The South China Sea is a semi-enclosed sea in the western Pacific Ocean “spanning an area of almost 3.5
million square kilometers”. It is a “crucial shipping lane, a rich fishing ground, and believed to hold substantial
oil and gas resources”. It abuts several States. It lies to the “south of China and the islands of Hainan and
Taiwan; to the west of the Philippines; to the east of Vietnam; and to the north of Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore
and Indonesia”. It includes hundreds of geographical features, either above or below water. Five states have
competing claims. It is of interest to note that China claims sovereignty and historic rights over all the islands
and other maritime features of South China Sea which lie beyond the 12 mile territorial sea limit of China as
well as that of any other coastal State. China claims to have exercised authority and control historically over the
entire South China Sea prior to and during the period of its colonization and occupation by Japan. These
“historic rights” are illustrated by a map depicting what has since come to be known as the dotted/nine-dash
line. The dotted line encloses the main island features of the South China Sea: the Pratas Islands, the Paracel
Islands, the Macclesfield Bank, and the Spratly Islands. The dotted line also captures James Shoal which is as
far south as 4 degrees north latitude. On its significance, it is noted in an essay that.

The study carried out here reveals that, though termed differently, the nine-dash line can be best defined, in
view of China’s long-standing practice, as a line to preserve both its title to territory and its historic rights. It has
three meanings. First, it represents the title to the island groups that it encloses. In other words, within the nine-
dash line in the South China Sea, China has sovereignty over the islands and other insular features, and has
sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction—in accordance with UNCLOS—over the waters and seabed and
subsoil adjacent to those islands and insular features. Second, it preserves Chinese historic rights in fishing,
navigation, and such other marine activities as oil and gas development in the waters and on the continental
shelf surrounded by the line. Third, it is likely to allow for such residual functionality as to serve as potential
maritime delimitation lines.

The Philippines in particular sought a declaratory award on three interrelated matters: First, that China’s claims
regarding the rights and obligations in regard to the waters, seabed, and maritime features of the South China
Sea, on the basis of historic rights and as depicted in the map containing the nine-dash line, are invalid because
they are inconsistent with the Convention. According to the Philippines the dispute it has with China is solely
governed by the Convention. Second, it seeks determination as to whether, under the Convention, certain
maritime features claimed by both China and the Philippines “are properly characterized as islands, rocks, low-
tide elevations, submerged banks”; and on the type of maritime rights they are capable of generating. The
Philippines focused in this connection, in particular, on Scarborough Shoal and eight specific features in the
Spratly Island group. The main objective of the Philippines in raising these two issues is to question Chinese
claims to sovereignty over these maritime features and using them as a basis for its maritime entitlements.
Third, “the Philippines seek declarations that China violated the Convention by interfering with the exercise of
the Philippines sovereign rights and freedoms under the Convention and through construction and fishing
activities that have harmed the marine environment”.

Where do you want to go after this pandemic?

There’s only one place I always wanted to visit every summer and specially 'Ber months’. Where rainfall is
always expected and it’s so good to be there. A very quite place where you can find peace of mind and no one
can bothered you even phone calls because there’s no signal. Not just like here living in the city that you always
holding your phone everytime and just browse to different social media sites. In that place makes me relax and
reflects to myself while enjoying the view of the rice fields and mountains in the morning and just having a hot
coffee feeling the cold breeze weather. I always miss going home, to my hometown, Apayao.

But this pandemic we’re facing family gatherings have cancelled. We cannot see them because there’s a lot of
process if you go travel. Apayao is reachable by two hours van ride from Laoag City to Claveria, Cagayan.

Traditional Teaching:
Globe- The word globe comes from the Latin word globus, meaning “sphere”.
Martin Behaim was the first person who created a globe in 1942.
“A spherical model of earth”
Globes serve similar purposes to maps, but unlike maps, do not distort the surface that they portray except to
scale it down.
A globe is a miniature physical representation of the Earth. The parts of the globe includes its landforms and
bodies of water.
Blue- Bodies of earth
70% of the world is covered by water.

The parts of the globe includes its landforms and bodies of water.
Globe depict the world’s islands and its seven continents:
One of the larger continuous masses of land, namely, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica,
Europe and Australia, listed in order of size. Europe and Asia are sometimes considered a single continent,
Eurasia.
Most of the seven continents are divided by called countries.
More than half in the world is covered in water.
Five main very big oceans, First there’s the Pacific Ocean Asia and America between is the largest ocean in the
world. It covers almost 30% of the planet. Second, The other side of America is the Atlantic Ocean, the second
largest ocean. The next biggest ocean is the Indian Ocean below Asia and between Africa and Australia.
Another major ocean is the Arctic Ocean when there’s no land, just water and most of the time also covered in
ice. Lastly, the Southern Ocean also known as the Antarctica Ocean.

Map- A world map is a map of most or all of

the surface of Earth. Maps of the world
generally focus either on political features or
on physical features. Political maps
emphasize the territorial boundaries and
human settlement. Physical maps show
geographic features such as mountain, soil
type or land use. Geological maps show not
only the surface , but characteristics of the underlying rock, fault lines, and subsurface structures. Choropleth
maps use color hue and intensity to contrast differences between regions, such as demographic or economics
statistics.

National Heritage- Heritage pertains to the full

range of our inherited traditions, monuments,
objects, and culture. The people of one’s own
country get known to their own natural, cultural,
religious properties. The widespread
information throughout the rest of the countries
makes them attracted to international tourists.
Example: The Saint Agustin Church commonly
known as the Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte that
has the longest aisle and one of the oldest
churches in the Philippines. It was declared as a
National Cultural Treasure by the Philippine Government in 1973 and a UNESCO World Heritage site under
the collective group of Baroque Churches of the Philippine in 1993.

Photo- A photograph is also known as a photo is an

image created by light falling on a photosensitive
surface usually photographic film or an electronic
image sensor. The essential purpose of photography
is communication. Few people take pictures solely
to please themselves. Most of us take them because
we want them seen by others.

Flash Cards- A card with a word or picture on it that is

used to help students learn.
 Compass- A compass is a navigational instrument for
determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic
poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually
marked on the North end) free to align itself with
Earth's magnetic field. The compass greatly improved
the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean
travel. A compass can be used to calculate heading,
used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a
marine chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus
provides a much improved navigational capability that
has only been recently supplanted by modern devices
such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). A
compass is any magnetically sensitive device capable
of indicating the direction of the magnetic north of a
planet's magnetosphere. The face of the compass generally highlights the cardinal points of north, south, east
and west. Often, compasses are built as a stand alone sealed instrument with a magnetized bar or needle turning
freely upon a pivot, or moving in a fluid, thus able to point in a northerly and southerly direction.
