Back when we are still young, each of one of us are taught by how to return stuffs to
the originated places where we had gotten it. To return things to the rightful owner where we
had borrowed from. Lastly, preserving our ancestry that quite literally makes who we are. As
Filipinos, it’s a common norm or a basic etiquette to acquire this cognizance. Many events and
happenings in the previous years are still the talk of the town and continued to be a national
topic for discussion. One of these is the ongoing never-ending conflict over the West
Philippine Sea which is one of the most valuable water forms for us Filipinos or the so-called
“South China Sea” according to China.
Upon researching, the portion of the sea on the west coast of the Philippines that is
claimed in whole by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, as well as in part by Brunei, Malaysia, and
the Philippines, is known as the West Philippine Sea. Because of this, the West Philippine Sea
has always been apple of their eyes. There are various marine zones there, and each has
unique nautical rights that are only available to the Philippines. Most people believe that the
exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which extends 200 nautical miles from the baseline, is the
farthest border in the West Philippine Sea.
According to the website of Foreign Service Institute, the disputed situation about the
territory between Philippines and China it all escalated since the naval standoff over the
Scarborough Shoal in April 2012 and aggravated by issues of Chinese illegal occupation,
unlawful establishment of infrastructures, and incidents of incursions and encroachment
within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ). When the Philippine government filed
an arbitration lawsuit under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
against China in January 2013, contesting the validity of China's nine-dash line claim over the
contested waters, bilateral relations took a hit. While as per accordance to the Australian
Parliament House Library website, Japan is not a direct participant in any South China Sea
issues. It doesn't claim any territory in the region. Plus, it is not entitled to an exclusive
economic zone. Japan does, however, have significant interests in the region. However, Japan
places a great deal of strategic importance on the South China Sea, not just from a military
stance but also in terms of its diplomatic and economic security.
As per watching the news, the plans of the Japanese Prime Minister to address the
issue together with the Philippines will start under the new approach, Japan would use its
significant economic funding to back efforts by poorer nations like the Philippines to expand
their security capabilities and improve safety at sea as China exercises its military power in
the area. Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he and Marcos Jr. agreed to pursue efforts
to deepen the three-way security relations of Japan, the United States and the Philippines.
The main highlight of the visit is the Reciprocal Access Agreement wherein the Philippines and
Japan would be able to deploy troops to each other for military drills and other security
operations, such as cooperative patrols in the West Philippine Sea, that could act as a
deterrent to regional aggression.
In terms of how Philippines can improve its ties with Japan regards or regional security
and territorial integrity, this has been tackled in the state visit of Marcos back on February 8
this year. At Tokyo's Prime Minister's Office, the leaders ended off their first bilateral meet.
The seven prior agreements covered a range of sectors where parties may cooperate, such as
infrastructure, agriculture, disaster relief, digital collaboration, and humanitarian support. As
mentioned in the News release articles of the Presidential Communication Office website,
these are the agreements are: Exchange of Notes on Japanese Official Development Project:
North-South Commuter Railway Extension (NSCR) Project (II); Exchange of Notes on Japanese
Official Development Project: NSCR – Malolos to Tutuban Project (II); Loan Agreement for the
NSCR Extension Project (II); Loan Agreement for the NSCR – Malolos to Tutuban Project (II);
Umbrella Term of Reference (TOR) on Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR)
Cooperation.
