The Senate leadership on Tuesday vowed to push for measures that would strengthen the Philippines' legal claim and position in the West Philippine Sea, as well as bills that seek to improve the Philippine Armed Forces' ability to be a deterrence.

“For one thing, we are made aware of the damage wrought by the dredging and island building, particularly, the habitats ruined and the critically endangered species caught. Although we can assess previous damage, we should focus on rehabilitation and preventing future harm,” Legarda said.“By using blue bonds, understanding ocean processes, and implementing holistic and sustainable policies, we can reduce tensions in our EEZ through business and partnerships,” Legarda added.
