epa11344332 Filipino volunteers from the civilian-led relief mission ‘Atin Ito!’ (It’s Ours!) coalition distribute relief goods to fishermen aboard a motorized wooden boat on the waters of the disputed South China sea, on 16 May 2024. A civilian-led mission joined by at least a hundred fishermen embarked on Scarborough Shoal in the disputed South China Sea to assert the Philippines' territorial claim. The Scarborough Shoal, also known as Bajo de Masinloc, is a fishing ground within the Philippine maritime territory that was occupied by the Chinese a decade ago. Recently, there have been reports that Chinese coast guard ships are driving away Filipino fishermen from the area. EPA/FRANCIS R. MALASIG
