The Philippines claims the northeastern section of the Spratly Islands as the Kalayaan Island Group, in addition to the Scarborough Shoal it calls Bajo de Masinloc, 120 nautical miles from the Luzon shoreline and is clearly within the Philippines’ 200-mile exclusive economic zone, and is 594 nautical miles from China’s Hainan island.
Teodoro said the National Maritime Council “will consider these things…this continuous pattern that China will do against us…this continuous struggle for presence and for assertion of sovereign rights in the area so you will have to expect these things to happen.”
