KALAYAAN is a three-part documentary making rounds on social media regarding the effects of China’s assertive claims on almost the entirety of West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).  It’s an issue that everyone should be made aware of as it poses a great risk to global trade and freedom of navigation.

“KALAYAAN” is a three-part documentary series on the West Philippine Sea (WPS) produced by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), in partnership with Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).
