( Conclusion )
If the Philippines loses some 15,000 square kilometers of rich territorial waters in the Sulawesi Sea, there will be no one to blame but the Arroyo administration.


While President Arroyo is "comforting" overseas Filipino workers in Kuwait, Indonesia continues to document its claim to the small island of Palmas, only 47 nautical miles east-northeast of Sarangani island in Mindanao.
