SEN. Francis Tolentino yesterday said any settlement reached with China on the West Philippine Sea issue should be rules-based.

He made the remark after Minister Liu Jianchao, of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China said his country is “ready to continue” proper dialogue in a bid to find a “proper settlement” of the territorial and maritime dispute.

“It should be rules-based. it should not stray away from the arbitral ruling and should be anchored on the general principles of international law,” Tolentino said.
