The Philippines was a Spanish and then US colony. They set its boundaries but did not include any islands in the South China Sea as they knew the islands belonged to China. But later due to navigation improvement, they could reach far into SCS so wanted to obtain the islands and denied their previous admittance that the islands belonged to China. Moreover, China claimed the 11 dash scs in the UN in the 40s prior to unclos. unclos have no jurisdiction over this claim as china ratified unclos with reservation to protect existing sovereignty in scs.
