Quite impressive aquisitions. However, let's hope the SCS problem can be settled peacefully without armed conflicts, i.e. acknowledge & respect the legally recognised territorial waters, and perhaps joint exploration of resourses.

Very interesting this photo.

With regards for one question, the island / Reef I circled with white, it essentially defined the border with Malaysia and make the "Sulu Sea" an internal sea for Phillipines. May I know when is that being settled? Pre-WWII, post-WWII-Pre-Brits-withdraw(Brits withdraw from Malaysia), or post-Brits-withdraw?
