00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed the Philippine Maritime Zones Act and the Philippine

00:05Archipelagic Sea Lanes Act.

00:07According to the President, the Philippine Maritime Zones Act aims to clarify the country's

00:11maritime entitlements and scope, which are based on the United Nations Convention on

00:17the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS.

00:19This will also establish the maritime jurisdiction of the Philippines, ensuring the country's

00:24rights as an archipelagic state are clearly defined so that Filipinos can benefit from

00:29the wealth of the Philippine Seas.

00:31In the meantime, the Philippine Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law will also strengthen the Philippines'

00:35maritime and aerial policies through the designation of routes for international vessels.

00:41This will avoid arbitrary international passages through the territory of the country or unregulated

00:46entry of foreign vessels into the country's waters.

00:50I therefore call on all concerned government agencies and the local governments to review

00:55rules and regulations against these new laws with a view of undertaking the necessary steps

01:02for their effective implementation.
