People Protest Against Chinese Intrusions In The Philippines' Waters

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - JUNE 12: Filipinos hold placards with images of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and China's President Xi Jinping as they mark Independence day with a protest against continued Chinese intrusions in Philippine waters, outside the Chinese Embassy on June 12, 2021 in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. Local fishermen have expressed disappointment at Philippines lackluster stance on its claim of the West Philippine Sea waters against China's incursion, and continue to legally fish as long as they can. Prior to Duterte's presidency, the Philippines won a landmark case against China in 2016, which invalidated the the China's claims in the South China Sea within the country's 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone.
