If he becomes president, former senator Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. said he will push for the crafting of a code of conduct between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and China to resolve the territorial dispute in the South China Sea, which includes the West Philippine Sea.

During the presidential debate hosted by media network SMNI on Tuesday, Marcos said he is keen on asking help from the Asean and the United Nations in dealing with the Philippines' maritime dispute with China.
