Renowned jurist and former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has expressed his views on the importance of building upon the legacy left by the late President Ferdinand Marcos regarding the territorial dispute in the West Philippine Sea.
Carpio, known for his expertise on international law and maritime disputes, believes that it would be a significant achievement for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to further cement his father’s policy on this issue.
This stance is rooted in Carpio’s understanding of the strategic importance of asserting sovereignty over the disputed territories and promoting a unified national approach in resolving the conflict.
