There are several nations with claims to the Spratly Islands. Chief among them, the Philippines, Vietnam, China and Japan have all claimed at least some portion of this archipelago in the past.
Which nation has the better claim is a highly subjective matter, and the answer probably depends largely on one's point of view - and nationality.
For Pilipino

Spratlys islands has a lot of oil. And it has a lot of natural resources. That is why china wants is so badly,they are selfish and they want to own something eventhough it belongs to someone, they will force it. China is a big bully compared to the other countries.. the spratly islands really belongs to philippines...
The Philippines don't need to get the spartly islands because it is already in the Philippines as it is in the Philippine watersThe Philippines is the legal owner of the islands in the Spratlys as it is within 200 Nautical Mile Exclusive Economic Zone said United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)

According to my extensive research, NO ONE own the Spratly Islands, but the Chinese dynasty during year 200 AD claim it and saying those part of the Island are belongs to them. In addition, Chinese dynasty named this island "Nansha Island." This island was not Spratly back since 1791 Captain Spratle name under his name. For sure, China never own Spratley Island, but more relatively (but not really, its close) own Philippine government..
