    South China Sea Code will not cover bilaterally disputed areas, says China

    By Charmaine C. Deogracias  |  Aug 06, 2017 9:48 PM

    PH as ASEAN chair should push for stronger ocean governance

    By Alberto A. Encomienda  |  Aug 03, 2017 12:34 PM

    BANGKOK, Feb 24 (Reporting ASEAN) – If ASEAN issues were a consumer product for sale, buyers wouldn’t exactly be queuing up for it – not even with the sales pitch that it is a brand with 50 years of history to fall back on this year.
