Fresh conflicts in the South China Sea may arise as claimants – excluding the Philippines – push ahead with oil and gas projects in areas Beijing claims, according to a new report.

Data from US-based Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative detailed claimants’ new offshore projects, many of which lie inside China's sweeping"nine-dash" line claim, including sites where confrontations previously took place.It also noted that this comes after tensions over hydrocarbons relatively eased between China and Southeast Asian nations last year.

The AMTI said China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia have moved forward with their energy exploration and development projects, while the Philippines continues to suspend all such ventures in contested waters — a policy it adopted in 2014. “Without access to more promising prospects, Philippine operators have turned to redeveloping the Cadlao oil field, an old concession that sits outside of China’s nine-dash line claim and that last produced oil in the early 1990s,” the AMTI added.

Takot kasi ang Pinas. Hindi makapalag sa mga karatig bansa lalo na sa China. Kinukuha na yung yaman ng dagat at lupa hindi pa rin pumapalag.
