Seven years after the historic ruling, Manila comes out with a ‘central resource’ – containing submissions, transcripts, and mementos – documenting its win against China before the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
MANILA, Philippines – A year after a muted celebration from the then-new Marcos administration, the Philippines’ Department of Foreign on Wednesday, July 12, launched adocumenting and commemorating the country’s historic arbitral award against China’s encroaching claims in the South China Sea.
“Anniversaries are markers reminding us of the trajectory we have taken as a nation and as a people. In the decision to file a case for arbitration, the Philippines opted to take the path of principle, the rule of law and the peaceful settlement of disputes. The Tribunal’s decision affirmed the correctness of that course of action,” said Manalo in a separate statement.
Marcos has taken a path markedly different from his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, who tried to bring Manila closer to Beijing, as the Asian superpower grew more and more aggressive in the South China Sea, including in areas well within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone . The award, which was handed down three years later, quashed most of China’s claims over the South China Sea, including the controversial nine-dash line and its activities in Philippine waters.
