Filipinos from different parts of the world demonstrated their unity and solidarity with one another as the global protest against Chinese incursions in Panatag Shoal kicks off today, Akbayan Party said on Friday in a press statement.
Organized by a coalition of different advocacy groups and social movements, the protest activity dubbed as the "global day of action against China's bullying in the West Philippine Sea", is the largest demonstration so far of different Filipino groups calling on the Chinese government to pull out of the Panatag shoal.
At the Chinese Consular Office in Makati, site of the Philippine protest, participants to the "global action" demanded China “to immediately pull out all of its sea vessels in the area" asserting that Panatag shoal is an integral part of Philippine territory.
