Sovereign markers were installed in Patag Island, Kota Island, Panata Islands, fishing ground in Balagtas, and Juan Felipe Reef from May 10 to 12. The PCG plans to install six more this year.
– The Philippine Coast Guard has installed five additional sovereign markers, or navigational buoys, in “critical areas” in the West Philippine Sea , the agency said Sunday.
In May 2022, the PCG installed five sovereign markers near the Likas Island, Parola Island, Lawak Island, and Pag-asa Island. “It underscores our adherence to global statutes, specifically the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which acknowledges coastal states' entitlement to manage their EEZs,” it said.
