00:00A retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice highlights the importance of historical documents

00:05and Philippine sovereignty claims.

00:07Philippine Information Agency, Memeropa, Rachel Gananshal, has more.

00:14Historical documents establishing Philippine sovereignty over Scarborough Shoal and Kalayaan

00:18Island groups are important to support the country's claims to its titles.

00:23This was emphasized by retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio in

00:28his visit in Palawan for a forum about the West Philippine Sea and turnover of a copy

00:33of the 1875 Carta General del Archipelago Filipino Map to the Provincial Government

00:39of Palawan.

00:40The map was a useful document for the Americans as they adopted it after discarding the map

00:45attached to the Treaty of Paris.

00:47This was the map of Philippine territory that the Americans followed during the American

00:54regime.

00:55But we have forgotten about this map.

00:57We don't have an original print of this map.

00:59We have forgotten about the Treaty of Washington and why it was signed.

01:05So there was a meeting of the minds.

01:07This is very clear because this is very important in our territorial dispute.

01:12Carpio explained that the Treaty of Washington in 1900 clarified that the Philippine territory

01:18includes all islands of the Philippine archipelago, lying outside the lines of the Treaty of Paris

01:23between the United States and Spain.

01:26It is important to correct misconceptions in Philippine history to support not only

01:31its claims in territories but to the future of Filipinos.

01:34From the Philippine Information Agency, me Manopa, Regisyal Garansyal, Balitang Pambansa.
