菲律宾外交部断然拒绝了中国驻马尼拉大使馆针对2016年南海仲裁裁决的言论。该声明于周一晚间发布，正值北京在裁决公布十周年之际重申其立场。
菲律宾外交部表示，根据《联合国海洋法公约》附件七作出的这项裁决是最终且具有约束力的。它构成了国际法不可动摇的一部分，并为南海的海洋权利提供了法律上的明确性。
此次驳斥缘于中国大使馆在社交媒体上发布的内容，这些内容贬低了裁决并声称黄岩岛是中国领土。这些由副发言人郭伟署名的使馆帖文质疑了菲律宾过去十年所获的利益，并暗示该裁决损害了双边关系。
黄岩岛位于三描礼士省外约120海里处。2016年的裁决将其归类为菲律宾、中国和越南渔民的传统渔场，并将其领海范围限制在12海里以内。
菲律宾指出，该裁决肯定了其200海里的专属经济区。菲方补充称，尊重此类裁决有助于维护《联合国海洋法公约》的完整性。

Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said international naval drills in the West Philippine Sea recognize the Philippines' claims under the 2016 arbitral ruling. He shared this in an ANC interview on April 1, even as China rejects the decision. Carpio pointed out that this falls short of full enforcement due to the Philippines' lack of political will.
Following recent Philippines-China talks in Quanzhou, the Department of Foreign Affairs assured that any oil and gas cooperation will strictly adhere to the Philippine Constitution and full national sovereignty, amid discussions on joint exploration in the South China Sea.
