In his past three State of the Nation Addresses, Marcos has consistently vowed to stand firm on his administration’s independent foreign policy and defense of the country's sovereign rights in the WPS while maintaining good relations with other countries.
Napansin ng news outlets at netizens noong Abril 14 na ang Google Maps ay may mas kitang-kita na label ng West Philippine Sea sa site nito. Ano ang big deal tungkol sa Google Maps at West Philippine Sea? Narito ang paliwanag ng VERA Files:
Maling iginiit ng Meta AI na ang Pilipinas ay may soberanya sa West Philippine Sea. Ang Pilipinas ay may mga sovereign rights, hindi soberanya, sa WPS. Ang dalawang konsepto ay hindi mapagpapalit.
News outlets and netizens noted on April 14 that Google Maps had more prominently labeled and displayed the West Philippine Sea (WPS) on its site.
Meta AI incorrectly described the labeling of the West Philippine Sea on Google Maps an "assertion of the country's sovereignty." The Philippines has sovereign rights, not sovereignty, over features in the WPS.
A video claiming that France recently sent 49 warships to the Philippines to counter China is false.
A video claiming that the United States bombed Chinese vessels and fishing boats in the West Philippine Sea is false. The video is a compilation of old clips.
The numbers Marcoleta cited are incorrect and outdated. They do not correspond to land features in the South China Sea claimed by each country, but the number of outposts put up in the Spratly Islands, which is only a portion of the disputed waters.
A YouTube video claims that the Philippines bombed China's "monster ship" in the West Philippine Sea. This is not true.
Ang pahayag ni Mel Velarde sa papel ng 1734 Murillo Velarde map sa pagpapatibay ng soberanya ng Pilipinas sa West Philippine Sea ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.
