As more navigational buoys are needed to mark the country’s maritime borders, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) may turn to the Philippine Navy for help in installing more of them in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), according to a lawmaker. “The Coast Guard should install more buoys in the entire breadth of the WPS, from the northern part of the country in the Ilocos region to the south in the Palawan area, because that is the extent of Philippine territorial waters China is claiming,” Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, chairman of the House committee on constitutional amendments, said yesterday in a statement. “Coast Guard could also seek the help of the Philippine Navy in placing the buoys.”
