ABOUT 93 percent of Filipinos want the Philippines to regain control of the West Philippine Sea (WPS or South China Sea), including the islands being occupied by China, according to the latest survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS).

In this photo provided by the Philippine Coast Guard, a Chinese Coast Guard ship is seen while American and Philippine coast guards conduct joint search and rescue and capability-building exercises off South China Sea on Tuesday, May 14, 2019 west of the Philippines. Captain John Driscoll, commanding officer of the U.S. Coast Guard National Security Cutter Bertholf (WMSL 750), told reporters Wednesday, May 15, 2019, two Chinese Coast Guard ships were spotted off the South China Sea while they were conducting the joint exercise with Philippine Coast Guard.
