Amends baselines of Philippine territorial sea

Republic Act No. 5446 amends Section 1 of Republic Act No. 3046.
The amendment is made for the purpose of correcting typographical errors in the baseline definitions.

Section 1 replaces the text of Section 1 of Republic Act No. 3046 with an amended baseline schedule defining the baselines for the territorial sea of the Philippines.
The baselines are defined and described specifically by listing, for named baseline points and line segments, N. Latitude, E. Longitude, Asimuth, and Distance (In Meters).
The amended schedule includes a continuous set of baseline lines identified through successive point-to-point segments, starting with “Y’ami Island (E) Line 1” and ending with “Y’ami I. (E)”.
Section 1 provides the corrected values and labels for each line segment, with each segment expressed in the form “[Point]--[Next Point]” and accompanied by its latitude, longitude, asimuth, and distance in meters.

Section 2 provides that the amended baseline definition is without prejudice to the delineation of the baseline for the territorial sea around the territory of Sabah, situated in North Borneo.
Section 2 states the Philippines has acquired dominion and sovereignty over the territory of Sabah, and baseline delineation relating to Sabah remains governed without being affected by the amendment.

Section 1 makes the baselines definition effective through an amended replacement of the typographical content of the baseline schedule.
Section 3 fixes the timing: effectivity occurs upon approval of September 18, 1968.
Section 2 preserves the continued legal standing of Sabah-related baseline delineation despite the amended baseline schedule for the Philippines.
