The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS) has voiced strong support for reef rehabilitation efforts around Pag-asa Island, emphasizing the urgency of restoring coral ecosystems damaged by recent maritime incidents. The task force highlighted environmental protection as a critical part of national interest, particularly in disputed areas where marine biodiversity faces increasing threats.
This initiative aligns with broader efforts by the Philippine government to assert sovereignty through ecological conservation and sustainable resource management in the West Philippine Sea.
