    - The national territory comprises the Philippine archipelago, with all the islands and waters
    embraced therein, and all other territories over which the Philippines has sovereignty or
    jurisdiction, consisting of its terrestrial, fluvial and aerial domains, including its territorial sea,
    the seabed, the subsoil, the insular shelves, and other submarine areas. The waters around,

    dimensions, form part of the internal waters of the Philippines.

    the country on August of 1983 provided for our Maritime Zone of 12 miles and Exclusive Economic
    Zone of 200 miles.

     
    Citizenship
    2 Principles used in determining the citizenship if a person:

    - a principle of nationality law by which citizenship is determined or acquired by the nationality or
    ethnicity of one or both parents.
    2. Jus soli

    [1] Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of this Constitution;
    [2] Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines;
    [3] Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon
    reaching the age of majority; and
