area than the South China Sea. We even have the CELEBES SEA south of Mindanao. We are so blessed by God, our Almighty Father, to have these natural resources. Why should we break our good ties with China? Have we forgotten that majority of Filipinos have Chinese blood ancestry?
