The Philippines and China have signed an agreement raising to the highest level the officials who may use an emergency hotline concerning incidents in the South China Sea, involving presidential offices and foreign ministries.
MANILA, Philippines —
The DFA is in discussions with the Chinese side on the guidelines that will govern the implementation of this arrangement. The two sides had a candid and constructive exchange of views on the situation in the South China Sea, in particular, on handling the situation at Ayungin Shoal. China’s illegal and aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea has sparked international condemnation.
The new version has included the maritime boundaries in Palawan and the Philippine or Benham Rise, as well as reconciled the “technical” provisions on internal and archipelagic waters, Tolentino said. Maritime zones are drawn with the baselines as the starting point. The country’s archipelagic baselines are defined in Republic Act 9522, passed in 2009.
Marabe added that Pamalakaya is also coordinating with other fisherfolk operators and associations in Pangasinan and La Union provinces to look into their situation amid the fishing ban. “General Brown showed he is satisfied with how the US Typhon missile system and other weapons have been prepositioned in the Philippines, and how the country has served as base for the deployment of its warships in the South China Sea,” CPP chief information officer Marco Valbuena said.Get ready for a slam dunk this July 21! vivo 3x3 Basketball Challenge is back
