March 31, 2024, 10:03 amIn a new six-page executive order released on Easter Sunday, President Marcos reorganized the central inter-agency body tasked to provide a strategic approach in addressing territorial disputes in the West Philippine Sea into the National Maritime Council.
“Despite efforts to promote stability and security in our maritime domain, the Philippines continues to confront a range of serious challenges that threaten not only the country’s territorial integrity, but also the peaceful existence of Filipinos, including their fundamental right to live in peace and freedom, free from fear of violence and threat,” the EO read.
Under the new EO, the Council has been authorized, among others, to “exercise overall jurisdiction and direction on policy-formulation, implementation and coordination with other government agencies, experts and organizations, both foreign and local, on all issues affecting the country’s maritime security and domain awareness.”
