Commodore Reef, Maritime reef in South China Sea, Philippines
The Commodore Reef consists of two atolls connected by a reef structure with multiple man-made installations across a 25-meter square area.
The reef gained attention in 2020 when a Philippine Navy vessel encountered a Chinese corvette, leading to a tense maritime standoff near the territory.
The reef bears different names across regional languages, including Siling Jiao in Chinese and Rizal in Filipino, reflecting its multicultural significance.
Access to Commodore Reef requires special permits due to its location in disputed waters and ongoing territorial claims by multiple Southeast Asian nations.
The reef generates its own territorial waters and sits within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone, creating overlapping maritime jurisdiction patterns.
