Ayungin is ours

[Stranagor]

(UPDATE) DECLARING that "Ayungin Shoal is ours," the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Thursday blasted China for "continuing to ignore the Philippines' legal ownership" of the shoal, which is in the country's exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

"China continues to ignore the Philippines' legal ownership of our EEZ over Ayungin Shoal; they continue to assert ownership of the area. We are not competing, this is not disputed as far as the Philippine government is concerned. It's ours," PCG spokesman for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tarriela said during a briefing.

By international law, the Philippines has jurisdiction over all natural resources within its 200-mile EEZ.

You can't claim land territory via the sea (EEZ). It's always the other way around, by owning land territory can you claim the surrounding sea. When the land territory has already been claimed, be it island, reef, or even LTE, the surrounding water cannot be your EEZ.
