The national territory of the Philippines consists of the Philippine archipelago, including all the islands and oceans contained in it.

The islands of Turtle and Mangsee were added to the territory of the Philippines.

The boundary of the territory around the archipelago was extended to 12 nautical miles from the previous 3 nautical miles.

Marcos declared that all islands included in the Kalayaan Group of Islands are under the territory of the Philippines.

In 1962, the Philippines, led by President Diosdado, filed a formal claim to its right over Sabah.

All the lands, waters, and airspace in its territory are under the absolute power or jurisdiction of the Philippines.

The waters around, between, and connecting the islands of the archipelago, regardless of their breadth and dimensions, are covered by Philippine territory.

The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which states that an archipelago state has jurisdiction of up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured, has been approved.

The total land area and Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines reaches 1,208,986 square kilometers.
