We want to normalize civilian missions to WPS — Emman Hizon of Atin Ito
Manage episode 422386717 series 2910470
No one sees an end soon to the standoff in the West Philippine Sea. But organizers of the recent civilian missions to Philippine waters claimed by China want to see more of the same by people from various walks of life, helping unite Filipinos around a common assertion of sovereignty. Emman Hizon, co-convenor of the Atin Ito coalition, tells Howie Severino that maybe Filipinos can even finally jet ski there.
Hizon says that the WPS issue has shifted public opinion on China, fueling the rise of a new Filipino nationalism. Where nationalists in a previous era were allied with China, younger generations are seeing China as an adversary and the US as less of a threat. Producer: Aubrey Delos Reyes Researcher: Lilian Tiburcio Editor: Jayr Magtoto
