ESSAY ABOUT THE WEST PHILIPPINE SEA ISSUE

The maritime areas on the western side of the Philippine archipelago are hereby named as the
West Philippine Sea. These areas include the Luzon Sea as well as the waters around within the adjacent
to the Kalayaan Island Group and Bajo de Masinloc, also known as Scarborough Shoal. The Philippines
should proceed to explore and develop the oil and gas in the West Philippine Sea, like the action of its
neighbors who were able to assert their sovereign rights over their waters and completed drilling even
without the benefit of an Arbitral Award and defense treaty.

The persistent territorial dispute between China and the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea
(WPS) has become one of the most prominent issues in recent years. This issue has resonated beyond
national borders and has captured global attention

In my opinion, Filipinos can use the West Philippine Sea because it belongs to us and there’s a rule
that the Philippines has sovereign rights over WPS. This is an issue that we need to seriously consider.
Because it not just involves our territory, but also the vessels, the occupation and the lives of our fellow
Filipino fishermen are on the line
