IIUC ARTIC = US support for Philippine claims as per Huangyan Island [PHIL = Panatag Reef/Shoal] + doctrine of TERRA NULLUS may apply as to how the US originally acquired strategically important Hawaii. US MUST ADMIT IT NEVER OWNED HAWAII, US SUPPORT FOR PHILIPPINES' CLAIMS MAY FOSTER SECESSIONIST MOVEMENTS AGZ IT, INCLUD BUT NOT LIMITED TO HAWAII, + DITTO OTHER REGIONAL SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES + THEIR TERRITORIES???
