Marcos signs maritime laws to ‘fortify sovereign rights’

Quick Summary:

As China continues its encroachment in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), President Ferdinand Marcos signed last Friday two new laws to "fortify” Philippines’ sovereign rights in its maritime territories.

He noted while the ASL Law limited into three the sea lanes for foreign vessels to traverse within the country’s territory, he said they need additional assets and technical capabilities to monitor it in real time.

RA 12064 will take effect 15 days after its publication, while RA 12065 must be approved by the International Maritime Organization (IOM) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) before it can be enforced, according to Tolentino.
