THE Philippines will release soon a new map that will include the West Philippine Sea within its jurisdiction, the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (Namria) said Friday.
Speaking during a press conference in Malacañang, Namria Administrator Peter Tiangco said the map will be published after the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the newly signed Republic Act (RA) 12064, or the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, is released.
