Addressing the nation, the President argued that he asserted the arbitration award ruling that nullified China’s claims in the South China Sea but nothing happened. He expressed concern on whether the Hague ruling could even be enforced, admitting that a nation’s military might usually prevails in a conflict.
In 2016, the Hague-based tribunal ruled that there was no legal basis for China to claim historic rights to resources within the South China Sea areas falling within the so-called nine-dash line. It also found that China supposedly violated the Philippines’ sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone by interfering with Filipino fishing and petroleum exploration and building artificial islands.
Tension in the disputed territory escalated after the Philippines protested the unlawful stay of Chinese ships in local waters. Some ships left the Julian Felipe Reef but others have reportedly scattered to other parts of the West Philippine Sea.

Hmmmm...., Arbitral ruling - voted and translated into document. Being a President of a country - voted and translated into document. Emotion clouded the logic. A country cannot be run by emotion The reason why Sec. Doque is a Hero, Sen Go as reliable source
Let's make that official. Why not ask congress to pass a resolution to reject the arbitral ruling? Otherwise your blabbering is just noise pollution. Peace🤠
What is the Constitution, another piece of trash? Is this what the generals in government think? Sorry, that may put their government positions, salaries and retirement in jeopardy.
