the Philippine mainstream media,” Manila Standard Today News “recently published a signed article,” It belongs to China “, pointed out that Huangyan Island since ancient times belong China’s territory.

mainstream media of the Philippines Manila Standard Today News recently published a signed article, “It belongs to China”, pointed out that Huangyan Island since ancient times the Chinese territory, the historical data as evidence, without a doubt.

authors Victor A Qisi (Victor N. The Arches II) from the Philippines Magazine Fan City, was an investor, accountant and economist, well versed in history and politics.

author in the article pointed out that Huangyan Island does belong to China, as early as 1279 during the Yuan Dynasty, China has been found that Huangyan Island and included in the map. Chinese fishermen from the mainland or in Taiwan, has been fishing in the Huangyan Island waters. GuoShouJing (Yuan Dynasty Kublai Khan during the reign of the Chinese astronomer, engineer and mathematician) had on the South China Sea surveying and mapping, surveying and mapping points as part of the Dongsha Islands, the Huangyan Island.

contrast, rely on “old” map for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines, fraudulently claim to have the same waters, but was drawn in 1820, 541 years later than China. Therefore, the author said he was surprised by Philippine Senator Edgardo the Angara (or well-known lawyer allegedly) even openly declared a 541 years later than China maps, can explain more priority on the question of attribution in the Huangyan Island, the Philippines, or persuade force.

And, more alarming is that Father Joaquin Bernas (Philippines 1987 Constitution one of the drafters), in another newspaper on April 22, 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea Convention as the basis for his defense of the Philippine territory. But the article also acknowledged that “the provisions of the Treaty of Paris Philippine territory including the Huangyan Island. This is how contradictory statements?

article stated, then in the hands of the American colonists declared independence in 1946, the territory of the Philippines, what exactly? Why 1899,1935,1943,1973,1986 and 1987, successive constitutions, the Philippines, none claim to sovereignty over the Huangyan Island? What from where, from whom the beginning, we suddenly got these islands? How come out of nothing?

article pointed out, on a late 1970s, China has organized a number of scientific investigation in the Huangyan Island and the surrounding areas. 1980 set a monument in South Ledge, and marked: scientific expedition in the South China Sea. In 1997, this mark without permission, the Philippines cleared.

article said, until the nineties of the last century, none of the Philippines official map issued by the Huangyan Island is zoned within the territorial scope. In 1961, Parliament approved by Republic Act 3046 to prevent the Philippine side to the sound cable to the islands. However, 48 years later, on March 10, 2009, the Philippine side to lightly modify a decree unilaterally declared sovereignty over these disputed islands.

article said, the undeniable fact is that there are three international treaties to support the Chinese sovereignty over those islands. They are: the 1898 Mei Xi Bali Treaty, the 1900 Spanish-American Washington Treaty of 1930 Anglo-American Treaty, they are the territorial boundaries of the Philippines is limited to 118 degrees east longitude line.

authors conclude that, the Philippine sound cable is only based on the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. To my knowledge, only a “Covenant not to overthrow or replace a treaty signed between the colonists or the agreement reached. Even, even if it really was as an effective “legal”, it can not with retrospective effect and change the facts. Therefore, we fool who? (Yang Mu)
