MANILA -- The Philippines on Wednesday launched a website containing "official information" about Manila's arbitration victory against Beijing in their South China Sea territorial dispute.

Marking the seventh anniversary of the July 12, 2016, ruling that voided China's sweeping claims over the contested waterway, the site's launch represents the latest effort by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration to firm up Manila's position in the dispute.
