The West Philippine Sea (WPS), a part of the disputed South China Sea (SCS), may now be searched for on Google Maps. Filipino netizens noticed the label on Monday, though Google has not said when it was added to the platform. The WPS refers to the waters within the Philippines’ 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone.
