The Philippines will “continue to push back” against China’s aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea, Manila’s top security official said, adding that the government has the
  option to file another arbitral case against China’s violations of Philippine sovereignty. National Security Adviser Eudardo Año made these remarks at a forum on Friday which marked the eighth anniversary of the arbitral ruling that invalidated Beijing’s sweeping claims in the South China Sea.
” “The 2016 victory showed the world that a small country like the Philippines can legally, peacefully, and diplomatically stand up to a big, autocratic country like China,” Hontiveros said in a statement. She said “Beijing’s continued threats and intimidation despite the ruling are also a sober reminder to the world that all those who believe in the international, rules-based order must actively come together to safeguard peace and security across the globe.
