Former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario on Tuesday reiterated his call on President Rodrigo Duterte to bring up for enforcement before the United Nations the Philippines’ 2016 arbitral victory against China over the disputed South China Sea. Del Rosario expressed hope that Duterte would finally listen to the Filipinos that the “government should raise the Arbitral Ruling in the UN General Assembly and other international forums for action.” He says there is international support for the Philippines’ legal rights in the West Philippines Sea.
