A big majority of Filipinos want their government to assert the country’s rights in the West Philippine Sea, a Social Weathers Station survey showed.
Four years since the Philippines won its historic case against China at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, a big majority of Filipinos want their government to assert the country’s rights in the West Philippine Sea, a Social Weathers Station survey released on Tuesday, July 14, showed.
The Philippines marked the 4th anniversary of the historical award by issuing its strongest statement on the ruling so far, calling it “non-negotiable” and urging China to comply with it in “good faith.” “This is a case where you have the Filipino people as a whole, rejecting completely the position of the administration vis a vis China, even though they would say they find the administration popular to them,” Mangahas said.
