AS reported by The Manila Times, the Philippines will file environmental cases against China for its allegedly destructive activities in the part of the South China Sea (SCS) that the Philippines has claimed an exclusive economic zone, particularly in the Rozul Reef and Escoda Shoal, before the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA).
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said, 'We will pursue these cases against China since we already have a lot of evidence.
' Remulla is in discussions with Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on this matter. At the same time, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra confirmed the plan to file charges against China before the PCA.
