Sa kaso ng Spratly Islands, nadiskubre ito ng abogadong si Tomas Cloma at inangkin, at kalaunan ay isinuko ang pagmamay-ari sa pamahalaang Pilipino.<br><br>May mga pamilyang Pilipino na kasalukuyang naninirahan sa KIG, na isang bayan sa Palawan na binisita ni Lacson noong 2021.<br><br>Samantala, masakit para kay Lacson na panoorin ang matagal at mainit na debate sa plenaryo ng Senado noong Lunes hinggil sa usapin ng teritoryal na alitan ng Pilipinas at China sa West Philippine Sea.<br><br>Aniya, mahirap isipin na may ganitong sitwasyon sa alinmang lehislatura sa mundo, kung saan pinagtatalunan ng mga mambabatas ang mga isyung may kinalaman sa teritoryal na integridad ng sariling bansa\u2014isang usapin na dapat ay nagkakaisa ang lahat ng Pilipino.<br><br>\u201cIt was painful to watch a heated plenary debate on the issue of territorial integrity and other related matters involving another country and our own. It is hard to imagine that it can happen in the US Senate or any parliament in the world,\u201d ani Lacson sa kanyang post sa X noong Lunes ng gabi.<br><br>Noong Lunes, pinagtibay ng Senado ang Resolution 256 na kumokondena sa mga pahayag ng mga diplomat ng China laban sa mga opisyal at institusyong Pilipino na nagtatanggol sa pambansang soberanya.<br><br>Gayunman, nangyari ito matapos ang halos tatlong oras na debate sa pagitan ng may-akda ng resolusyon na si Sen. Francis Pangilinan at Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, na iginiit na mali ang paggamit ni Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea Commodore Jay Tarriela ng isang caricature na naglalarawan kay Chinese President Xi Jinping.<br><br>Sa tindi ng naging palitan, kinailangan ni Lacson, bilang presiding officer noon, na suspendihin ang sesyon nang dalawang beses.<br><br>Bago pa ang debateng iyon, nagpahayag na rin ng pagtutol si Marcoleta sa naturang resolusyon.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ni Ernie ReyesBukod sa walang saysay, ang debateng iminungkahi ni Sen.
