What is Arigo v. Swift: Writ of Kalikasan Case about?

1) The USS Guardian, a US Navy ship, ran aground on the Tubbataha Reefs in the Philippines in 2013, damaging the coral reef. 2) Petitioners filed a writ of kalikasan, claiming the grounding and salvaging operations caused environmental damage. They argued the US should be held liable. 3) The Court found the US immune from the petition under the doctrine of state immunity. However, the US could be held internationally responsible for damages under UNCLOS, which creates an exception to immunity for damage
