Should the Philippine government give up on the disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea? Why or
why not?

No, because those islands are still our property in our country and those islands are the reason
why our country is good like the others. Giving it up is like tossing a gold at the park full of
people. Every island gives our country a beautiful resemblance on how good our country’s
treasure about our nature and because of that so many foreigners are attracted to come and see
how good it is.
