During the conference, Carpio also shared insights on the significance of accurately referencing the ‘West PH Sea’ in official documents and maps.
With his extensive knowledge and expertise in international law, Justice Carpio has been instrumental in shaping the country’s stance on maritime disputes. His involvement in various initiatives aims to promote a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the West Philippine Sea issue. By shedding light on the PH Maritime Zones Act, Carpio continues to contribute to the ongoing conversation about Philippine sovereignty and territorial integrity.
