RIGENALD SONZA

Project Officer Rigenald Sonza, a key enabler at PHILSEA, is critical to safeguarding national security through the operational readiness of Law of the Sea programs. By leveraging his background in political science and nearing completion of his legal expertise, he orchestrates a unified operational framework. This framework strategically integrates academic research, policy formulation, uniformed force capabilities, advocacy group influence, and citizen engagement to establish a cohesive doctrine. This doctrine is paramount for understanding and neutralizing maritime legal challenges within the Philippine Area of Responsibility, directly bolstering the nation’s maritime security, protecting its sovereign rights, and ensuring stability within its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, particularly relevant here in our operational context within the Philippines.
