00:00President Bambang Marcos has already signed the two new laws

00:03that govern the territory of the Philippines

00:05in accordance with the arbitral ruling.

00:07He also signed the three new sea lanes

00:09where all ships and airplanes of other countries can pass through.

00:13But China immediately ignored the two laws

00:16and called for the ambassador of the Philippines.

00:19Witness, Darlene Cai.

00:25In every discussion of the Panatagsyol or Pag-asa Island,

00:29the West Philippine Sea or WPS is included.

00:32This is the part of the South China Sea

00:34that is part of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

00:37And in the signing of President Bambang Marcos' Maritime Zones Law,

00:40the use of the name West Philippine Sea is a formal law.

00:44The territory of the Philippines is based on the new law

00:47in accordance with the 2016 Arbitral Award

00:49on the other side of the sea that covers the country

00:51and on the other side of our EEZ.

00:53With these pieces of legislation,

00:55we align our domestic laws with international law.

00:59Specifically, the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas or UNCLOS

01:02to improve our capacity for governance

01:05and reinforce our maritime policies

01:07for economic development and for national security.

01:11We are staunchly committed to nurturing,

01:14cultivating and protecting our maritime domain.

01:18The President also signed the Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law

01:21that covers the three sea lanes of the Philippines.

01:24There are two routes to the east and one to the west.

01:28Only those routes can be used by ships and planes from other countries.

01:33Once the three sea lanes are approved by the International Maritime Organization,

01:37it can be implemented by our government.

01:39Because of the new law,

01:41it is expected that the Philippines will have a new look in the coming days.

01:46Aside from the use of the name West Philippine Sea,

01:48the country will formally change its name to Benham Rise

01:51and will become Philippine Rise or Talampas ng Pilipinas.

01:54We already have the maps prepared.

01:57We are just waiting for the implementing rules and regulations

02:02in order for us to modify or revise the maps that we have prepared accordingly

02:06until its final publication.

02:08The new law could be used as an excuse for punishment.

02:12But it is also expected that China will not recognize it.

02:16According to the Foreign Ministry of China,

02:18China called on the ambassador of the Philippines

02:20to announce their agreement on the two new laws.

02:23The National Maritime Council admitted that additional funds are needed

02:28for the Philippines to be human and useful enough

02:30for the implementation of these two laws.

02:33We need more assets.

02:34We need more bottoms.

02:36We need more technical capabilities to fully monitor, detect,

02:41and I don't want to say neutralize,

02:45but rather address any violations of our laws.

02:50For GMA Integrated News, I'm Darlene Cayang.

02:53Your success.
