The Philippine Ambassador to the US on the South China Sea dispute and tensions with China | DW News
As tensions continue to rise between the Philippines and China over their mutual claims to parts of the South China Sea, in a conflict with the potential to pull in Washington, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez outlines what’s at stake for his country - and as he argues, for the world.
In 1999, the Philippines deliberately marooned the BRP Sierra Madre on the Second Thomas Shoal, along with its crew to act as an outpost and to further its territorial claims.
As Chinese ships step up present-day attempts to block resupply missions to the Sierra Madre, news of a so-called “gentlemen’s agreement” between former President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration and Chinese government officials has created a furor. Chinese officials claim the existence of an audio recording where the Duterte government essentially agreed to a less vigorous pursuit of the Philippine claim to the Second Thomas Shoal and to refrain from bringing construction materials to the outpost. The current tensions, in China’s view, are a product of Manila’s reneging on the agreement.
For its part, the present administration under Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has denied knowledge of any such deal and has generally been taking a different tack from the previous government. Marcos has pivoted back to the United States, reaffirming defense ties with the United States, and with partners in the region like Japan. The hope is that there’s safety in numbers - that stronger alliances will raise the costs of aggression for China.

Check again, "In a May 11 interview on dzBB, Cuisia (Jose Cuisia Jr., PH ambassador to US) said then-US Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell (Architect of US Pivot to Asia) proposed the withdrawal of Philippine ships from the shoal. Cuisia said he proposed that China do the same." Cuisia said Kurt Campbell talked to the Chinese ambassador and that they agreed to withdraw, his words, none of our own delegates got a confirmation from the Chinese ambassador, Cuisia took Campbell's word and ran with it, told Del Rosario to pull out the ships while China stayed. That's how we lost Scarborough Shoal. They Chinese ambassador said they never agreed to anything. That how we were fooled by the US and continues to be fooled by the US now by fanning the flames of the tensions in the South China Sea, which doesn't benefit us and only benefit the hegemony of the US.

Legally, Professor Carty thoroughly explores the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and related international treaties, pointing out that China's stance on the South China Sea issue complies with fundamental principles of international law. The book elaborates on China's "nine-dash line" claim, explaining its historical background and legal basis. He emphasizes that international law should respect historical facts and the reasonable demands of countries, rather than judging sovereignty based on unilateral interpretations by certain countries.
You should remind your government to look at the development more closely

You can not talk to anyone that thinks that might makes right.
It’s interesting that the generation of Filipinos that Duarte represents, that were anti-American and asked the U.S. to leave the American Navy base in Subic Bay, are leaving the stage. They demonstrated to the younger generations that the fate of the Philippines was in their hands and blaming the Americans for their corrupt politics was pointless and did not serve them. It is not an accident that Philippines is much less prosperous than Malaysia and is about to be surpassed by Vietnam. The fact that America left Subic Bay when asked and now is being asked, no begged, to come back for Philippines own self interest is an ironic twist and really shows how much harm President Xi has caused to the people of China.
Following China's logic with it's claim, it would also justify for the US to claim the whole, Pacific and Atlantic and England to claim the English Channels. All because of historical reasoning.

Msia does not provoke China like the Phillipines, and situation is status quo. Philippines sunk a commissioned navy ship at the disputed shoal; with obvious motive to drag their Uncle Sam to confront China. Philippine action is a threat to regional security.

So why US insist stay at Guantanamo which obviously part of integral land of Cuba? When will you return Mexican land that was illegaly occupied by you. Solve your own territory problem before talk about others please!
Thought DW should focus more on Ukraine war instead of south China sea. Asian are more wise than European and like peace instead of war.
The onlynway is to stop filipino using shoppe and lazada and don't buy in divisoria and quiapo and SM and Robinson and all chinese shops and chinese products..... another pa manibili natin😢😢😢😢
The Philippines must not stick to the US so much, look what happened to Japan its experienced a mega economic bubble during the 80s but The Us doesn't want to be surpassed so they lauched the plaza accord to destroy their economy until today,

The Philippines must provide a oceanic sea drones because it's geographic area surrounded by the sea is cheaper than buying big ship
He speaks for the his master, not the Pinoys. Sovereignty? Is there any? Freed0m of navigation? There's always one. Continue to provoke with world policeman and not prepared to sit down and negotiate is not a sign of peace loving. The world is already in chaos in eastern Europe and the Middle East. Why is it so not spreading conflict to Asia?
Stop calling china sea our teretory it's philippine sea. West philippine sea is our teretory

Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty Article 2 It is recognized under Treaty of Peace with Japan signed at the city of San Francisco, Japan has renounced all right, title and claim to Taiwan and Penghu as well as Spratly Islands and Paracel Islands. Win WWIII to rewrite WWII order, remember ROC Taiwan still claims 11-dashline since 1947, PRC just copied ROC same claim after 1949

China's reliance on the ROC's outdated 1947 11-dash line is illegitimate and contravenes international law. China's aggressive actions in the Philippines' EEZ, including harassment of fishermen and illegal island-building, are blatant violations of UNCLOS. These acts of bullying and territorial infringement must be condemned. The Philippines' sovereign rights must be defended, and international law enforced to counter China's unlawful claims.

Except PRC isnt ROC, ROC still has Taiwan, and the 11 dash line is disputed by several countries and not recognized as border of PRC. Paracel Islands are disputed by vietnam and Taiwan but controlled by PRC. Spratly Islands are both disputed and controlled by many different countries including PRC, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, and Malaysia, and Brunei

1992 consensus is an agreed understanding. Just different opinions that developed today in 2024. Fix your brain 🧠
DW is famous for single sided discussions.
