💨 Abstract

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has signed two laws to strengthen the country's maritime claims and bolster its territorial integrity, particularly in the South China Sea. The Maritime Zones Act and the Archipelagic Sea Lanes Act aim to define the Philippines' maritime entitlements, establish designated sea lanes, and protect its rights to resources in its exclusive economic zone. The laws are intended to help the U.S.
