Zamora (Subi) Reef, once recognizable from a distance with only a small bunker and a lighthouse, is now highly visible from the Philippines’ Pag-Asa island as China begins building large structures on what is now an artificial island and potential military base. “Aside from ships and buildings at Subi, China has completed construction of a long runway on their man-made island,” Bito-onon said when told about Beijing’s announcement that it was wrapping up its reclamation activities in the disputed region. Bito-onon said there was no way to verify if China was telling the truth.
