Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert F. del Rosario again underscored the need for a rule-based approach in resolving the territorial dispute in the West Philippine Sea, saying this is the only legitimate and viable way to address the issue. "The West Philippine Sea remains a focus of concern for the Philippines, for the region and for the international community and as we have maintained many times before, a rule-based approach is the only legitimate and viable way to address the issue," Secretary del Rosario said in his remarks this morning at the Philippine Conference at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, D. C. Secretary del Rosario was among three Cabinet officials invited by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the newly launched US-Philippine Society to address the Philippine Conference.
