China, Philippines Discuss Joint Oil Exploration (year 2002-2003)

China and the Philippines have discussed possible joint exploration for petroleum in the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.

The speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives, Jose de Venecia, says the chairman of China's parliament, Wu Bannguo, made the proposal Sunday during talks in Manila. The lawmakers spoke to reporters after their meeting, but neither provided details.

Long a flash point for regional tensions, the Spratly Islands area is thought to be rich in oil, but its commercial potential has not been confirmed. The archipelago is claimed wholly or in part by China, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei. Mr. de Venecia said an exploration program ultimately involving all claimants could lead to a diplomatic breakthrough.

Mr. Wu is in Manila to address a conference of the Association of Asian Parliaments for Peace as its outgoing president. He will pass leadership to Mr. de Venecia.

Ano sa tingin nyu mga comrade, na scam ba tayo at Vietnam nang mga Instek? or talagang gahaman lang dati both yung Admin at opposition(groupo NoyNoy), nag aagawan kung sino maupo until operational na yung mga oil drills?

hindi yan usapin ng business interest kundi usapin ng national security, kapag pinigilan mo ang china humanap ng langis, gagamit yan ng pwersa sa iyo para ng US yang china nababaliw sa langis. Kaya ang move ng pinas ay 50-50 sa langis na hinanap ng china. Galing sa china yung equipment so 50% sa kanila. Sa Pilipinas yung location ng paghihigupan (EEZ) so 50% sa atin. Pero in the future, anangkinin ng china lahat kaya ng ginagawa nila ngayon sinasarili na nila

The alliance of Noynoy never wanted the average Filipino to become filthy rich, so the latter is plausible.

Pwersa? E Malaysia at Vietnam hindi nga nila ma pwersa pigilan yung pag lagay nang mga oil rig.... Tayo lang yung push-over dito, takot ng Tsina sa NATO hindi nila kaya mag initiate nang unang putok lahat nang nakikita mo ay show of force lamang.

Tama ka na national security issue ito, pero remember yung ZTE ******* ni Ate glo and yung "hello, Garci?" tapes nagpapatunay na benenta tayo nina Ate Glo and friends sa mga Instek.

Walang tako sa Tsina, tayo lang mga Pinoy.

Please remember that Vietnam also had a deal with China, pero wala din nangyari. That is true though, Nonoy didn't really care about us. Busy sila Nonoy kaka gawa nang mga projects para meron sila kupit, that is why He appointed Mar as DILG secretary kasi DILG nag budget sa mga projects nang mga ibat-ibang ahensya kagaya nang PNP etc.. at pati yung DND sa defense acquisition na subrang "budgeted".

[XX='Delta India Charlie Kilo, c: 645065, m: 262490'][/XX] may kasunduan ang pilipinas sa china kasi kapag puputok ang gera ang unang strategic base sa pilipinas gagawin tayong battlefield habang yung ibang bansa nagmamaneveur sa atin, kaya nagpaneutral ang Pilipinas ngayon, hatian na lang kaysa sa pumutok gera,

[XX='Patrickpog1ast1g, c: 645427, m: 1226789'][/XX] Walang "neutral" sa gyera brad, magiging battlefield tayo dahil naipit tayo sa pagitan nang Tsina at US.

Walang magaganap na gyera sa panahon ngayun, pero meron nagaganap na gyera sa economiya nang mga world superpowers which is nasa gitna din tayo.. sadly
