Gov't mulls environment case vs China over corals
Excerpt
The Philippines is considering filing a new complaint against China before an international tribunal following the reported harvesting and destruction of corals in the disputed West Philippine Sea. Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra said yesterday that his office is in the “fact-finding and data gathering stage” in studying its legal options regarding issues on the West Philippine Sea. “We shall evaluate the merits of each and every legal option, including the possible filing of a new complaint against China before an international tribunal,” he told The STAR in a text message. “These matters require a lot of prudence and circumspection in view of their potential impact on our national interests.”
