Walang basehan at labag sa soberanya, iyan ang giit ng China sa bagong-lagdang Maritime Law ng Pilipinas kung saan din nakasaad ang pormal na pagbanggit sa West Philippine Sea. Pero ayon sa isang geopolitical analyst, naaayon ang ating Maritime Zones Law sa International Law.

00:00There is no basis for their sovereignty.
00:03That is what China is aiming at in the new maritime law of the Philippines
00:06where the formal mention of the West Philippine Sea is also mentioned.
00:11But according to a geopolitical analyst,
00:13according to our maritime zones law,
00:15in the international law,
00:16JP Soriano is right.
00:22The new laws that govern the maritime zones
00:26and archipelagic sea lanes of the Philippines
00:28are important to China.
00:30According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry,
00:32Beijing called our ambassador,
00:35Jaime Flor Cruz,
00:36to arrive at their maritime condemnation.
00:40China is aiming at no basis for any law of the Philippines
00:44that is based on the 2016 Arbitral Award
00:47that the Philippines got.
00:49They are claiming their sovereignty,
00:52rights, and interests in the South China Sea
00:55that is based on the history and law
00:59that they abide by in the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea
01:03and is not affected by our Maritime Zones Act.
01:07Ambassador Flor Cruz and our Department of Foreign Affairs
01:11are not yet subject to Beijing's summons.
01:14Unlike China, America supports the Maritime Zones Act.
01:18But according to the geopolitical analyst, Don McLean Gill,
01:22China is wrong
01:25that our Maritime Zones Act is not in accordance with international law.
01:29This was drawn from international law.
01:32So I think that that is again another disinformation that is being spread.
01:36And we have to be very careful about the information that we uphold
01:40regarding these sort of activities.
01:42Archipelagic sea lanes are established
01:45as the three official sea lanes in the country
01:48where ships and airplanes of other countries,
01:52civilian or military,
01:54are not included in the 10-line claim of China.
02:00According to Professor J. Batong-Bacal,
02:03this law is directly applicable to sea vehicles of any country
02:08that can only pass through the Philippine waters
02:10from China or allied countries.
02:15When it comes to military vessels and aircraft,
02:19at least we can confine them to the archipelagic sea lanes
02:25that we will designate.
02:27It's not just where they want to pass through.
02:30For GMA Integrated News,
02:32J.P. Soriano,
02:33for 24 Hours.
