“The recent occupation of Sandy Cay by Chinese forces is a blatant act of aggression and a gross violation of international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This highly provocative action serves only to escalate tensions in the West Philippine Sea and the broader South China Sea, further destabilizing the entire region.” – BAYAN MUNA Partylist 2nd nominee Atty. Carlos Ysagani Zarate
