MANILA — The Philippine government asked China anew to join in the arbitration proceedings over their long-standing disputes in the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea) after the Netherlands-based tribunal gave Beijing until December 15 to respond to the complaint filed by Manila.

China has rejected the Philippine case that was filed on January 2013 and insists on resolving the sea row bilaterally.

Manila submitted its written pleading or memorial that contained volumes of documents and maps to bolster its case against China on March 30 this year and the arbitral tribunal gave Beijing six months to file a counter-memorial.
