Recently, a group of Philippine protesters gathered to express their discontent with China's actions in the South China Sea. The protesters were seen trampling on an effigy of Chinese President Xi Jinping, symbolizing their anger towards what they perceive as China's maritime aggression.
The South China Sea has been a contentious issue for years, with multiple countries laying claim to various parts of the region. China's expansive claims in the area have often led to tensions with neighboring countries, including the Philippines.
