context_page_description: The following is a list of major ports in the Philippines organized by water mass.
  This list consists primarily of shipping ports, but also includes some that are primarily or significantly devoted to other purposes: cruises, fishing, local delivery, and marinas.
context_section_description: The West Philippine Sea is immediately to the west of the Philippines. It is located in the southeastern portion of the South China Sea.
  Note: In September 2012, Philippine President Benigno Aquino III signed Administrative Order No. 29, mandating that all government agencies use the name "West Philippine Sea" to refer to the parts of the South China Sea within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone, and tasked the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) to use the name in official maps.
