A group advocating a more vigorous but peaceful assertion of the country’s rights over its territorial waters is preparing its third civilian-led sailing mission to the West Philippine Sea, tentatively in May. The Atin Ito Coalition said its West Philippine Sea mission will feature a “Peace and Solidarity Sea Concert” to unite fisherfolk, artists and advocates in peace, unity and national sovereignty. The coalition yesterday announced its coming activity at a press conference in Quezon City, attended by retired Supreme Court associate justice Antonio Carpio, Atin Ito co-convenor Edicio dela Torre, Kiko Aquino Dee, retired rear admiral Rommel Jude Ong and Akbayan party-list president Rafaela David.
