Youth group defies military, sets sail for West PH Sea

From ABS-CBN (Dec 25): Youth group defies military, sets sail for West PH Sea

A youth group led by former Marine captain Nicanor Faeldon has set sail for the West Philippine Sea despite warnings from the military and local government in Palawan.

The group "Kalayaan Atin Ito' is planning to reach Pag-Asa Island to protest China's reclamation works.

The AFP Western Command said the group was intercepted by the Philippine Navy on their way to Pag-Asa Island but Faeldon and his group grew aggressive, forcing authorities to allow them to pass rather than have a skirmish break out at sea.

The AFP said penalties await the owner of the vessel, which took on the group.
