The West Philippines' Sea (WPS) or also known as South China Sea.

The West Philippine's Sea is called such by the Philippines. It is also called South

China Sea by China and East Sea by Vietnam.

It was recently called as WEST PHILIPPINES SEA (WPS) because of most of the important areas are belonged to the Spratlys - within 200 Nautical Miles from the Philippines.

The Philippines recently changed it such name to avoid confusion to their people asking "What's in the name is the owner"
