Why is the Philippines adopt sea unit?
Answer (1)
The Philippines adopted the use of sea units mainly due to its geography as an archipelagic country surrounded by vast maritime territories. The use of sea units is important for defining territorial waters, economic zones, and maritime boundaries according to international law, especially the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This helps the Philippines manage and protect its marine resources, assert sovereignty over its waters, and engage in diplomatic and legal matters concerning territorial disputes.
