For everyone who is not a Filipino, I present the facts:
The Spratly Islands were disputed between France and the Republic of China in the 1930s. Japan invaded the islands and after the Japanese were defeated, the Republic of China was designated to receive the Japanese surrenders in the Spratlys at the end of WW 2 in 1945. The Republic of China then established garrisons on the islands in 1945 before Vietnam was even an independent country. The Republic of China (Taiwan) has the oldest military presence and claims on the islands. The American colony known as the Philippines did not claim the Spratly islands or even take notice of them before independence in 1946. After independence, the Filipino Tomas Cloma suddenly claimed he "discovered" the already occupied Spratly islands, and based on this claim the Marcos government in the Philippines (the butcherer of tens of thousands of Moro civlians) claimed the Spratlys in the 1970s.

Don't lie kid, Islands belong to Vietnam from time of Nguyen Lord of Le Dynasty of Vietnam around 1600 years AD. KMT China was not designated to receive Islands of Vietnam, because Cairo statement didn't mentioned about Islands of Vietnam. Then both China and UK handed to receive surrenders of Japan to France following Chongqing Agreement 1946.
