The Philippines will remain committed to diplomacy in resolving illegal claims over the West Philippine Sea, which is part of the also highly-contested South China Sea, despite past and recent actions that are inconsistent with international law.
“This, in spite of recent actions or even actions which have been going on for sometime which are inconsistent with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2002 Declaration on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea,” he said in a press conference. During his trip to Germany, Manalo also spoke at a high-level security conference, where he complained of the daily incidents of harassments experienced by Filipinos in the West Philippine Sea as well as of reclamation activities, “which in many cases have been depriving the Philippines of the use of our exclusive economic zone .”
