WPS Philippine Advisory Board Meeting

Manila, Philippines — Last Monday, October 20, 2025, the WPS Philippine Advisory Board gathered for the first time, together with Dr. Jeffrey Ordaniel, WPS President and CEO. Composed of seasoned professionals in law, national security and defense, journalism, diplomacy, and strategic studies, the Board and its collective expertise are envisioned to guide the organization’s mission in advancing a rules-based, principled approach to resolving disputes in the West Philippine Sea and the broader Indo-Pacific.

The meeting discussed past, ongoing, and future projects and initiatives that WPS seeks to convene. The board’s contributions will be invaluable in strengthening WPS’ commitment to fostering regional maritime cooperation. We look forward to collaborating with one another to continuously defend our country’s sovereignty, sovereign rights, and maritime interests in the West Philippine Sea.
