Senator Risa Hontiveros on Tuesday, May 11 urged the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to lead discussions with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regarding the prolonged presence of Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea.
Hontiveros said the DFA should start actively reaching out to other ASEAN member states that also have claims in the South China Sea (SCS), such as Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei to strengthen the Philippine’s rights on its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the WPS region.
The senator said it would also be to the country’s advantage if the Philippines and Indonesia strengthen its bilateral ties considering that it is the only ASEAN member state that has publicly acknowledged the country’s 2016 victory at The Hague.
