‘Bilateral talks best option to end sea row’

THE Philippines should not rely solely on the case it filed against China at The Hague in its attempt to settle overlapping claims in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), a political analyst said on Sunday.

Bobby Tuazon, director for policy studies of the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPeg), said the government can still pursue other options in resolving the maritime dispute with China even after receiving a favorable decision from the United Nations arbitral tribunal.
