Manila seeks oil investors despite China’s protest
AP
MANILA | The Philippines has proceeded to invite foreign investors to explore for fuel deposits in two offshore areas near the South China Sea despite a protest from China, which also claims the territory.
Energy Secretary Jose Almendras says the areas northwest of Palawan island are in Philippine territory and are two of 15 areas nationwide being offered to foreign investors for oil and gas exploration.
The Chinese Embassy last year protested the plans to invite foreign companies to explore in the two areas, saying they’re part of the South China Sea region that falls under its sovereignty.
Almendras that the government would start awarding exploration contracts to some companies but did not say whether the permits would include the two areas claimed by china.
