The Facts: Bongbong Marcos’s website claims he authored Republic Act 9522 or the Philippine Archipelagic Baselines Law, which defines the territorial seas of the Philippines.

This is False.

RA 9522, which consolidates House Bill 3216 with Senate Bill No. 2699, has had zero involvement from Bongbong Marcos (https://legacy.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%209522.pdf).

HB 3216 was principally written by Antonio Cuenco and filed on 2007 (https://hrep-website.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/…), while the Senate counterpart was filed in 2008 by Antonio Trillanes IV, Aquilino Pimentel Jr., Edgardo Angara, Rodolfo Biazon, Juan Ponce Enrile, and Miriam Defensor Santiago (https://legacy.senate.gov.ph/lisdata/91138292!.pdf).
