In review of the recent statement of the DFA regarding our position on handling the situation with China for the possible moves of the ASEAN regarding this matter. The interpretation can mainly be viewed as irregular than expected with respect to the illegal acts of China in its claims in the south China Sea.
Primarily, the actions of China should be put in question instead by the ASEAN due to her actions of taking possession and ownership of the entire China Sea, is primarily illegal, contrary and destructive to parties involved with better right. China has militarized all the zones in her self-claimed nine dash line that has affected navigation and fishing of countries who has legal access.
If there are topics for discussion of the ten member countries about China, it must be about its loss in the Hague Tribunal ruling. It's island building, militarization and forbidding others to fish in the region where it is rightfully theirs as declared by Hague ruling favoring the Philippines, and similarly for others.
The surprising event today is that our officials seems not to know that there was island reclamation undergoing committed by China today, which was disputed as false information issued after the statement. As a government, the intelligence gathering level about China's reclamation in the area should be first hand to them before issuance's of statements so as to become direct and accurate on the mater.
Better, we should ask for the unity of the ASEAN member countries to stand against the bully and claims of china over the china sea and respect the Hague ruling. that is to become agent in international community to put everything in order and in compliance of the law.
