CNN Philippines takes a look back at the country’s historic arbitral victory — and the events that transpired five years after the tribunal handed down the landmark ruling.

The Hague arguments: Philippine case against China explainedAfter three and a half years, the bench finally released its ruling on the Philippines’ case against China. The judges ruled there was no legal basis for Beijing to claim"historic rights" to resources in areas under its nine-dash line.

The tribunal also found that China had violated the Philippines’ sovereign rights in its EEZ by interfering with fishing and petroleum exploration, constructing artificial islands, and failing to prevent Chinese fishermen from fishing in the zone. It also said that China’s land reclamations caused harm to the marine environment in the South China Sea., newly-elected President Rodrigo Duterte vowed the government would take action should China move to mine resources in parts of the South China Sea where the country has economic rights.

"[I will bring up the ruling] during my time. I cannot let it pass na balewala na lang ," Duterte said at the time.Quoting Sansha City Mayor Xiao Jie, news organization Reuters reported that China plans to build environmental monitoring stations on a number of islands, including the Scarborough Shoal. Sansha is a city established by China in July 2012, headquartered on disputed Woody Island in the South China Sea.

“We tried to be friends with everybody but we have to maintain our jurisdiction now, at least the areas under our control,” the President said.
