Government mulls environment case vs China over coralsSolicitor General Menardo Guevarra said yesterday that his office is in the “fact-finding and data gathering stage” in studying its legal options regarding issues on the West Philippine Sea. At a press conference, PFACI president Danilo Fausto said the country’s coral reefs are bigger compared to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. “We would like to strongly encourage the government to file a case, an environment case against those people who did this. The entire world should know what they are doing to our environment, to our coral reefs, to the future food of our people. “The South China Sea arbitration is legally binding international law, with its proceedings faithfully carried out in accordance with UNCLOS.
