‘FILE A CASE AGAINST CHINA.’ Former Solicitor General and Supreme Court Associate Justice Francis Jardeleza speaks at the weekly Kapihan

sa Manila Hotel. He urged the government to file a case and seek damages from China for harassment in the West Philippine Sea. Norman Cruz

During the Kapihan sa Manila Hotel news forum, Jardeleza suggested to the government, through the Office of the Solicitor General , to immediately initiate the filing of the case before the United Nations-backed Permanent Court of Arbitration while cases of harassment against Philippine personnel in the West Philippine Sea are still fresh.

Jardeleza served as a solicitor general during the administration of former president Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III when the Philippines filed an arbitration case against China before the PCA. The Philippines recently conducted naval exercises with the US, Australia and Japan in the South China Sea, amid China’s actions in the Indo-Pacific waters that flouted the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea .

Navy spokesperson Captain Benjo Negranza said these ships will be known as the Alvarez-class patrol vessels once commissioned in service. The christening and commissioning rites would be held at PN headquarters at Naval Station Jose Andrada, Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
