Fair-use Rationale for Philippines and the Spratly Islands[edit]

• The use of the image here does not effect any competition with Philippine Star's use of this image. It does not reveal anything Philippine Star does not want to be revealed publicly.
• The image resolution was already reduced by Philstar.com. The original image, which is published in the newspaper, has a higher resolution.
• The image is needed to provide Wikipedia readers a sense on how Filipinos view the Spratly dispute with regards to their country's lagging military capabilities.
• No other equivalent free image is available.
