The Cost for the Damage in Marine Wealth of West Philippine Sea Has to be Settled

There’s a change of approach from Risa Hontiveros as China needs to pay for the harm it caused and the marine abundance it took from the West Philippine Ocean which she said now adds up to P800 billion.

Referring to information distributed by worldwide diary Environment Administrations a year ago, Hontiveros said the assessed estimations of reefs obliterated by China in Philippine waters is presently up to P231.7 billion

The worth per coral reef was fixed at P18 million, and this sum was duplicated by 1,850 hectares of reef biological systems in Panatag and Spratlys that have been harmed by China. In view of this, some P644 billion worth of plundered fish get since 2014, referring to insightful writer Jarius Bondoc.

In an assessment segment recently, Bondoc shared China has taken as much as P9.72 trillion in Philippine sea riches. Referring to previous International concerns Secretary Albert del Rosario, Hontiveros noticed that the job of 350,000 fisherfolk has been antagonistically influenced because of China’s quality in Philippine waters.

Along with this, Hontiveros approached China to take care of everything of the Philippines’ pandemic reaction by paying reparations for its dangerous action in the West Philippine Ocean. At that point, she put the estimation of China’s obligation at P200 billion. Sen. Richard Gordon gave a comparative call two months after the fact.

The Chinese International safe haven in the Philippines called Hontiveros’ requests ludicrously crazy and reckless. Yet, Hontiveros tossed the expression back at them, saying it is even more ridiculous and flippant that Beijing kept on abusing Philippine sway in the locale in a worldwide pandemic.

Morever, China has since quite a while ago wouldn’t recognize an arbitral decision that nullified its cases over the asset rich West Philippine Ocean, the piece of the South China Ocean inside the Philippines’ selective monetary zone
