– In light of China’s continued incursions in the West Philippine Sea and its recent release of a standard map featuring a 10-dash line, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri disclosed that the upper chamber will ensure the passage of the Maritime Zones Act before 2023 ends.
“That is a priority of the Senate. We commit to you [that] by [the] end of the year, before December, we will deliberate it during the budget deliberations [and] we will pass the Maritime Zones Act,” said Zubiri in a mix of English and Filipino in a press conference held Thursday.
