But that EEZ is NOT territory is well-established in international law! Even the United States KNOW THIS FACT. In Koru North America v. United States (1988), decided by the United States Court of International Trade, it emphasized that “sovereign rights are not the equivalent of sovereignty.”
So we are left with a piercing question: Why do the major pundits, paraded across Filipino mainstream media, relentlessly parrot the claim that the West Philippine Sea is EEZ, hence territory? What is the source of this blatant falsehood—this deliberate distortion of reality?
To withhold these from the Filipino people is not merely deception; it is a national lobotomy, a surgical excision of our collective clarity. It condemns us to stumble blindly in the shadow of lies, robbed of the knowledge that could awaken a nation from sleepwalking into the same tragic fate as Ukraine.
