The ‘Atin Ito’ coalition is aware of the risks attached to the expeditions it launched in the West Philippine Sea , but co-convenor Emman Hizon said they hope more civilians can go on these kinds of adventures without fearing for their safety.

“We went there to provide supplies and crude oil for our fishermen, but what met us was an armada, large blocking forces of Navy, Coast Guard and Militia vessels,” Hizon recalled, highlighting the intimidating presence of Chinese maritime forces.
