China firmly rejects the Philippines’ proposal to bring the Scarborough Shoal dispute to the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (Itlos), but the Philippines is not giving up.
The Philippine proposal is verbal, but Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario on Wednesday said the Philippines would send a formal invitation to China.
Del Rosario said Manila “would like to find a way to settle the impasse [with Beijing]†but at the same time uphold the Philippines’ “sovereignty and sovereign rights†over the shoal, located 124 nautical miles (223 kilometers) west of Zambales province.
