You’re over reacting China! How can the visit of five Philippine Congressmen to an island (which is virtually part of Palawan) be something which concerns you? Pag-asa Island may be part of the Spratlys group of islands but it is a baranggay which is part of a Philippine province.

I agree…I think they don’t have the right to tell us what to do in our own territory. It’s as if they own everything in the West Philippine Sea. WTF
