Much later, when President Marcos realized that Cloma wanted to own the islands as his private property, he issued PD 1529 declaring the so-called Freedom Islands of Cloma shall form part of the Municipality of Kalayaan in the province of Palawan, it being the closest province.Long before the Spaniards and the Americans came, the Chinese have long been sailing into these islands.

Located south-east of the Mischief Reef, Second Thomas Shoal is near the center of Dangerous Ground in the northeastern part of the Spratly Islands; there are no settlements north or east of it.The coral rim surrounds a lagoon which has depths of up to 27 meters and is accessible to small boats from the east. Drying patches are found east and west of the reef rim.
