House panel discusses possible PH-China joint exploration of S. China Sea Inquirer
This better not be a case of "[saying] one thing in public and [doing] another on the ground." |

even if its legal, the important thing is not to allow chinese oil rig platform in Recto or Malampaya bank because if for whatever reason the chinese decides that their platform will permanently squat in recto or malampaya, what will the philippine govt do about it ? we all know , our govt will do nothing. This scenario is not only possible , it is very likely based on past chinese behavior so its better to be prudent and not risk such as disastrous situation. The most that can be allowed assuming its legal is to allow only chinese financial investment in oil exploration, but a big NO to the use of chinese oil drilling platforms in philippine reefs such as malampaya or recto - those oil rig platforms will only be Trojan horses to intrude deeper into our territory.

Allowing "joint exploration" in non-disputed areas is the Arroyo JMSU deal all over again!
At this time the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on this matter. Yet going by recent rulings, a pattern emerges: ![]()
With this rubber stamp Supreme Court in Duterte's pocket, the plan becomes all too clear. Treason! Edited by raider1011, Aug 18 2017, 07:27 AM.

"Non-Disputed Area" - It seems that the Chinese 9-dash line almost goes all the way to your shores. - So which area is exactly not disputed? - Does this mean that the ITLOS ruling has been thrown out? |

there is a map somewhere on google that shows a small area in the south china sea that is outside the 200 mile EEZ of any of the claimants. it includes pagasa island among others. that area is the only area that is not disputed in legal terms(UNCLOS rules) but that would contradict china's 9 dash line. it would be shocking if china has indirectly acknowledged that area as undisputed. on the other hand, undisputed can also refer to the areas ITLOS awarded to us so in a 'narrow' sense this areas are now undisputed. e.g. malampaya and recto banks Edited by pachador, Aug 18 2017, 10:40 PM.

It looks like a sell-out to me as China has a whole 'list' of it's own rules which doesn't conform to anyone else's. |

Presumably it could mean also out of the West Philippine Sea/South China Sea, or even atolls/islets over which the Philippines and China don't have competing claims. As for ITLOS/UNCLOS, Duterte's appeasing moves to China demonstrates he doesn't want to give that past victory ruling any importance in order not to irk China.

Perhaps we underestimated how close the Malaysians were to the Chinese... ABS-CBN
