  “The award is non-negotiable,” Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin said in a statement on Sunday. He was commemorating the fourth anniversary of a Permanent Court of Arbitration’s decision which ruled China had no historic right to resources within the seas falling within its ‘nine-dash line’.
  
  Locsin on Sunday also called on China to comply with the award, which he said is a victory for the Philippines and other law-abiding nations. His statement comes weeks after Vietnam and the Philippines, in a regional summit, raised concerns about repeated violations of maritime rules amid growing grievances with China over its territorial claims.
  Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte last year said he would ignore the 2016 court ruling in order to advance oil exploration plans with Beijing.

It's 0.1% of South China Sea area Philippines are complaining.
It will be a good bargain on condition if Philippines remove USA bases. And will not be part of US ally

We need to understand China claim and why China is doing it .

As per China from 1850s to 1950s it was century of numerous defeats of China by West. And west took every thing from China. Honkong 1897 and then Taiwan 1949, west has no right to take china's area.

China is just claiming it back what was theirs.
