00:00President Marcos Jr. strengthened the two important laws

00:05that will help us to have a better right to our territories

00:10and to protect our natural resources.

00:14Kenneth Paciente returns to Centro Balita.

00:19With the aim of strengthening the sovereignty of the Philippines

00:22and to make its territory clearer,

00:25President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed two laws.

00:29The Philippine Maritime Zones Law and the Philippine Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law.

00:33According to the President, the Philippine Maritime Zones Law

00:36will give clarity to the maritime entitlements of the country,

00:39as well as to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS.

00:45He will also establish it in the maritime jurisdiction of the Philippines

00:49that will ensure that the right of the country as an archipelagic state

00:52is clearly established

00:54to ensure that Filipinos can benefit from the riches of the Philippine waters.

00:59Our people, especially our fisherfolk,

01:02should be able to pursue their livelihood free from uncertainty and harassment.

01:07We must be able to harness mineral and energy resources in our seabed.

01:13Maintaining the primacy of the UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award

01:18as our beacons in the maritime domain,

01:21the Philippines reaffirms its sovereignty,

01:23sovereign rights, and jurisdiction in our waters.

01:27By defining and asserting our maritime zones,

01:31we project to the international community

01:33that we are staunchly committed to nurturing,

01:37cultivating, and protecting our maritime domain.

01:41While the Philippine Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law

01:44will strengthen the maritime and aerial policies of the Philippines

01:47by establishing routes for international vessels.

01:52Through this, arbitrary international passage

01:56of foreign vehicles into the Philippine waters

02:00will not be regulated.

02:02According to the President,

02:03this will still be implemented under the UNCLOS

02:06while maintaining the principles of equality and diversity in other countries.

02:11The designated archipelagic sea lanes and air routes

02:15aim to facilitate safe passage for foreign ships and aircraft

02:18without compromising our national security

02:22nor diminishing our capacity for good environmental stewardship.

02:27These sea lanes will offer continuous, expeditious,

02:31and unobstructed transit for vessels and air transport

02:35while obliging them to comply

02:37with navigational regulations and procedures

02:39as well as with the air rules of flight safety and protocols.

02:44In addition to the President,

02:45the two laws are important to show the country's importance

02:49in the International Rules-Based Order.

02:51It will also show the Philippines' commitment

02:54to safeguarding the maritime zones of the country

02:57as well as protecting its maritime domain.

02:59These laws will also support the international laws

03:04and show the Philippines' responsibility

03:07to the international community.

03:09The President hopes that through these two laws,

03:13the country will strengthen its protection

03:15of the maritime interests of the country.

03:17I therefore call on all concerned government agencies

03:20and the local governments to review rules and regulations

03:23against these new laws

03:25with a view of undertaking the necessary steps

03:28for their effective implementation.

03:32The National Maritime Council approved the two laws.

03:36It will show the country's willingness

03:38to protect the wide maritime resources of the Philippines.

03:42These important legislations underscore our commitment

03:46to adhere to international law,

03:49particularly the United Nations Convention

03:51on the Law of the Seas.

03:53They provide essential guidelines for navigation

03:56and the sustainable management of our waters,

03:59promoting maritime safety, security,

04:02and responsible stewardship

04:04of our precious marine ecosystems.

04:08Senator Francis Tolentino will also give

04:11the Philippine Maritime Zones Act

04:12and Philippine Archaeopelagic Sealings Act

04:14an implementation of the 2016 Arbitral Ruling

04:18in which the Philippines was banned.

04:20However, the Senator believes that even with this kind of law,

04:24it will not immediately be recognized by other countries.

04:26We don't expect an instant recognition

04:30on the part of China

04:31because they have been disregarding international law.

04:36So, this will help us because our fishermen,

04:41number two, Republic Act 12065,

04:44they already know where the big ships will go.

04:48This will not happen again in the Sambales,

04:51Santa Cruz area, Sambales,

04:52where our small boats will be hit by big ships.

04:56But according to the DOJ,

04:57it will still be difficult to implement in the Philippines

05:00because its implementation is not based

05:01on the recognition of other countries.

05:04Legislators and stakeholders also recognized

05:07the determination of the President

05:09after the successful implementation of the two amendments

05:12after 18 years.

05:14Kenneth Paciente for Pambansang TV in the new Philippines.
