필리핀은 오늘 남중국해에서 중국의 영유권 주장을 무효화한 2016년 헤이그 중재 판결 10주년을 맞이했다.
필리핀 외교부가 주최한 행사에서 달린 베르베라베 법무차관은 이번 판결이 헌법과 법률, 그리고 제도를 통해 이를 준수하기로 결정한 필리핀 공화국의 의지로 인해 여전히 유효하다고 강조했다. 그는 2024년에 제정된 필리핀 해양구역법과 군도 항로법, 그리고 지난 3월 서필리핀해와 칼라얀 군도의 131개 지형에 명칭을 부여한 행정명령 제111호를 언급했다. 길베르토 테오도로 주니어 국방부 장관은 필리핀 국민의 현재와 미래 세대를 위해 서필리핀해에서 우리의 권리와 자격을 부정하려는 어떠한 시도에도 맞설 것이라고 밝혔다.
