Hontiveros visits disputed Pagasa island

Senator Risa Hontiveros visits Pagasa (Thitu) Island, one of Manila's tiny possessions in the disputed South China Sea, on February 21, 2026. The island is home to about 400 Filipinos, mostly fishermen and their families, who China accuse of living there illegally. It lies about 450 kilometers (280 miles) west of Palawan within the disputed Spratly island chain, a group of more than 700 islets, reefs and atolls believed to sit above vast natural resources.
