PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will continue to promote a rules-based international order in the disputed South China Sea when he meets with his fellow leaders in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit in Indonesia next week, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Thursday.

This, as the Philippines dismissed Beijing's newly-released map, which features a 10-dash line that signifies that China owns the entire South China Sea, overlapping with the exclusive economic zones of the Philippines, and other claimants from the Asean.
