Marcos affirmed PH sovereignty over WPS in Shangri-La speech -analysts

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. delivered a strong statement during the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore after reiterating the Philippines’ sovereignty over the West Philippine Sea , political analysts said on Saturday.“At the start of his speech, sinet niya na yung tune na notion natin na the Philippines is an archipelagic state," said defense analyst Renato de Castro during a forum.

The reason is that Philippine territory, as an archipelagic state, our internal waters, our exclusive economic zone, our territorial sea, are all founded and based and rooted on international laws,” said geopolitical analyst Don McLain Gill.“The problem is not defining our area, naka-define na po ‘yan . The problem is rooted in those countries that refuse to accept international law,” he added.
