Title: SPRATLY ISLANDS DOCUMENTARY - WHY CHINA WANTS THE ISLANDS FROM PHILIPPINES PART 1 OF 3 View count: 2523 Rating: 4.2 (5 ratings) Description: The Spratly Islands are a group of more than 650 reefs,[1] islets, atolls, cays and islands in the South China Sea between the Philippines and Vietnam. They comprise less than five square kilometers of land area, spread over more than 400,000 square kilometers of sea. The Spratlys, as they are called, are part of the three archipelagos of the South China Sea, comprising more than 30,000 islands and reefs and which so complicates geography, governance and economics in that region of Southeast Asia. Such small and remote islands have little economic value in themselves, but are important in establishing international boundaries. There are no native islanders but there are rich fishing grounds and initial surveys indicate the islands may contain significant oil and gas. About 45 islands are occupied by relatively small numbers of military forces from People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Brunei has established a fishing zone that overlaps a southern reef but has not made any formal claim. There will be an election in 2010. It will be your only opportunity to make drastic reforms in Philippines by voting the right person for President. It is important that you research and review the candidates. Know their history and how they performed while in the public office. What have they done to stop corruption? You have only one vote. Make it worth our country. Remove those who you believe do not meet the most important requirements. Remember, if you make an informed decision, regardless of who you pick, you are not throwing your vote away.
