    Excerpt
    The Philippine government was urged yesterday to create a protection framework for Benham Rise, an undersea territory east of Luzon brimming with natural resources, to prevent foreign vessels from trespassing. Oceana, the world’s largest international non-governmental organization working on ocean conservation, came out with a statement yesterday, urging the Philippine government to protect Benham Rise. Benham Rise is an undersea territory located east of Luzon. It includes a 13-million hectare extended continental shelf validated in 2012 by the United Nations’ Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (UN CLCS) as the Philippines’ newest territory.
