West Philippine Sea (FILE PHOTO FROM AFP) Hontiveros issued the appeal as the Philippines commemorates the fifth anniversary of its victory at The Hague, which affirmed the country’s claim over the WPS. “Magtayo at padamihin na ng DND ang mga pasilidad sa mga isla natin sa WPS (The DND should build more facilities on our islands in the WPS). We need to show China that we will no longer be passive about our 2016 victory,” the opposition senator said in a statement. “We tirelessly and repeatedly invoke the Arbitral Ruling in our pronouncements, but we should also complement these words with actions. It is time to act,” she added.
