To help boost the Philippines’ territorial claims in the West Philippine Sea , Senate President Francis Escudero announced on Monday that the upper chamber will prioritize passing laws akin to the Maritime Zone and Sea Lanes Act.
Escudero emphasized the importance of enhancing the military, not to escalate tensions further, but to ensure that peace and stability will reign supreme in the region. “We will strengthen our military, not to ignite any conflict, but in order to secure peace,” he stated. “We will take peaceful measures to defend our people’s right to sail in our seas and fish in our waters—as what our ancestors had done, and what our children shall do,” Escudero affirmed.
