Philippine Foreign Minister Teodoro Locsin said that the scene with a 'cow's tongue line' should be cut off and people should boycott the production.

"Of course they should cut off the annoying scene, which will show our dissatisfaction better than we ban the film as some suggest," Locsin wrote on Twitter October 16. about the Abominable movie. "I call for a worldwide boycott of all DreamWorks products."

Abominable (Vietnamese title: Everest: Little Snowman) is about a Chinese girl named Yi and two friends who meet a snowman. The group helps the creature reunite with its family at Mount Everest. Abominable is a product of DreamWorks Animation and Chinese company Pearl Studio.

In the film, there are scenes of the map at Yi's house, supposedly drawing the "cow's tongue line," unreasonable claims made by China unilaterally claiming sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, despite the protest from the international community. This movie was discontinued in Vietnam from October 13.

The Philippines in early 2013 sued China over a dispute over sovereignty of the South China Sea in the Permanent Court of Arbitration under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982. In July 2016, the Arbitral Court ruled that it had no legal basis. for China's "cow's tongue line".
