    PRINCIPLE:

    ARCHIPELAGIC BASELINES (R.A. 9522)

    - Baselines laws such as R.A. 9522 are enacted by United Nations


    convention on the law of the sea (UNCLOS III) states parties to mark out
    specific base ports along their costs from which baselines are drawn,
    either straight or contoured, to serve geographic starting points to
    measure the breadth of the maritime zones and continental shelf.
    - Baselines Laws are nothing but statutory mechanisms for United
    Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) States Parties to
    delimit with precision the extent of the maritime zones and continental
    shelves.
    - R.A. 9522 increased the Philippines’ total maritime space by 145,216
    nautical miles.
    - Enactment of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
    (UNCLOS III) compliant baselines law for the Philippine archipelago and
    adjacent areas, as embodied in R.A. 9522, allows an internationally
    recognized delimitation of the breadth of the Philippines’ maritime
    zones and continental shelf.

    UNCLOS III, R.A. 9522 did not surrender any territory for UNCLOS III is
    concerned with setting order in the exercise of sea-use rights, not the
    acquisition or cession of territory.
