"Iisang Dagat" (Chinese: 海的那边; transl. from its Filipino title: "One Sea") is a song produced by the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines. Officially, the song was made as a tribute to Chinese and Filipino front-liners working amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines as well as to commemorate Chinese–Philippine relations.
The song received a significant negative feedback from Filipinos for being perceived as a Chinese government propaganda supporting the territorial claims of the People's Republic of China over the South China Sea. By November 2020, its music video posted in YouTube has received over 222,000 dislikes.[1]
