The Duterte administration never stopped in defending the sovereign rights of the Philippines in its claimed waters in the South China Sea, Malacañang said.

This statement came after the latest survey conducted by Social Weather Stations (SWS) showed that four out of five Filipinos are against the government’s lack of action regarding the militarization of Beijing in the West Philippine Sea.
