in my opinion,
if it's just tubig,
why are the chinese so hell bent on controlling it?
in the pacific war of WWII,
while the west initially saw the oceans as obstacles or barriers to overcome,
the japanese saw it as highways to exploit.

Opinion | South China Sea doesn’t have to define Sino-Philippine relations | South China Morning Post
The upshot is a perilous “security dilemma” dynamic, with each side inadvertently escalating tensions by ostensibly acting in self-defence. Instead, both sides should consider the following quid pro quo confidence-building measures:
On its part, the Marcos administration can recalibrate the parameters of the EDCA, namely the size and nature of America’s military presence in the northern Philippine provinces. It should also reconsider granting the Pentagon access to strategic bases, including in Mavulis near Taiwan or Thitu Island in the Spratlys, while reassessing any plans to grant Japanese troops rotational access to Philippine military facilities.
This could go hand in hand with the relocation and reorientation of some of the major Philippine-US military drills near the South China Sea and Taiwan.
On its part, China has to accept the reality that the Dutertes are no longer in power and that any conventional Filipino president is in no position to compromise on core sovereign interests. After all, most Filipinos, along with the US-trained defence elite, favour a strong stance in the South China Sea in tandem with allies.
As the far weaker party, it’s natural for the Philippines to be wary of directly dealing with China without help from partners. After decades of neglecting its military, the Philippines is eager to expedite its defence modernisation programme and strengthen its strategic position, hence its assertive stance in the disputed waters.
Thus, Beijing should refrain from aggressive tactics in the South China Sea, which only reinforce anti-China sentiments, push Manila into Washington’s embrace and risk a region-wide armed conflict.
Dapat siguro tandaan ng bansang CHINA WUHAN VIRUS na noong panahon na mahina sila, mas malakas at maykakayahan tayo at nandyan pa ang mga base militar ng estados unidos, hind binubully o pinag babawal ng Pilipina ang mga mangigisda nila. Hindi rin natin inangkin ang WPS o pinaalis ang sino mang mayu gustong mamingwit doon.
Ang tanging inaangkin ng Pilipinas naman at karapat dapat lang ay ang isla ng Pag-asa. Walang ni-reclaim o sinira o binago ang Pilipinas sa mga sandbar, shoals, bato, o atoll sa dagat na yun.
