Scarborough Shoal, 4 forgotten maps and Antonio Carpio

Former Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio's deep dive into forgotten maps reveals that Scarborough Shoal, currently occupied by China, has long been recognized as part of the Philippines' territory. Carpio's findings underscore the importance of historical evidence in territorial disputes and highlight the need for the Philippines to assert its sovereignty amid China's aggressive claims in the South China Sea. These revelations not only provide legal backing for the Philippines' stance but also emphasize the broader geopolitical implications of territorial integrity in the region.
