The briefing was also intended to promote not only the amplification of truth about the West Philippine Sea through free and responsible journalism, but also through government’s efforts in protecting the country’s sovereignty, national interest, and ensuring the rule of law and gaining support from the diplomatic community in fostering regional stability through dialogue and adherence to international law. It provided a venue for discussion of issues and developments concerning the WPS among stakeholders – the government, media, and the diplomatic community. 2024-02-10T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12174/18377 Cargo ship capsizes; PH, China on mercy mission Sadongdong, Martin A Singaporean-flagged general cargo vessel loaded with iron ore listed and eventually capsized off Ango Bay in Pangasinan, prompting search and rescue (SAR) operations from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and China Coast Guard (CCG) ships on Friday, Jan. 23.
