Philippines urges Gaza ceasefire, law-based South China Sea resolution at UNGA

Philippine Foreign Secretary Lazaro used the UNGA platform to back Palestinian statehood, call for a Gaza ceasefire, and reiterate that South China Sea disputes must be settled by law, not might. The statement reinforces Manila's consistent stance amid ongoing maritime tensions with Beijing, while also endorsing AI governance, climate action, and UNSC reform. No new policy shift or concrete action is indicated.
