"better off" with a joint exploration deal with China in order to tap the rich oil reserves in contested waters.The new head of the Philippine Coast Guard said he is all for conducting a joint exploration deal with China in disputed waters off West Philippine Sea.

Garcia, a licensed master mariner with a doctorate in public administration, added that he fully supports the joint exploration for oil and gas with China, saying"it's for the Filipino people." The memorandum of understanding on cooperation on oil and gas development was signed during Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the Philippines in November 2018. This document states that the two countries agree to fast-track arrangements for joint exploration in maritime areas in accordance with international law.

Duterte earlier drew flak for saying he will"ignore" the 2016 arbitral ruling"to come up with an economic activity." He added that China has promised to give the Philippines the bigger chunk or 60 percent of the revenues from the planned joint project. However, this sharing scheme is not included in the recent documents seen by CNN Philippines.A Philippine law, Presidential Decree No.

Nabili na din to ng China. Pera pera nalang po ba labanan ngayon?

Wow! This is good news.

isa pang bobo...

Wala bang iba? Ang sabihin nyo, we’re better off to partner withthem kasi naibenta na tayo. Yung Malampaya ba, intsik ba parter ng PNOC dun?

First speech and dropping his pants already... What you want to do with people giving up to their bullies.... Why ask another country with no link to this issue? Afraid China will send a strong reminder to Duterte that will of course bow?

stupid vice admiral

So this guy is also an expert in economics?

Dedees:

Bring back the US Fleet instead to protect the ENTIRE Philippines from China Invasion.

WtF?! The West PH Sea is for Filipinos ONLY. Not for Duterte, Not for China!
