MANILA - Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. on Wednesday reiterated that only Filipino-flagged ships are allowed to survey Philippine waters for now.
“So now tell me who do we give to or withhold from authority to survey? flag of the boat or nationality of the surveying group leasing it? Need to inform everyone. For now only Filipino-flagged ships allowed. We need clear rules,” Locsin said.
Well now it is clear: we can’t impose a ban but we can refuse to grant authority to marine survey. But my rule is all or nothing; everybody or nobody qualified. https://t.co/dCEhz3FJpwLocsin earlier said foreigners joining Filipino marine scientific research must “turn over command and control, all data-gathering facilities” to Filipinos.
