00:00The two new laws that define the territory of the Philippines in accordance with the Arbitral Ruling have already been signed by President Bambang Marcos.
00:18As well as the three new sea lanes where all ships and airplanes of other countries can pass through.
00:24But China has already signed the two new laws and called the ambassador of the Philippines.
00:30Witness, Darlene Cai.
00:36Whenever there is a talk about the establishment of a shore or the establishment of an island, the West Philippine Sea or WPS will be involved.
00:43This is the part of the South China Sea that is within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
00:48Under President Bambang Marcos' Maritime Zones Law, the use of the term West Philippine Sea is a formal law.
00:55The new law defines the territory of the Philippines in accordance with the 2016 Arbitral Award,
01:00including the part of the sea where the country is located and which is our EEZ.
01:04With these pieces of legislation, we align our domestic laws with international law.
01:10Specifically, the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas or UNCLOS.
01:14To improve our capacity for governance and reinforce our maritime policies for economic development and for national security.
01:22We are staunchly committed to nurturing, cultivating, and protecting our maritime domain.
01:29President Bambang Marcos also signed the Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law that covers the three sea lanes of the Philippines.
01:35There are two routes, one to the east and one to the west.
01:39With these routes, all ships and airplanes of other countries can pass.
01:44Once the three sea lanes of the International Maritime Organization are approved,
01:48it can be implemented by our government.
01:50Because of the new law, it is expected that in the coming days, the new look of the map of the Philippines will be released.
01:56Aside from the use of the term West Philippine Sea,
01:59the country will formally change to Benhav Rise and will become Philippine Rise or Talampas ng Pilipinas.
02:05We already have the maps prepared.
02:08We are just waiting for the implementing rules and regulations
02:12in order for us to modify or revise the maps that we have prepared accordingly until its final publication.
02:19The new law will be subject to a pardon.
02:23But it is also expected that it will not be recognized by China.
02:27According to the Foreign Ministry of China,
02:29China called the ambassador of the Philippines to announce their agreement on the two new laws.
02:34The National Maritime Council admitted that additional funds are needed
02:38for the Philippines to be human and useful enough to implement these two laws.
02:43We need more assets, we need more bottoms, we need more technical capabilities to fully monitor, detect,
02:52and I don't want to say neutralize, but rather address any violations of our laws.
03:01For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene Cai, your Saksi.
03:10Before Saksi, more than 2 million pesos worth of illegal party drugs were found in Paranaque,
03:16including cocaine, ketamine, marijuana, and ecstasy.
03:21The smugglers will be brought to the PNP Southern Police District Forensic Unit for investigation.
03:27In addition to the drug smugglers, the 26-year-old suspect was also arrested in the Bybusk operation.
03:33Money, boodle money, and weighing scales were also obtained in the Bybusk operation.
03:39The Marseille typhoon is now out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
03:42and all wind signals have also been lifted.
03:45The typhoon is moving west-southwest, and Vietnam may be the next target.
03:50It may be the next target, especially in the low-perish area,
03:53the group of clouds that were seen yesterday in Pag-asa.
03:57It is expected to enter the PAR tonight or tomorrow morning.
04:01According to Pag-asa, the chances of this being a typhoon are high, and it will be called the Nika Typhoon.
04:06This has no effect yet, but there is still a chance of rain in some parts of the country this weekend.
04:11And based on the data of Metro Weather, there will be scattered rain tomorrow in Ilocos Region.
