Not just Philippines. Vietnam is being pushed out of the region.

See, the sea (pun intended) has always been fished by amongst many nationalities for thousands of years with absolutely no fighting whatsoever. Filipino fishermen themselves mentioned they even share some of their catch to Vietnamese and Chinese fishermen; until the Chinese government just laid claim to South China Sea unilaterally.

There was no problem at all to begin with. It is only the government attempting to brainwash their citizens to hate on other people.
