Eight out 10 Filipinos want to assert the legal victory for the Philippines against China over the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea), according to an independent international and strategic research organization. At the book launch “Beyond the Crisis: A Strategic Agenda for the Next President” in Quezon City, professor Victor Andres Manhit of the Stratbase Albert del Rosario Institute said while most Filipinos would want the government to defend its position that the West Philippine Sea’s “nine-dash line” is within the territorial jurisdiction of the Philippines. Despite such intentions, there are other issues, such as unemployment and inflation, that have been hounding the Filipino people, he said.
