    Philippine South China Sea Conflict: Territorial Arbitration


    The relationship of the two countries has long and profound history. China has been a
    wide contributor on the Philippine economy and vise versa. The bond ties the two nations and
    both has a mutual benefit concerning the industry. The Philippines has an increase in tourism
    aspect and there is a growing of trade industries between the two nations. Philippines and
    China are fortunes in terms of economy and fast-growing nations. However, on April 2012,
    Philippines and China relations was dominated by Territorial Dispute in the west Philippine sea.
    The Philippines must be empowered in this issue. It must fight for what it owns in spite of
    economic relations built for a more developed country.
    The term” west Philippine sea was used during the admiration of former president
    Benigno Aquino last 2011. Its institutions were to dispute the china’s sovereignty claim over the
    Whole South China sea. In September 2012, the Philippine Government announced that it
    would start using the name to refer to waters west of the Philippines as “West Philippine Sea”.
    It is challenging for the Philippines to overcome China which is a powerful country. on
    January 2013, the Philippine government filed an arbitration case against china under the
    United National Convention on the law of the Sea (UNCLOS) challenging the legality on 1987
    “the state shall pursue an independent foreign policy. In its relations with other states the
    paramount consideration shall be national sovereignty, territorial integrity, national interest
    and the right to self-determination. Based on the law, the Philippines has control on its territory
    and the “the state shall protect the nations marine wealth in its archipelagic waters. Territory
    Sea, and Exclusive Economic Zone and reserve its use and enjoyment exclusively to Filipino
    Citizens”. Indicated is the EEZ part of the south china sea wherein the eastern within the
    Philippine exclusive zone. However, Philippines-China relations quickly went from bad to worse.
    At around the same time, Aquino face early challenges in his presidency that were
    coincidentally directly or indirectly link to the Philippines-China relations, for example the
    botched rescue operation to save a bus filled with Hong Kong tourist in Manila in 2010, the
    shooting of the Taiwanese fishermen by the Philippine Coast Guard in mid-2013, and the
    Chinese execution of Filipino drug-mules despite appeals for clemency by the Philippine
    president.
    The permanent court of the Philippine government ruled in favor of the Philippines. On
    July 12, 2016, the tribunal ruled that china has “no historical rights” base on the nine-dash line
    map. According to former President Benigno Aquino III “we will not be push around because we
    are a tiny state compared with theirs”
    The former President is ready to fight for our territory. Thus, it is a powerful one that
    motivate every Filipino that we should fight for our own territory. China has nothing to do with
    west Philippine sea as it was under the nine-dash line map of the Philippines.
