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. Scarborough Shoal (‘Bajo de Masinloc’ called by Filipino fishermen), a fishing haven shoal within the Philippine maritime territory that China occupied a decade ago, was recently reported to be driving away Filipino fishermen by Chinese coastguard ships.
