MANILA - The proposed measure aimed at declaring certain areas in the Kalayaan Group of Islands (KGI) in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) as protected areas is now ready for transmission to the House Plenary for sponsorship and debate. This, after the House Committee on Natural Resources approved on Wednesday House Bill (HB) No. 6373 which seeks to declare the area 3-nautical miles (around 10 square kilometers area) surrounding the KGI and Scarborough Shoal as Marine Protected Areas (MPA) to protect the country's marine resources. HB 6373 was authored by Palawan Rep. Edward Hagedorn and sponsored by CIBAC Party-List Rep. Eddie Villanueva. Earlier, Hagedorn thanked House of Representatives Speaker Martin Romualdez for prioritizing the hearing of his proposed bill. Hagedorn cited in his proposed measure the Republic Act (RA) No. 11038 or the "Expanded National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 2018" and the Arbitral Ruling in seeking to declare the areas as MPA.
