菲律宾众议院成员周末要求中国立即移除其在黄岩岛（Panatag Shoal）海域设置的浮动平台。议员们将该设施描述为对菲律宾海域的非法侵入。他们还敦促（中方）遵守《联合国海洋法公约》及2016年的仲裁裁决。
反对派代表莱拉·德利马（Leila de Lima）表示，该平台的存在是对菲律宾主权的冒犯。她呼吁中国停止在西菲律宾海的一切未经授权的活动。
高级副少数党领袖德利马与副议长杰伊·孔洪（Jay Khonghun）和保罗·奥尔特加五世（Paolo Ortega V），以及副多数党领袖齐亚·阿隆托·阿迪翁（Zia Alonto Adiong）共同提出了这一要求。该小组强调，此类设施在该地区并无立足之地。
这些声明是在菲律宾针对中国的仲裁胜诉十周年（7月）即将来临之际发表的。代表们坚持认为，北京必须履行其在国际法下的义务。
