Where in the world is the Philippines?

Head of the ASEAN Studies Centre at ISEAS, Rodolfo C. Severino’s latest book Where in the World is the Philippines raises questions on the width and breadth of Philippine territory. The distinguished diplomat tackles this issue comprehensively, tracing the confusion to the colonial days when the world was divided between two maritime powers, Spain and Portugal, up to the present with countries delineating their territorial boundaries guided by the “veritable constitution of the world’s seas” 
— the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
