Here is what they did, despite the Chinese chasing and telling them to “go back to the Philippines”.

From Kalayaan ATIN ITO –

To commemorate Philippine Independence Day, 15 Filipino youth volunteers and one US national volunteer sailed to Scarborough Shoal yesterday. We reached Bajo de Masinloc at 7:30this morning.

Our fishing boat was initially intercepted by two Chinese coast guard speed boats. After a few minutes, the mother ship and two big boats arrived. They ordered us to go back to the Philippines. The standoff lasted for four hours.

At 11 AM, five of us attempted to swim to the rock to plant the Philippine flag and United Nations flag but they harassed us. They chased us with their two speed boats and blocked our path, sprayed water on us using the propeller of the boat. The harassment was caught on video, this lasted for an hour.

Two of the swimmers however were able to reach the ring of the shoal and raised the Philippine flag.

At 12:30 noon time, we decided to leave the area. The Chinese coast guard mother ship escorted our boat out. We are on our way back to Masinloc, Zambales. Expected time of arrival is 3 am tomorrow.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Years ago, some Filipinos also planted a flag on the same shoal. See photo below –

I can’t wait to see the video that the Filipino volunteers took of their encounter with the Chinese coast guard.

        Nauto na naman ang mga Filipino ng mga tsino…ninakawan na nga! gusto pang pagahasa. Bakit pa kayo aasa sa china. ang Palawan lang ang may oil rig sa Pilipinas anong teknic sa economy ng Palawan ang ituturo nila maging kumunista. Balang araw NPA na ang Palawan, ubos ang oil nyo at gas pag nagsimula na silang sumipsip sa Spratley..Mukhang kabaliktaran ang resulta ng mga pahayag ni President Duterte. Nag pasalamat pa kay Pnoy dahil naipanalo sa Hague…Okey yung sabi nya di tayo puedeng makipag giyera sa tsina, pero sana iparandam sa China na galit tayo.

        Galit si Presidente sa mga NPA Sige kung ayaw nyo ng Peace talk giyera na tayo, pagkatapos ayon
        pinalaya na sila Tiamzon.. Diyos ko sabi nga ni Nora Aunor “Wala! Walang Himala!!!

    may magbago sana.
    kanina sa program ni Ted Failon kanyang inungkat ang pakinabang ng bansa sa mga minahan sa bansa.
    ang ating parte: tumataginting na 2%, base raw iyan sa datos.
    inakupo, halos mumo lang pala ang inililimos sa atin ng industriyang iyan!

    maganda sigurong bulatlatin ang mga kontrata natin sa mga mining firms.
    alamin kung sinu-sino ang mga nagsulong, nagpanukala, sumang-ayon at pumirma sa mga kasunduan.

    For the past few days, Marco’s camp must have smiles on their faces, certainly this is bad news to them.

      really a bad news to them that Lim of comelec resigns because of 4-3 decision. isa sya sa 3 (andres bautista at i forgot the name of the other one) na ayaw bigyan ng extension ang lp.

          @moonie, curious lang po. Ano yung ‘two to go’?

          wishful thinking ko lang po yan. nagbitiw si lim, I was hoping na yong dalawa who voted no with lim at ayaw din magbigay ng extension, ay magbitiw din.

          Ah ok. Di ko sila maintindihan tungkol diyan sa SOCE na yan. They allowed the extension in 2010 pero ngayon bakit nagiging big deal?
