The country under the leadership of President of Rodrigo Roa
Duterte has never in any manner relinquished any rights with respect to its
claimed territories in the highly disputed territories in the West Philippine
Sea (WPS).
The President reiterates that no country can ignore nor
diminish the Philippines’ arbitral victory in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) as
it sebunked China’s nine dash line theory.
The Chief Executive asserted the country’s arbitral win in
his speech during the virtual plenary session of the 37th Asean Summit,
emphasizing that the legal victory is now part of “international law”.

“The Philippine position is clear and firm. We must solve the
disputes peacefully and in accordance with international law, including UNCLOS
(United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea),” he said.
Duterte call the sea dispute as “Asean’s strategic
challenge”,, he said dealing with this delicate problem would bare a country’s
strengths and weaknesses.
“The 2016 arbitral award on the South China Sea
is an authoritative interpretation of the application of UNCLOS. It is now part
of international law. And its significance cannot be diminished nor ignored by
any country, however big and powerful,” he added.
Duterte emphasized and reiterated the need to
fast-track a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea to promote peace and
stability in the busy waterway.
“The Philippines is one with Asean in
transforming the South China Sea into a sea of peace and prosperity for all. We
are committed to the immediate conclusion of a substantive and effective Code of
Conduct in the South China Sea. And if I may add, it has been a long time and
it is a long wait,” he said.
It was last July 12, 2016, when the Philippines
won the arbitration case it lodged against China after the Permanent Court of
Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands invalidated Beijing’s nine-dash line
claim over the contested waters. China refused to acknowledge the arbitral
ruling.
The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, and
China, are the different countries who have different claims in the South China
Sea (SCS).
