local.seafdecaqd.extractThere should be no problem for the Philippines over Benham Rise because (1) the Philippines is the sole claimant; and (2) the U.N. Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) ruled in 2012 that Benham Rise is part of the Philippines’ Extended Continental Shelf (ECS). It is not Philippine territory – we have no ”sovereignty” over it, but we have “sovereign rights” – exclusive rights to explore and exploit the oil, gas, and other natural resources in that undersea plateau which is as big as Luzon (if not bigger). It is only to the east of Luzon (Pacific Ocean side) where we have no rival claimant. We should be thankful we have Benham Rise to ourselves, to develop as a new source of natural resources for Philippine industry and progress.en
