Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has issued a pressing call to the Philippine government to take immediate action against China over allegations of marine destruction in the highly contested Escoda (Sabina) Shoal.
In his recent appeal, Justice Carpio emphasized the urgency of filing a case against China to protect the country’s maritime rights and interests. He highlighted the need for swift and decisive action to prevent further environmental degradation and potential losses for Filipino fishermen.
As a prominent advocate for Philippine sovereignty, Justice Carpio has been instrumental in raising awareness about the nation’s territorial disputes with neighboring countries. His latest appeal is seen as a reminder of the importance of assertive legal action in safeguarding the country’s marine resources.
