Scarborough Shoal (under the names Pulo ng Panatag and Bajo de Masinloc) is claimed by the Philippine government as within the town's territorial jurisdiction. Due to the continued dispute over the shoal, this has negatively impacted fishermen of the community, reducing catch sizes and affecting other businesses.[5]
