Senator Francis Tolentino proposes a 'middle ground' for the MTRCB and the film's producers — editing out the part where the controversial map could be seen.
domestic distribution of"Barbie," a Philippine senator is calling for a similar move here in the country after the film featured a map showing Beijing's controversial"nine-dash line" claim in the disputed South China Sea.
In 2016, an international arbitral tribunal in The Hague upheld the Philippines' sovereign rights and jurisdiction in its exclusive economic zone in the resource-rich waters and said Beijing's"nine-dash line" claim had no legal basis. China, however, refuses to recognize the ruling. The senator said editing out the contested part could be a"middle ground" for the MTRCB and the film producers.
