Private individuals and embassy personnel from Japan and Sweden are expected to join the second civilian mission to the West Philippine Sea on May 14 to 17, its organizer Atin Ito Coatition said Wednesday.“For now, we have some guests from the embassy joining the convoy and a handful of people joining the guests,” Atin Ito co-convenor and Akbayan president Rafaela David said in a press conference.
Despite China’s recent water cannon attacks in the area, Atin Ito said the civilian mission will proceed.“China's water cannon attacks in the West Philippine Sea is a broken philosophy. They are not getting the desired results. On the contrary, they only nourish Filipino resolve in the WPS,” David earlier said.Bajo de Masinloc is a place of tension between the Philippines and China.
