Message for All The Chinese : Let us be clear. The West Philippine Sea belongs to us. Our rights over this territory are not only rooted in geography and history but are also backed by international law.
In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ruled in favor of the Philippines, invalidating China's so-called "Nine-Dash Line" claim. It was a major victory, not just for our country, but for all nations that believe in fairness and the rule of law.
