Insist PH's right over disputed sea, govt urged
Excerpt
Amid the reported Chinese militarization of the artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago, Senator Joel Villanueva on Wednesday called on the government and the public to insist on the country’s rightful claim over the West Philippine Sea. Villanueva said that since the decision of an international tribunal has no enforcement apparatus, it would be best for the government and its citizens to fully exercise its sovereign rights over its Exclusive Economic Zone in the West Philippine Sea.
