In this photo taken March 13, 2012 by surveillance planes and released Thursday, May 15, 2014, by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, the Johnson Reef, locally called Mabini Reef, called Mabini by the Philippines and Chigua by China, is seen at the Spratly Islands at South China Sea. The Philippines has protested China's reclamation of land in the disputed reef in the South China Sea that can be used to build an airstrip or an offshore military base

A multilateral discussion is needed to deal with China’s reclamation project at the Mabini Reef in the West Philippine Sea, Malacanang said March 14.

The Department of National Defense has confirmed that China is carrying out “reclamation or earthmoving activities” at the Mabini Reef, also known as the Johnson Reef.

Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said during a press briefing that Vietnam also has a claim on the reef, hence the need for a multilateral discussion rather than a bilateral dialogue.
