    Meet the Dragon Slayer. He is our lawyer in Philippines vs. China at the Hague. Very humble. He did not call a press conference to announce to the whole world that he is the greatest unlike some people.

    He received B.A., summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Tufts University in 1969 and J.D. (Juris Doctor), cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1973.

    Mr. Paul S. Reichler is a Partner and Co-Head, International Litigation and Arbitration Group at Foley Hoag LLP. Mr. Reichler is one of the world’s most respected and experienced practitioners of Public International Law, specializing for more than 25 years in the representation of Sovereign States in disputes with other States, and in disputes with foreign investors. He is elite lawyer with extensive experience litigating on behalf of Sovereign States before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea in Hamburg," (Chambers Global 2010). Among many other clients and cases, he was Counsel and Advocate for Nicaragua in the historic case of Nicaragua v. United States of America (from 1984 to 1986), regarding the illegal use of force in international relations, and for Uruguay in the landmark case of Argentina v. Uruguay (from 2006 to 2010), concerning international environmental protection and sustainable development. He has particular experience representing and advising Sovereign States in land and maritime boundary disputes with neighboring States, including Bangladesh in its maritime delimitation case against Myanmar before the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (since 2009); Nicaragua against Colombia in the International Court of Justice (since 2007); and Bangladesh against India (since 2009) and Guyana against Suriname (from 2004 to 2007) in international arbitrations brought under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. He served as Mediator, appointed by the Secretary General of the Organization of American States, in the land and maritime boundary dispute between Guatemala and Belize (from 2000 to 2002). He has also represented Sovereign States in disputes over transboundary environmental harm, including Ecuador against Columbia, as well as Uruguay against Argentina, before the International Court of Justice. He has successfully represented Sovereign States in disputes with foreign investors in the world’s principal arbitral forums, including the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), where his clients have included Ecuador, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Guyana, Venezuela and the Philippines. He has more than three decades of experience representing Sovereign States against foreign investors and other parties before the federal and state courts of the United States, and is one of the leading experts on litigation under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which he has invoked on behalf of sovereign clients to defeat lawsuits against them on grounds of immunity from suit. He has also served as Consultant to various international organizations, including the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the African Development Bank and the former United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations. He is included in the Lists of Arbitrators of the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes and the Arbitration Centre of Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). He received B.A., summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa from Tufts University in 1969 and J.D., cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1973.

    Yasay should be kicked out of the DFA.

    Walang ka kuwenta ang DFA press conference. Left many people wondering "WTF!!!"

    Now what?

    Are we sending paratroopers and amphibious troops to reclaim the islands?

    Maybe we should apologize then?

    It's so frustrating that some Filipinos (including the highest official) trivialize efforts to claim what is rightfully ours. Instead of figuring out ways on how to further our claims, they instead offer reasons on why those who are eager not do it.

    Should we go to war then? Definitely not! On the first place, President Duterte is the first one to mention about war. This is a perfect example of a "straw man argument".

    its probably because ayaw nila i provoke ang china when the decision was handed out. too much fanfare might affect the safety of Pinoys there, or might result in military 'moves' from CH, w/c would of course be disadvantageous saten.

    US, japan, india, australia navies will navigate south china sea because the tribunal decision affirms that most of that body of water is international water and not entirely chinese

    China released condemnation na, and allegations of corruption among the judges sa Hague. Also asserting they have the right to setup air defense zone, i think meaning lahat ng dadaan jan should seek/follow their protocol, not entirely sure.

    this 'kinda' validates yasay's muted response sa ruling. We all know public, official decisions, statements against the chinese will definitely anger them, and will escalate tensions even further. When you think napaka bully na nila, may i-le-level up pa pala ung pagiging bully nila, even the Chinese ambassador to the US making statements, definitely shots fired sa biggest ally naten.

    It was a victory for Pinas, but I read and agree that it was a defeat for Int'l law, because walang enforcement. there are now only 2 ways to deal, war or direct negotiations.

    I think we should hope for back channel negotiations to go well or 'mahiya' si China, being #2 biggest economy, that they will lose the support/popularity of other nations especially the powers, pag naging confrontational pa sila lalo. Well f#ck. gudlak LOL.

    Educate me, anyone know what's China's reason or proof that they own the WPS? Just read on the news na nag rally sila sa american Restaurant na KFC sa China. I was under the impression that the bully is only the Chinese government, pero it seems that even the people believe that they own our backyard.

    Ano paliwanag nila? What are they telling their citizens to convince them that they own our backyard?

    i read somewhere that the Chinese people were taught that the WPS was theirs, right when they were still kids, so they grow up with the notion that it's really theirs -- nothing quite like propaganda eh?. Plus, it's not in their best interest to say or think otherwise -- baka ipakulong pa sila for libel or some b.s. charge, plus sipsep pa sa government.


    And you never know, the guy who organized the "protests" could be G-men in plainclothes, stirring the pot to make it seem like there's real ground level support when the typical Chinese is too preoccupied trying to make a living because their government is scr*wing up.

    Yes, this is also what I heard. The reason I'm asking is because I just got into a small debate in fb with a Chinese about the issue. His logic is all over the place and he didn't even know that historical claim as the stand of his country.

    Interesting that the Chinese chose to vent their anger on iPhones and KFC outlets; i would've expected protests at the PH embassy, the Oishi factory(flying the PH flag), etc.

    Expected ko na ito, sa mga news kasi dito sa china ay US daw ang behind our protest sa hague, and nanalo daw tayo kasi bcoz na influence daw ng US ang mga judges sa Hague.
