Energy exploration dims further in WPS
Excerpt
The possibility of oil and gas exploration in the West Philippine Sea dimmed further after the Philippines terminated talks with China over joint energy exploration in the disputed sea, as resumption of any activities could escalate geopolitical tensions. Following the termination of negotiations with China, the Department of Energy (DOE) – in coordination with the Security, Justice and Peace Coordinating Cluster (SJPCC) for safety and security concerns – said in a statement over the weekend that it continues to pursue talks with existing service contract holders so they can proceed with their work programs.
