Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio on Tuesday urged the government to sue China anew, this time for damages due to the destruction of Escoda Shoal and Rozul Reef.
"The next arbitration case that we are recommending is for the following purposes: one, to sue China for damages kasi sinira nila yung Escoda Shoal tsaka Rozul Reef," Carpio said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB, stressing that the two features are within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone .
The DOJ, however, has yet to provide an update on its recommendation.Joint patrolsCarpio, who was part of the Philippine delegation in the 2013 arbitration case against China, said the government should also conduct joint patrols with the United States and other like-minded states to protect the West Philippine Sea."Kasi kapag hindi natin bantayan ‘yan, papasok ‘yung mga maritime militia at magtatayo sila ng panibagong isla diyan," Carpio said.
