PHILIPPINE President Benigno Aquino has renamed western offshore waters in the South China Sea as the West Philippine Sea.
The government's map-making agency has been told to use the new name to label waters west of the Philippine archipelago, including those around China's Nansha Islands and the Huangyan Island.
China and the Philippines figured in a maritime standoff over the Huangyan Island in April. The standoff has since strained ties between the two countries.
