MANILA, Philippines – "Nations ought to be judged by their activities, not by their words." The Philippines is not the nation that has extraordinarily expanded its maritime and sea vicinity in the South China Sea," del Rosario said in the explanation. Nor has it barricaded nor powerfully threatened any possible nation in the South China Sea," he said alluding to the late occasions in Ayungin Shoal where Chinese Coast Guard boats kept a Philippine vessel from conveying supplies and troops to the BRP Sierra Madre.
"By submitting the dedication to the arbitral tribunal, the Philippine side has propelled a media fight to spread the Chinese side by playing up the South China Sea issue and the discretion continuing," he said.
Philippines submitted to the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) its dedication on March 30 looking to nullify China's nine-dash line guarantee in excess of 90 percent of the South China Sea including parts of the Philippines' 200-nautical mile restrictive investment zone.
