The Philippine government is considering to acquire maritime survey vessels which will be used in exploring areas in the Philippine Rise, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Tuesday, March 6.<\/p>\n

According to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, President Rodrigo Duterte and his Cabinet members agreed that it is necessary to purchase maritime research ships as the Chief Executive asserted the country\u2019s sovereign rights over the resource-rich continental shelf.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President and the Cabinet also noted that we should invest in maritime survey ships so that we can better assess the resources that we can exploit in the Philippine Rise,\u201d Roque said during Palace news briefing.<\/p>\n

Roque said that the government has sufficient budget to buy research vessels as Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III guaranteed the budget during the Cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n

The Palace official said that there was initial proposal to use the Malampaya funds but was later dismissed due to possible legal questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an initial proposal to buy using Malampaya funds, but it was noted that there may be legal questions… [There’s a] permanent injunction issued by the Supreme Court, that Malampaya funds could only be utilized for energy-related projects,” he said.<\/p>\n

In the same meeting, the President reiterated his order to stop all foreign exploration in the Philippine Rise, formerly known as Benham Rise, saying that foreigners can only exercise freedom of navigation in the said region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cExploration for natural reassures, conduct of scientific research, laying of submarine cables, building of artificial islands are reserved for Philippine nationals,\u201d Roque stressed.<\/p>\n

The spokesman said that Duterte noticed that non-Filipinos conducted \u201ca lot of research\u201d in the plateau, including an \u201coverwhelming number\u201d made by American companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has said that he will absolutely prohibit all scientific researches in the area now and when he said that it was not directed against China, it\u2019s because as far as we know China has(conducted) only two scientific researches,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
