PNoy to push for sea code of conduct at ASEAN summit

From GMANews (Nov 15): PNoy to push for sea code of conduct at ASEAN summit

President Benigno Aquino III on Thursday announced that his main objective for the upcoming ASEAN Summit is to personally push for an assurance that the Code of Conduct in the west Philippine Sea (South China Sea) will be implemented. “Iyong una muna, siyempre gusto nating magkaroon sana ng mas matibay na consensus, mas mapadali iyong tinatawag na Code of Conduct to implement the Declaration of Conduct on South China Sea,” Aquino said on the sidelines of the 38th Top Level Management Conference of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas. Aquino was here to serve as guest of honor and keynote speaker. The president reminded the public that along with the Philippines, three other nations in the ASEAN claim territories in the sea—all the more reason to push for a multilateral approach to resolving the disputes.
