Noong Lunes, Pebrero 3, sa Manila, Philippines, nagkaroon ng mainit na talakayan sa Senado tungkol sa 2016 arbitral ruling laban sa China sa ilalim ng UNCLOS. Si Sen. Rodante Marcoleta ay nagduda sa bisa nito, sinasabing wala itong malinaw na coordinates o defined boundaries, na ginagawa itong hindi sapat na tiyak. Sa kabilang banda, ipinagtanggol ni Sen. Francis Pangilinan ang desisyon ng United Nations arbitral tribunal, na malinaw na pabor sa Pilipinas. Ayon sa kanya, kinumpirma nito ang sovereign rights ng bansa sa loob ng exclusive economic zone nito at tinanggihan ang historic claims ng China sa lugar na iyon. Ang ruling na ito ay napanalunan ng Pilipinas noong 2016, na nagbigay-diin sa karapatan nito sa West Philippine Sea, na kilala rin bilang South China Sea. Ang debate ay naganap sa panahon ng plenary deliberations, na nagpapakita ng patuloy na diskusyon sa Senado tungkol sa territorial claims ng bansa laban sa China. Walang direktang quotes mula sa mga senador sa mga ulat, ngunit ang kanilang posisyon ay malinaw na magkaibang pananaw sa legal na pundasyon ng claim ng Pilipinas.
