More Filipinos are likely to back calls for a more assertive government stand against China’s provocative activities in the West Philippine Sea, Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said on Friday. In an interview with “The Chiefs” on Cignal TV’s One News, Carpio reiterated his call for a more vigorous campaign to change the mindset of the Chinese that the West Philippine Sea does not belong to China. He also said that there are now bills pending in Congress pushing for the declaration of portions of the West Philippine Sea as a marine protected area.
